Faction Wars

I was just wondering if someone could briefly explain how faction warring works? How to you defeat another faction and earn respect? I'd also appreciate even just a link to a faction guide or tutorial. I'd like to learn more about this aspect of TC. Thanks!

Im sure other people will love to fill in territory warring info.

Yeah, you really need to read the wiki first. Then if you have questions on specific details, come back here. But you must read the wiki first.

Territories is a different story.

Thanks y'all!

Faction Warfare (Chaining)

Factions war each other for respect, rank or dominance. Leaders and co-leaders can declare on any faction via the opposing faction info page. When in a war you will be able to view your faction warbase via the main faction page, compromising of information about enemy factions, members and the progress in the war. Ranked wars are those where a lower ranked faction declares war on a higher ranked one to take their rank (Contesting For/Defending Rank XX). The defending faction must be no further away than 25 ranks above the attacker. You will gain 50% more respect per hit on a ranked war than a non-ranked war. If the defending faction eventually wins the war, nothing happens in regards to ranks. If the attacker wins they will take the defending factions rank and the loser will drop rank by 1. To win a war you must gain an amount of respect equal to a 1/3 the respect of the faction with the lowest respect in the war. Where both factions are at 10,000 respect or over, the maximum respect to be gained is capped at 2500.

For example:

Faction A Respect	Faction B Respect	Respect to Win
2000	1500	500
5000	6000	1500
10000	25000	2500
40000	30000	2500

Note that the respect to win is on top of any respect your opponent gains whilst fighting back. If they gain 100 respect from attacking you, you will need to reach 100 respect higher than you would have. For example 2600 respect gained rather than 2500 for two large factions. A green and red bar will indicate who is winning and how close they are to claiming victory. Hovering over this will give you the percentage control each side has in the war. You are aiming to control 100%, allowing you to claim victory over your foe.

Claiming victory can be done by the leader or co-leader. A bonus hit can be used to take you over 100%, however another normal hit will be needed to trigger the ability to claim. This is what will allow you to improve your rank. Claiming victory will also give a respect bonus dependent on how much your opponent fights back. This can range from tens of respect, to tens of thousands!

To gain respect against another faction you must attack and hospitalise their members (attacking and mugging have no effect). Chaining is the main way that factions will war others.
