Land occupation
What happens during the occupation period?
The occupied Lands automatically transfer all the taxes to the Treasury of the winning Baron for 3 days. And all current treasury savings on this Land automatically goes to the winner’s Treasury. No other bonuses for the land-owning are lost from the owner’s side. The losing Baron has 3 days to pay out a fixed ransom for his Land. If he pays out, then after this time the Land returns under his property. If he doesn’t payout, the Land NFT passes to the conqueror with full control and ownership.
Can I change the tax on the occupied Land?
The winner who has occupied the Land can set a new tax on it immediately, after that the common cooldown applies to this action. After paying the ransom, the original owner can also change the tax immediately.
What happens to the Troops on the occupied Land?
The troops remaining on the occupied Land are considered to be captured and cannot be withdrawn from the game until the ransom is paid. If the Land passes to the new Baron, the captured troops are disbanded (NFTs will destroyed).
What happens to the possessions on the loser’s land?

How often the Land can be attacked?
Any Baron can attack the same Land no more than once per hour. If the capture is successful, the same Baron can attack the same Land no earlier than 7 days later. Other Barons can attack this Land within their individual cooldown. As long as the Land is occupied, no one can attack it until ransom demand runs out.
How does «Bad Weather» debuff work?
Every day at midnight, a “bad weather” debuff is randomly applied on each Land. The debuff reduces the production of a certain resource on this Land by some % randomly. Every midnight, all the effects of bad weather are removed and new ones are applied.
What determines the depletion?
During resource mining, the total amount of each type of resource mined is taken into account in comparison with the last hour. If mined more, it is calculated by what percentage it was. This number is divided in half and in the next hour the min and max of mining for all NFTs of this type are reduced by this % (no more than 50%).
The reduction coefficient is always stored. Therefore, in the next hour, not a new one is taken, but an average with the past. If mined less than in the last hour, the average between 100% and the last coefficient is used.
How can I see resources with buff and debuff?
The players see resources with buff and debuff as a special icon on the resource in the game.
When can I attack another baron?
Wars between Barons will be available 30 days after the game start so that all Barons have time to prepare their Fortifications and troops.
Is there a chat room in the game?
The barons have a special chat room where they can communicate with each other, discuss policies, make alliances, etc. Chat is seen by all players, but only the Land owners can write to it.
Will there be any events/airdrops?
To make the community even more interested in active participation, we will allocate 100% of the initial resources, which will be contributed into the game’s economy, not in the sale form, but airdrop among all the early participants.
It is planned to hold numerous events and airdrops among the early members of our community. The most active and useful actions will be rewarded separately. There are quotas for Whitelist and early access, details will be announced in the news.
How will the project develop?
The plans already include the elections of the Kings by the Barons of each continent, declaring wars and trade between the continents (made by the King), trade-embargo and politics. The game will also gradually introduce new resources, troops, and mining structures, the ability to hire players as workers and soldiers.
