Cross-Warzone City Declarations

Requirements

Current/maintained evidence supports:

• alliance must already have a foreign territorial foothold;
• a controlled Military Stronghold must directly connect to the target City;
• R4+ / management handles declaration;
• the alliance has up to 1 hour after declaration to complete the City capture.

Limits

High-confidence current Expedition research:

• 2 City declarations per eligible day;
• 2 Military Stronghold captures are a separate daily limit;
• cross-warzone controlled Cities share a cap of 4.

Maintained-current complete City model:

• 4 home Cities + 4 foreign Cities = 8 total.

Scheduling

The City-protection rule now matters more than ever:

• protection ends at 12:00 server time;
• after the six-full-day period, Warzone Declaration pushes the endpoint to the next eligible Wednesday/Saturday declaration day.

This means Week 4 leadership should maintain a protection calendar, not a list of approximate capture dates.

Declaration-day leadership checklist

Before declaring:

1. Confirm Stronghold connection.
2. Confirm City is actually attackable on the live timer.
3. Confirm the alliance has not consumed both daily declarations.
4. Check whether another City siege is already active.
5. Pre-position active attackers.
6. Confirm hospital/troop recovery readiness.
7. Plan what happens if the City is captured — route, protection, defense and holding-cap implications.

After capture:

1. Record the exact live protection countdown.
2. Check the new Stronghold holding capacity.
3. Confirm whether the City improves the route toward Lv6 / Capitol.
4. Prepare defense/diplomacy before the next declaration window.
