That is a really unfortunate situation, even with the fact that wars are postponed by a day if you have an active war, it seems it only can be pushed back 48 hours, and is not abled to be pushed back further. It seems that this wasnt taken into account, hopefully a developer is able to look into this situation and fix it. If it is happening now, it will happen more often in the future. Hopefully a dev investigates this and it is resolved asap!
It sucks when you’re on a 150 pop server and there isnt enough people on the entire server to fill both rosters completely for both wars, it is impossible, that isnt suppose to happen.
You should not be able to declare war against a company that you’re already at war with. There is a reason why this specific company has two different companies and trying to exploit to make a declaration of war. This company failed to declare war twice on two different territories in one day.
Wars get moved a day from the latest war time to avoid double decs from occurring, another company deced before this territory and it was moved a day later than the next war. This war was not moved like it should have been. If they were different factions its a different story, but all 3 decs were syndicate but one war didnt get pushed.
All the same faction, 2 of which are the SAME company, they made a burner company to bypass amazon’s limit to not dec a war in retaliation, it’s quite pathetic and hopefully its resolved asap
Dev blog pvp, war, and territories states “There is a 24 hour cooldown between Wars, and with the War windows, that means War happens at most every 2 days per territory. Players can also delay that through the influence race, which is now much more viable since we fixed the escalating influence issue. Overall, we think a War every 2 days is a good cadence, but please continue to let us know what you think. We are seeing War fatigue from Factions which funnel a group of players into every War. While we love this cooperation, having one company (or one company’s worth of players) own multiple territories should be very hard and is not what we are balancing War cooldowns toward.”
This does not appear to be a bug or exploit under these circumstances.
Hey! I am so glad you were able to join the forums, and I am grateful you are an active member of the new world forums starting for this post!
To get to the point, the devs admitted this is a bug (via chat logs awaiting an email of, will supply them asap). To add onto this, the company created a “dummy” company, as we are in war with them currently. They created a 2nd company to bypass the restriction (if you are in war with someone, you cant dec on them). They are bypassing the system, abusing game mechanics todo this. Whether or not you believe that part (that you quoted above), which doesnt go into detail in regards to the situation (which was deemed a bug by devs), you have to agree on the stance that creating a 2nd company, to bypass a restriction on decing on someone youre in war with is an abuse of game mechanics and not intended as they added the feature to prevent this. You agree that creating a 2nd company to dec on a territory, bypassing a restriction which doesnt allow you to dec on the company is a bug, correct?
But it simply isnt lmao, you realize there is a war cap a faction can have with another faction a day right? that is one war, other wars get pushed to the next day and so on. Make a faction can have is two wars a day (One against each of the other factions)
According the the new world team, that is not a clever use of “game mechanics” and is a bug (the decing 2 territories at once), and on top of that, using a separate company to bypass the decing restriction placed if you are at war with a territory is considered exploiting.
To say that there was a specific company created to do this is simply not true because both companies existed well in advance of this incident. There are instances of companies on larger population servers of companies reaching the player cap and second companies being created that are just proxies of them and this would fall under the same umbrella.
