Declaration of war
If there is someone you plan to attack a lot, and wish to have a longer war,
it is best to let the other party know, and declare war. You benefit from
the declatarion because you can focus your powers more easily on certain
targets. When attacking a country that you are at war with, the attack will
be more effective.
Every military, thievery, and with one exception every magical attack
produces a result that is 20% more than normal, provided that you succeed.
The only exception is the Earthquake spell, declaration of war does not
strengthen it.
Note, that only the result changes. You will conquer more land, you will
steal more gold etc. Declaration of war has no effect on defense or attack
points.
While at war, BOTH sides receive the above bonus, not just the country who
sent the declaration.
Decralation of war starts with a preparation period. Normally this lasts 24
rounds. During the preparation period, the country that declared war, cannot
start an attack, thus giving time for the victim to prepare. However, if the
victim does not need this time, it can immediately start an attack. When the
victim starts an attack, preparation time is over, and both sides can
attack.
For 49 rounds, following the end of the preparation period, the declaration
cannot be withdrawn. Only the country that declared war can withdraw it.
Declaring war counts as an attack, after which the country cannot go on
vacation for 12 hours.
You can declare war on a maximum of 3 countries, but an unlimited number of
countries can declar war on you. Countries you are at war with are shown in
red in the scoretable.
Only VIP members can declare war.
