Factions
Updated
Founding a faction
/faction create <name>founds your faction and makes you its leader.- Stand in a province and run
/faction setcapital <name>. This is required before you can claim anything else. - Stand in a province adjacent to land you already own and run
/faction claim(leader only). - Invite others with
/faction invite <player>; they accept with/faction join <name>.
Note
Titles and tiers
Prestige unlocks the next title tier, each with its own province-forming cost.
| Tier | Prestige needed | Form cost |
|---|---|---|
| Province (untitled) | 10 | N/A |
| County | 100 | 5 |
| Duchy | 400 | 4 |
| Kingdom | 1,000 | 4 |
| Empire | 2,500 | 3 |
Prestige ranks
Prestige rank is separate from title tier. It lowers the de-jure requirement for annexing land as you climb.
| Rank | Prestige |
|---|---|
| Obscure Faction | 0 |
| Influential Faction | 200 |
| Powerful Faction | 500 |
| Glorious Faction | 600 |
| Legendary Faction | 3,000 |
Money and banking
Banking needs a claimed bank chunk.
The leader places a faction bank block, then anyone standing in that bank chunk can /faction deposit <amount>; only the leader can /faction withdraw <amount>. Guilds work the same way with their own bank chunk. Every deposit and withdrawal moves denars: see the Denar Economy page for how the currency itself works.

Guilds and government
A guild is a sub-organisation inside your faction, useful for trade income.
Any non-leader member can /guild create <name> to start a sub-guild with its own bank, leadership, and trade branches (Bureaucracy, Guild Halls, Workshops, Storehouses). The faction leader runs the "base guild" automatically. From /faction menu you can also open government, laws, taxes, council and elections: under a democracy the leader can't be set directly; players vote at voting booths instead.
Resource nodes
Guilds also own resource nodes: production sites that turn out ores, crops, wood or stone on a repeating cycle. You must be in a guild to place one, and a one-person guild is enough.
- Craft a General Node and place it. A guild can own only one node, and each chunk holds only one.
- Run it as an Ore Mine, Magical Mine, Farm, Plantation, Forestry or Quarry, then pick what it focuses on.
- Upgrades from level 1 to 10 are paid from the guild bank, so the guild needs a bank with funds in it.
- Only members of the owning guild can change a node. A guild leader can claim a node that another guild has marked for transfer.
War and battles
Battles are scheduled events, not spontaneous fights.
When a war has been declared, check /war list. Form a squad with /warband create <name>, then join a scheduled fight with /battle join <battleId> when its window opens, or a campaign raid with /raid join during its 60-second muster. Retreating a warband mid-battle is locked for the first 20 minutes.
Installations
Built by a faction leader with /faction construct, in an owned, non-water province.
| Type | Radius | Upkeep / day | Build time | Vehicle slots |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fort | 80 blocks | 30 d | 5 days | 8 static emplacement + 2 land vehicle |
| Port | 80 blocks | 15 d | 3 days | 8 ship |
| Airport | 80 blocks | 20 d | 3 days | 10 aircraft |
| Train station | 80 blocks | 5 d | 3 days | 2 static emplacement |
Note
/faction vehicle maintenance pay) cannot be repaired. The upkeep column is for a newly built installation. A train station at level 2 costs 35 denars a day (3-day build, 3 static emplacements). Level 3 costs 100 denars a day (5-day build, 4 static emplacements).Trade, lanes, and foreign installations
Ports, airports, stations, and the lanes between them carry a guild's trade.
Ports, airports and train stations carry a guild's trade and production further, and so do the sea lanes and railways between them. Trade can join a sea lane or railway at any province along it, and is strongest getting on and off at the installations.
Guilds can use every installation in their realm. A foreign installation depends on a trade agreement and on both realms' economy laws. An equal trade agreement gives full use both ways. An unequal treaty gives the leader full use and the subject half.
The host's law sets how open its installations are to foreign guilds. The guest's law adds or removes reach abroad. Access is capped at 100%. An isolationist host stays closed whatever the guest's law. Embargo or war means no access. Tariffs apply as usual.
| Economy law | Open to foreigners | Own guilds abroad |
|---|---|---|
| Free trade | 50% | +10% |
| Decentralized | 35% | — |
| Mercantilism | 15% | +20% |
| Protectionism | 10% | — |
| Isolationism | Closed | −25% |
/faction construct builds a fort, port, airport, or train station in the current province at once. There is no confirmation screen. The province must be owned and not water, and only one build can be underway.
Note
Mercenaries
A guild can found a mercenary company and hire it out to other factions.
Inside a guild, /company found <name> buys a charter; the company leader invites recruits and drafts a contract with /company draft, then sends it to a buyer faction with /company offer <faction>. Buyers browse the market with /mercenaries and hire with /mercenaries hire <company>.
