🟩 BlackBar Gaming recommends
- Confirm remaining Dig Site captures and City declarations.
- check adjacency and protection timers.
- Check the current City Clash or Rare Soil War schedule.
- Confirm declaration targets and defense partners.
- Confirm Furnace location before Preparation.
- Assign rally leaders, capture teams, reinforcements, and communication roles before the event.
- If a live event screen differs from this handbook, follow the live event screen.
Before Declaration: compare eligible opponents, Rare Soil value, attendance, partner risk, and expected defense strength.
Before Invitation closes: confirm defense partners and who is responsible for communicating with them.
Before Preparation: finalize Furnace geometry using the positioning checklist, then lock the Warlord Missile plan, rally leaders, garrison plan, member roles, and rebuild responsibility.
Before War: publish one clear attack or defense order so members know exactly where their strongest squad belongs.
During War: keep one person calling rallies/reinforcements and one person watching the Furnace objective and timer.
After War: record the result, soil change, missile outcome, attendance problems, and what should change next round.
🟥 Warning
- If the live event screen shows a different schedule, eligibility rule, or calculation, follow it.
Waiting: check the Alliance qualified, the Furnace exists, the current Ranking Group, the attack/defense role, and Furnace durability.
Declaration: compare eligible targets, competing declarations, attendance, and defense-partner risk. Remember that displayed Rare Soil is a stage snapshot, not guaranteed live holdings.
Invitation: if defending, pre-select eligible assistance options. If your Alliance is invited to assist, make sure enough R4+ voters are available before the stage closes.
Prep: participants lock. Confirm rally leaders, Furnace garrison/replacement order, assisting reinforcements, War Status watcher, communications, and the Warlord Missile plan.
Warlord: protect the Warlord during launch preparation and account for the Shield being removed until the skill is successfully cast.
War: keep the main objective on Furnace durability. Track War Score separately from attacker contribution so kill chasing does not cost the objective.
