◈ Faction War ◈ Declaration & Engagement System ◈
</div>The '''Faction War''' system allows eligible factions to formally declare war on each other during a round. Wars are structured - they have a lead-up, a duration, and an end. They are not free-for-all deathmatches. They are organized conflicts with rules, commands, and consequences.

== War-Capable Factions ==
Only the following factions may declare or receive war declarations:
{| class="wikitable" style="background:#141414; color:#d0d0d0; border:1px solid #aa3333; width:60%;"
! style="background:#1a0a0a; color:#dd6666; padding:6px;" |Faction
|-
|[[New California Republic|New California Republic (NCR)]]
|-
|[[Brotherhood of Steel]]
|-
|[[Caesar's Legion]]
|-
|[[Townsfolk]]
|-
|[[Outlaws|Outlaws (Player Raiders)]]
|}
'''Note:''' Rangers are aliased to NCR - a war declaration against NCR includes Rangers automatically.

! style="background:#1a0a0a; color:#dd6666; padding:6px;" |Description
|-
| style="color:#dd6666; font-weight:bold;" |Round-Start Cooldown
|'''30 minutes'''
|War declarations are locked for the first 30 minutes of every round. This gives factions time to set up, staff their positions, and establish themselves before conflict begins.
|-
|'''Pending Phase'''
|'''5 minutes'''
|After a war is declared, both sides have a 5-minute preparation window. During this phase, members of either faction may use '''/warjoin''' to opt into the conflict. Once the pending phase ends, the war goes active.
|-
|'''Active War'''
|'''30 minutes'''
|Combat is authorized between the warring factions. The war runs for a maximum of 30 minutes before an automatic ceasefire is triggered.
|-
|'''Post-War Cooldown'''
|'''10 minutes'''
|After a war ends (by ceasefire or timeout), both factions enter a 10-minute cooldown before they can declare war on anyone again.

* '''One war per faction at a time''' - a faction cannot be involved in two simultaneous wars.
* '''Only the highest-ranking online member''' may declare war or issue a ceasefire. Rank is determined by job weight.
* '''Casus belli is mandatory''' - you must state a reason for war, and it must be at least 5 words.
* '''Auto-ceasefire''' triggers after 30 minutes of active combat regardless of the battlefield situation.
* Wars are '''broadcast server-wide''' - all players see war declarations, pending phases, and ceasefires.
