CONQUEST: a Discord game of servers against servers

Every server that joins becomes a faction on the same world. Players pledge to their server, gather and grow together, and choose when to go to war. Seasons run for months, and whoever holds the most land at the end is crowned champion.

The CONQUEST map: three factions with their land outlined, a lake, forest, a farm, a logging camp, a quarry and an iron mine

How a season plays

1. Gather: wheat, wood, stone, iron

Start short timed jobs and every pledged player feeds the same stockpile: /farm for wheat, /chop for wood, /mine for stone and /extract for iron (or start them on the game screen). What you gather goes into your server's shared stockpile, never your own, and nothing is lost when you log off. The land has four kinds of resource, each from its own building: a farm, a logging camp, a quarry and an iron mine.

2. Grow: land, troops, a bigger base

Spend what you gather to claim land tile by tile and to train troops (server administrators do this with /conquest expand and /conquest train). As your territory grows your base levels up, through ten looks from a wooden palisade camp to a grand castle with a gold-roofed keep, and so does the number of players who can pledge to it.

3. Hold: take the farms and mines

Send a convoy to a farm, logging camp, quarry or iron mine and it stays until called home. A node you hold makes every job of its kind pay more: by default a farm gives 25% more wheat.

4. Fight: war is a decision

An attack gives your own players 15 minutes to veto it, so a faction never goes to war by accident. Armies then march for hours in plain sight, and a lost fight can cost land, which becomes free for anyone to claim.

The map is one shared world of grass, forest, lakes and rivers, new for every season. Rivers, lakes and trees are obstacles, so a faction has to expand around them.

Start your server's faction

  1. Add the Sigil bot to your Discord server and run /setup. (Add the bot.)
  2. A server joins CONQUEST, and keeps playing, while its owner or one of its administrators is a Sigil Supporter. An administrator runs /conquest enroll with a faction name and a channel for the faction's news.
  3. Everyone else pledges to their server's faction with /conquest pledge (or from the CONQUEST page) and plays for free. You can be in many servers but fight for only one. A server needs enough pledged players before it takes the field.
  4. Start jobs and watch the map. /conquest status shows where you stand from inside Discord.

Questions

Is CONQUEST free?
Yes for players: anyone can pledge to their server's faction and play for free. A server joins, and keeps playing, while its owner or an administrator is a Sigil Supporter. See the plans.
Do I have to be online all the time?
No. Jobs and marches run on timers, and what you gather waits in the stockpile. You choose when to check in.
How long is a season?
Months. When it ends, whoever holds the most land is crowned champion, and the next season is played on a new world.
Can an attack be stopped?
Yes, by the attacker's own players: they have 15 minutes to veto it before the army marches.
What does Sigil see?
The game only uses what you do in it. Signing in asks Discord for the names of the servers you are in, and nothing else about them. See the privacy page for exactly what is kept.
