War Mechanics

Starting or joining a war

• Factions have a chance each month to start or join a war.
• This chanced is based on their current war exhaustion.
• The more exhaustion they have the less likely they start or join a war.
• If they decide to enter war state they pick a random faction that is neighbouring them.
• If this faction is already in a war they join on the opponent side.
• If this faction is not at war yet they start a new war.

Ending a war

• Factions have a chance each month to leave a war.
• This chanced is based on their current war exhaustion.
• The more exhaustion they have the more likely they leave a war.
• If all faction on one side left the war, it ends.

Resources

• Each month Factions get rewarded offensive and defensive resources based on the tags of the planets they hold.

Offence:

• planet_industry_poor = -1
• planet_industry_mining = 1
• planet_industry_rich = 2
• planet_industry_manufacturing = 3
• planet_industry_research = 4
• planet_other_starleague = 5

Defence:

• planet_pop_none = -1
• planet_pop_small = 1
• planet_pop_medium = 2
• planet_industry_aquaculture = 3
• planet_industry_agriculture = 3
• planet_pop_large = 4
• planet_other_hub = 5
• planet_other_megacity = 6
• planet_other_capital = 7

Attacking a planet

• Each day Factions start an attack on one or more planets they see as valuable.
• A valuable planet is determined by the resources it has + how many own planets border him.
• Both factions take up to 100 resources from their regarding pool(offence or defence) and make a random roll on that.
• If the attacker wins he shifts the control percentage by the number he rolled higher then the defender.
• If a player does a mission for a faction on a planet he shifts the control by the percentgae set in the settings for that faction.
• Factions that like the player will offer priority missions going to the current important planets.

Switching owner

• When a faction has more control over a planet then its current owner and also more then the percentage set in the settings the planet will flip over to that faction.

Difficulty

• Planets on the border have a higher difficulty then the ones inland
• Only border systems send you against another faction, inland contracts only let you deal with lcoals and pirates.
