Template:Node siege declaration

Node ostromok are declared directly by any player who completes the prerequisites for the siege initiation. During the declaration period, individuals or guilds can also register to attack.

• Node ostromok may only be declared within a primetime window for that particular server. This is likely to between 4pm and 9pm on that server's local time.
• Sieges are started via an item which is acquired through a quest that scales in difficulty with respect to the level of the Node.
• Once the item is brought to the Node and is activated, the declaration period begins and a countdown is initiated for players in the region to see.
  • This countdown runs for a number of days equal to the level of the Node being sieged.
  • Once the countdown is complete, the siege begins.

Sieges are started via an item which is acquired through a quest that scales in difficulty with respect to the level of the Node which is being targeted for the siege. Once the item is brought to the Node and is activated, the declaration period begins and a countdown is initiated for players in the region to see. This countdown runs for a number of days equal to the level of the Node being sieged. Once the countdown is complete, the siege begins. – Margaret Krohn

Siege declaration is very tough and will scale with the type of node being sieged:

• Sieging will require a similar amount of resources and time to what it took to develop the node being sieged.
• Siege equipment will need to be crafted based on the stage of the defending node.
• Mayors/governments allocate resources, taxes, and quests to help develop node defenses.

Once a siege is declared there is a period of time before the siege will commence, determined by the size of the node:

• Village (2 days)
• Town (3 days)
• City (4 days)
• Metropolis (5 days)

Many services are shut down during the siege declaration period, and instead are replaced by preparation quests or services for the siege.

• Once a siege is declared, players are prohibited from moving goods out of depositories within the node.

That incentivizes even further the necessity of players to contribute to the defense of a city. It also elevates the need for that city to politically gain allies among other nodes so that they can protect the collective goods of the citizens. – Steven Sharif

• During the siege virtually all services are suspended.
