SEASON 1 · WAR & LEADERSHIP

Cross-Warzone City Declarations

Week 4+ Wednesday/Saturday City war operations.

ScopeModern Serum rollout

Quick read

Cross-warzone declaration days turn territory planning into scheduled operations. A declaration should already include connection, staging, capture and post-capture defense plans.

Facts

  • Check the live schedule for declaration days; some Season 1 schedules list Wednesday and Saturday.
  • Check the remaining City declarations and Stronghold captures separately before assigning targets.
  • A controlled Stronghold must directly connect to the target City.
  • After declaring on a City, use its live event timer to plan the capture rather than assuming a fixed duration.

BlackBar Gaming recommends

  • Confirm the live timer, connection and declaration count before pressing declare.
  • Record the exact protection countdown immediately after capture.

Watch out

  • Use the live declaration timer to plan your next declaration.
DETAILED GUIDE

How it works

Requirements

Requirements can include:

  • alliance must already have a foreign territorial foothold;
  • a controlled Military Stronghold must directly connect to the target City;
  • R4+ / management handles declaration;
  • Use the target City’s countdown to plan how long you have to complete the capture after declaring.

Limits

Check these Expedition rules in your active event before declaring:

  • Check how many City declarations remain for your alliance on this eligible day.
  • Check the separate Military Stronghold capture limit before planning multiple attacks.
  • Confirm the holding limit for Cities your alliance controls in other warzones.

Before planning your route, check how much City capacity remains.

  • Check the home-warzone, foreign-warzone and total City limits in the active City List.

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 a City declaration left.
  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.
