The only way to take over the fort owned by another town is by attacking it. For this a town's counselor of the attacking town goes to the fort and calls for a battle. Over the next 24 hours players from the attacking and defending towns should go to the fort to attack or defend the fort.
Calling a fort battle
Only a town's Counselor or Founder can call a fort battle. He/she has to go to the fort to do so. An attack costs $1500 on a small fort, $5000 on a medium fort and $10000 on a large fort. The money is taken from the Town Treasury of the attacking town. The battle takes place 24 hours after the hatchet is dug up.
Join a fort battle
To take part in the fort battle you have to go to the fort within 24 hours after the battle is called. Players from the attacking town can only take part as attacker, players of the defending town may only take part as defenders. Players that are not a member of a town that is allied with the fort may join either the attacking or defending side. As soon as a fort is under attack a report is sent to all affected players. You can see what battles have been called in the fort overview, which also stores a record of recent battles.
In the fort battle
In a battle defenders and attackers are standing across from each other. It's the attackers goal to capture the flag and to hold it for 5 rounds or to beat all defenders. The defenders try to hold the fort for 55 rounds or to beat all attackers.
Sectors and fields
On the map are sectors and fields. Each field can hold exactly one player. In each sector there may only be players from one battle side, either attackers or defenders. Per round each player can shoot once and move once. They can move into an adjacent sector as long as there is no player from the other team and as long as there are still open fields in the sector. It is not possible to move into a diagonal sector. Some sectors have special features, or add or remove skill bonuses.
Shooting
Each player shoots automatically at the closest enemy that they can see. It is not possible to shoot at an enemy that doesn't meet these requirements. If you have a neighbouring sector as target sector you automatically shoot at the closest opponent in this sector. It is not possible to shoot at a player from your own team.
Visibility
The grey area shows which fields you can not shoot at. You can still see players and movements in grey areas.
Distance
The closer your character is to the person they shoot at, the better the chances are to land a hit. Distance is calculated by fields, sectors don't matter. The distance has no effect on the damage amount.
Damage
The damage done per hit depends just on the gun you carry. A weapon deals the shown damage, but not more than 1/3 of the persons maximum health points. A player with a maximum of 300 health points can not be dealt more than 100 points of damage per shot. Just a gun causes damage. A dueling weapon has no influence at all in a fort battle, except for any skill bonuses that they may provide.
Participation
You don't have to be online to take part in the battle. Having passed out in a duel does not keep you from joining a fort battle. However, your character has to be located at the fort in order to take part. If you are not online the player acts like you told him to. They try to reach their target position. If you haven't chosen a target when on the attacking side, you automatically charge towards the flag zone. However, if you don't set a target when on the defensive side, the player does not move anywhere. You can also take over your player's movements during the battle, but you must sign up for the battle before it starts. You may not sign up if the battle has already started.
