These rules are currently in beta testing and work hand in hand with the existing UoFG War Charter. For general information on the War Ministry and for rules for current War types please be sure to visit the charter linked above.

To Declare a Conquest, both warring guilds need to speak and agree on the Following:

1. What type of Conquest you will be fighting. Types include Mock, Skirmish, and Land.
   1. Skirmish is a type of Conquest where CP spoils are awarded to the victor. Spoils must be at least 50 CP in addition to Provision 3 which binds both entities until war terms have been signed. The minimum total of spoils is 100 CP. All other CP is awarded the same as per the War Charter.
   2. Land is a type of Conquest in which both entities fight over a plot of land that neither owns.
      1. A Land Conquest may only be fought once per entity per mun year. If you lose your Land Conquest it still counts towards your once a year total.
      2. Land obtained through Conquest does not count towards your max purchasable land plots.
      3. Plots placed under terms of a conquest must be between two warring entities. Meaning that the plot must fall in a logical place where both armies would meet. 2 entities on the western portion of the map may not conquest for a land plot on the eastern side.
      4. All War CP will be deducted from the cost of the land, and the winning entity will be required to pay the remaining dividend before they may acquire the land. All War CP means the mass accrual of CPs gathered by both warring entities. The winning entity will not be paid in CP, unless it is in excess of the Plot's cost at which point the winning entity will acquire all CP overages. The winning entity has 90 days from the end of the war to complete the purchase or they will lose the land. The land will not be added to the map or counted towards your CP bank until purchase is complete. The losing guild will receive the CP they earned.
   3. Mock is a type of conquest in which spoils are not required and land is not earned. Spoils may be allowed if both GCs agree on them. If they do not agree, default is no spoils. CP is awarded as usual under the UoFG War Charter.
2. Enhancer Usage is not a Default Term. Both sides must agree on Enhancers for them to be used. This will need to be compiled before terms of war are decided in full detail and will be binding upon receipt unless permission to overturn is granted by all warring Grand Commanders.
3. A combat storyline. The War Ministry requires that both sides have agreed to an actual storyline reasoning for why they are warring.
4. If this is a Land Conquest, then both sides need to agree on the plot of land in which they will fight. They will also need to add minor detail on 5 separate sections of this land (theaters) in which they will battle.
5. The signature with date for both warring GCs.

1. Victory is determined by who has won the most theaters of combat within a land. Typically the first guild to win three theaters of combat will win the war.

1. In a Conquest, a land plot is split up into 5 separate areas or Theaters. These are battlefields, much like in a real war it is spread out across an entire country or continent and winning in one set location is not going to win the war, just the battle; or Theater of Combat.
   1. If the set amount of warring soldiers per entity is less than 21, it will be split into 3 theaters.
2. The Roster Cap: The set number of Soldiers for a Conquest is determined as directly between the numbers represented in both guilds. If GuildA has 60 members and GuildB has 40 members, the Roster Cap for both entities will be set at 50.
3. Once the rosters have been capped, members will be split up into equal numbers spread across the five theaters. If the roster cap is 35, then the GC will need to assign 7 people to each theater.
   1. Members may not repeat. If a soldier has fought in a Theater already, they may not fight in another or separate Theater of Combat.
   2. A congruent number of members must reside within each Theater. If you have 25 Fighters, it must be 5 per Theater. If you had 24 it would be 5 per theater with the exception of one which would have 4.
   3. Theaters do not apply to proctoring. Proctoring is deemed OoC and may be performed by any member of any warring entity at any time and in any Theater. This means that if you already fought in a theater and it was lost or won, you are still allowed to proctor matches for the duration of the Conquest.
   4. You may only perform Support and Contracts in the Theater you are placed in.
4. Each Theater will be won once an entity has reached a set amount of Combat CP. This number is between 30 and 60 CP as determined during terms. In the case of a tie, a coin flip by the magistrate will determine the victor.
5. Once a Theater has been determined, Combat will commence in the Next Theater. Theaters will be numbered from 1-5 (1-3 for roster caps less than 21).
6. When making a War Roster, it will be split up into 5 or 3 Theaters and numbered.
   Example:
   GUILD War Roster
   
   Theater 1
   MikeSN - d60
   (CR Number)
   
   UoFGLover213 - d52
   (CR Number)
   
   Theater 2
   SN Of Someone - d58
   (CR Number)
   
   
7. Time constraints: Each Theater is only allowed 60 hours of combat. Once 60 hours has passed in each Theater, the battle will be called and the entity with the highest Combat CP for the Theater will take control of it. Tie breakers will go in this order, most CP total from combat and non-combat, and finally a coin flip between GCs.

1. All war terms will be done through mediation with the War Ministry. Each Entity is allowed to have three of its members be allowed in this term's mediation and on the war mailstring. Any more than three is prohibited.
2. Any and all terms need to meet UoFG Charters. They must be agreed on by both GCs and not be in charter violation as deemed by the War's Magistrate.
3. Should mediation time between both entities and the Magistrate fall upon conflicting schedules, both entities may opt to do the terms signing through mail. This is not required, and may be asked for in lieu of a meeting should the entities involved wish it.

1. The use of Healers is set to Yes.
   The use of Assassins is set to Yes.
   The use of Mages - Battle and Support is set to Yes.
   Any of the above items may be changed at the discretion of BOTH Entity Commanders.
2. Changes to any of the above terms are not authorized in betrayal of the written charters. All Default terms maintain their legal writing.
3. If Assassins are used then each entity receives seven (1) free Assassins Contract per Theater. Contracts will be DAs. All War Contracts may only be used for the specific war in question and against only warring factions.
   1. Entities may not place Peacetime contracts on any UoFG member who is involved in a war. This goes into effect the moment that the war terms are formally agreed upon and ends the moment the war is formally concluded.
      1. Peacetime contracts are valid during a war, however they are not valid within war rooms. Peacetime contracts may not be performed in war rooms. Wartime contracts may not be conducted outside of war rooms.
      2. You may not purchase additional contracts for a Conquest.
4. In Terms of AAs, CAs, and DAs – Matches take precedence.
   1. A combatant may not be lured into a war room to fight a match and have an attempt performed on them in lieu of the match.
   2. Any who come claiming to be support for the combatant during proposed match may also not be targeted for an Attempt.
      1. A Combatant may not have an Attempt on them during a match.
5. Standard Default with Enhancers is that they may be loaned by other entities. Two warring Entities may chose to disallow this. Assassin Enhancer use is default, if Enhancers are allowed per terms. Enhancers are a Variable Term in a Conquest.
