What members need to know
Your faction determines which side of the Rare Soil War pool your warzone belongs to. Watch alliance announcements before Week 4 so you know the names and warzones that are allies versus eligible opponents.
👑
Leadership preparation
Once faction selection is known, start identifying likely opponents, friendly warzones, attendance expectations, and possible defense partners before the first declaration window opens.
🟩 BlackBar Gaming recommends
- Use Week 3 to build a simple opponent list rather than waiting for the first Rare Soil declaration screen.
- Keep faction diplomacy separate from City/Dig Site rules; being in the same faction does not automatically make every alliance a valid partner for every war.
🟥 Warning
- Faction grouping and the numeric Rare Soil ranking brackets can be subject to change. The live event screen shows eligible opponents and partners.
