War Mechanics Overview

Villages and Castles produce resources every hour and are periodically collected by Caravans
Villages and Castles have health and defense values
Defense changes by 1 each hour toward the baseline
- Village: 50 defense
- Castle: 75 defense
Health regenerates each hour
- Village: 1250 (total 5000)
- Castle: 2500 (total 15000)
Villages in the same region grant bonus regen for Castles based on the Village health remaining (1250/hour at full health)
Castles that are reduced to 0 health can be captured by attacking players, claiming the region for their village

War Actions Overview

Players rank Chuunin and higher can participate in war
Chuunin are vulnerable to being attacked by Jonin while carrying resources or while taking a war action only
War actions cost resources per tick and have an additional effect if completed successfully
Infiltrate: Steal 1 resource per tick, decrease target Defense by 1
Reinforce: Increase target health by [Player Lv / 2] per tick, increase target Defense by 1
Raid: Deal [Player Lv] damage per tick reduced by Defense (e.g. 50 Defense = 50% damage reduction), decrease target Defense by 1
- Raiding a village or castle will alert defending players and allies
Loot: Steal 5 random resources from target Caravan
Players can carry a maximum of 25 resources at a time and can deposit resources while at their home village

Patrols

AI patrols spawn in each region and will attack neutral or enemy players
Patrols will take any resources carried by a player they defeat
Patrols that are defeated by players will respawn after 10 minutes with a chance of being higher or lower tier
