MineColony Guards each count as one life. * **Team Selection:** Players who are members of both warring teams can now choose which side to join using `/wnt choosewarside attacker` or `/wnt choosewarside defender`. * **War Declarations:** Engaging war system with clear notifications and player choices, as shown in the war declaration interface. ![War Declaration Interface](declarewar.png) * **War Actions / Raid Actions:** * **War Actions:** Breaking and placing blocks in enemy colonies under war, without levitation side-effects. * **Raid Actions:** Only entity damage; blocks remain protected. * **Raids:** Steal tax revenue directly with configurable durations, transfer rates, and cooldowns. * **Death Handling & Spectator Mode:** Participants become spectators when out of lives; Last-Life inventories are saved and restored after war end. * **Disconnect Handling:** Wars/raids automatically pause individual lives but continue globally. ### War Process 1. **Declare War:** `/wnt wagewar ""` initiates a join phase (`/wnt joinwar` or opt out). 2. **Join Phase:** Allies and defending officers auto-join during the prep window. 3. **Active War:** Defaults to 2-hour duration; each player has 5 lives. 4. **Objectives:** Eliminate enemy lives; spectators remain until the war concludes. 5. **Sue Peace:** Propose with `/wnt peace whitepeace` or `/wnt peace reparations `; requires defender acceptance. 6. **Resolution:** Configurable in the mod's config: * **Total Victory**: All opponents eliminated. * **Strategic Victory**: Based on normalized lives if time expires. * **Stalemate**: Near-equal strengths; optional penalties. * **Vassalization**: Winners can establish vassal relationships with the losing colony. A comprehensive set of war and admin commands is available, as shown here: ![War and Admin Commands](infocmd.png) *** ## Vassalization System * **Establish Hierarchy:** Create a network of vassals who pay tribute to their overlord colony. * **Tribute System:** Vassal colonies automatically pay a percentage of their tax income to their overlord colony. * **Vassalization Commands:** * `/wnt vassalize ""` - Offer vassalization to another colony * `/wnt vassalaccept ` - Accept a vassalization proposal * `/wnt vassaldecline ` - Decline a vassalization proposal * `/wnt revoke ` - Revoke a vassalization relationship * `/wnt vassals` - List your vassals with tribute details * **Status Display:** Check your colony's vassalization status at any time. ![Independent Colony Status](vassalhas.png) ![Vassal Colony Status](vassalis.png) * **Tax Integration:** The tax system automatically includes vassal tribute payments in tax reports. ![Tax Report with Vassal Tribute](tax_report.png) *** ## PvP Arena Duels * **Arena Setup:** Define arena corners with `/pvparena p1` and `/pvparena p2`. * **Duel Challenges:** Initiate with `/pvp`, with clickable accept/decline buttons. * **Spectator Mode:** Join (`/pvp spectate [player]`) or exit (`/pvp spectate stop`). * **Inventory Management:** Inventories and armor saved/cleared during duels and restored afterward. *** ## Version 3.2: ### Better GUI: * New Scroll Texture for the Tax Management GUI

Colony Auto-Abandonment & Claiming System

NEW FEATURE: Automatic Colony Abandonment - Colonies automatically become abandoned after a configurable period of owner/officer inactivity (default: 2 weeks).

- Colony Claiming Raids: Abandoned colonies can be claimed by eligible players using `/wnt claimcolony <colony>`, triggering a 5-minute raid where:

- All citizens become hostile militia with resistance effects

- Mercenaries spawn if fewer than 5 citizens/guards exist

- Victory conditions: Kill ALL defenders to win - timer expiration results in defender victory

- Successful claimers automatically become Officers of the colony

- Offline Notifications: Players receive notifications when rejoining if their colony was abandoned or claimed while offline.

- Admin Commands: `/wnt forceabandon <colony>` for manual colony abandonment.

- Smart Entry Messages: Players entering abandoned colonies see claimability status and eligibility requirements.

Configuration Options:

- `AutoAbandonmentEnabled` (default: true)

- `ColonyInactivityDays` (default: 14)

- `ClaimingRaidDurationMinutes` (default: 5)

- Conflict Resolution: Automatic handling of conflicting configuration values.

Configuration Options:

- `EnableRaidBuildingRequirements` / `EnableWarBuildingRequirements`

- Priority-Based Selection: Rewards distributed in order: Colony Owner > Officers > Any Participant > Fallback to Owner.

- Comprehensive Participant Handling: ALL losing participants have their balance deducted when wars are lost.

- Multi-Economy Support: Full compatibility with SDMShop, inventory-based currency, and colony tax systems.

- Participant-Only Messaging: War economy transactions now only visible to war participants (no server-wide spam).
