General Misdemeanors

Below are the general misdemeanors which can get you infractions within the game.

Cheating
The most severe misdemeanor. Nothing can justify you cheating within Clans. This includes the adding of traps and clan items that you do not have, claiming to own a territory that is not yours, adding more funds to your Clan Account, etc. Anyone of those thought to be cheating at any point shall be investigated and, if proven guilty, be punished.

Flaming and Baiting
No in-game situation can justify the attacking and flaming of other players. Even if debates are heated, you can and will be punished for this misdemeanor.

Spamming
Pointless posts come into play, here. Speaking in all caps, one word posts, picture-only posts, and such is not allowed.

Poor Sportsmanship
Blatantly breaking the rules of the game just because something doesn't go your way, speaking rudely to others after a victory/loss, and all things that fall under that category is unacceptable. This can result in infraction and warning.

Territory Glossary

Territory is a piece of land that can be owned by a Clan.

Territory Releases are events where new pieces of territory are released to the clan scene. These territories are, when first released, always uninhabited by others. However, there will be enemies and threats there to defeat in order to secure it.

To secure a Territory, one must go through every threat in each of the areas. The number of areas that

Territories have six different span rankings. These rankings show how large the territory is.

• S Class: Massive
  Houses 26 - 35 areas needing to be secured.
  
  
• A Class: Huge
  Houses 19-25 areas needing to be secured.
  
  
• B Class: Large
  Houses 13 - 18 areas needing to be secured.
  
  
• C Class: Average
  Houses 7 - 12 areas needing to be secured.
  
  
• D Class: Small
  Houses 4 - 6 areas needing to be secured.

Clan Balance
The money that your Clan has to sustain itself. Clan Balances are increased in a number of ways, which you will find below.

Enemy Defeat
The money you gain from defeating an enemy during warfare. The amount for winning is $5,000, which goes towards your clan.

Mine Funds
Mining for different types of minerals that can be sold for high prices in the market can also help. The six minerals one can mine for includes Coal, Copper, Silver, Gold, Diamond and Platinum.

Territory Value
A territory's value refers to how much income the territory will bring to a clan during the Fiscal Events. All territories that the clan owns is tallied up in their event.

Hotspots
A territory's Hotspot is where the income will double for two months. The hotspots are reached by attempting to mine them. If a hotspot is active, the defeat of one's stationed players/military in the territory will give the enemy twice the winnings. These hotspots wear off after two months, and will not be capable of being for another month.

Fiscal Boomer
A territory has two or more hotspots that have been reached. Each multiplicative is added together, meaning that two hotspots allows for 4 times the income, three allows 6 times the income, and so on.

Territory Accessories
These are the accessories one can have with their clan. These accessories are not usable outside of the Clans game. Go to the Clan Market Thread to buy your accessories.

Dormant Healer
To be applied before entering the territory. When a Summon's HP dwindles below 50.00%, half of its current HP will be healed. This accessory is usable for every battle throughout the territory, but is used up once one wins/loses the territory or falls back.

Dormant Humdifier
To be applied before entering the territory. When a Summon's HP dwindles below 50.00%, all statuses will be healed.

Reaction Plate

Drawing Incense
To be used when in an area. Draws threats in from another area into the one you are in.

Warding Incense

Reveal Incense
To be used when in an area. All threats that are "hidden" will be revealed.

Calming Incense
To be used when in an area. All threats in the area will be checked. If they pass the check, those threats will not bother the user and other non-threats in the area, creating a Pseudo Peaceful danger level.

Threats
The enemies or traps within an area that impede on its compromising. All of the threats of an area must be nullified before it can be considered to be conquered.

Danger Levels
How hostile the sentient threats in a certain area of an uninhabited territory is. The higher the danger levels are, the more likely you are to face dangerous confrontation.

• Peaceful = 0% Chance
  
• Low = 20% Chance
  
• Medium = 40% Chance
  
• High = 60% Chance
  
• Critical = 80% Chance

Trap Reactivity
How reactive the traps (or non-sentient threats) are in a certain area of an uninhabited territory is. The higher the reactivity, the more likely it is that the traps will spring.

• Non-Reactive = 0% Chance
  
• Minimally = 10% Chance
  
• Moderately = 30% Chance
  
• Highly = 50% Chance
  

Hidden Threats
Sentient or Non-Sentient threats that are not revealed publicly. Only after being activated or through the use of a Reveal Incense will it be revealed.

Sentient Threats
Threats that one must engage in battle with a Summon. This threat can be lured away by certain accessories and also put into a state of retreat.

Non-Sentient Threats
Threats that one must try to mine out or destroy through some means. These cannot be lured away or put into a state of retreat, but do not have to be battled. They deal effects that can have before or after-battle effects.

Threat Strength
The strength levels of sentient threats within an area. The strength levels vary on the type of threat within the vicinity. The base refers to the total that their added up stats will be. Every threat has the same formula for stats as Summons do. Every sentient threat will also have one of the Elemental Attributes, giving them its weaknesses and resistances.

• Grunt Level = 400 Base
  
• Middle Level = 500 Base
  
• High Level = 600 Base
  
• Mega Level = 700 Base

Uninhabited Territory

To claim uninhabited territory, one must advance through the territory's areas. When advancing, all threats within the area must be nullified; with Sentient threats having been defeated in battle, and Non-Sentient threats being destroyed/nullified.

The danger levels of the areas differ. Rolling 3 100-sided die, you will have a majority on if you are confronted by dangerous threats. Looking to this section will help you learn the danger levels.

If you are defeated in an area, you may call for reinforcements within an area. If the reinforcements do not answer for two day's time, the area will become insecure and incapable of being entered by the losing clan's members for 24 hours. Other clans can come in and attempt at taking the area.

Defeating the threats of each area gives rewards that are able to be claimed after the territory has been conquered.

When encountering traps, one can attempt to mine/salvage them if they are deactivated. Attempting to do this on active traps will set their reactivity to 100%.

Two or more clans can be inside of the territory at once. Once all areas have been cleared, the territory will be set as an Insecure State; where both sides are capable of attempting to overtake the other. When in an Insecure State, both sides split the income. However, when mining, the clan is capable of finding minerals/hotspots for themselves.

To win over the territory from an Insecure State, one must defeat all of the opposing clan's lower members, defeat the leader(s), or a clan must surrender the territory.

Inhabited Territory

To claim an inhabited territory, one must follow the same steps as the Insecure State condition.

However, inhabited territory must be rolled to see if one can claim it. If there are no militarized threats, one will have a 50% chance of capturing the area. If there are militarized threats, upon their defeat/destruction, the area be automatically claimed.

Inhabited territories can be mined for minerals. These minerals are shown in this post. All inhabited territories have a 5/100, or 5% chance, to gain a hotspot. On rare occasions, there may be Mines of Interest; which are places one can mine to gain better rewards.

Enemies can be militarized for the protection of a Clan's territory. To gain these enemies, one must have a Militarizer. The number of enemies available for Massive Territories is 25, Huge Territories have 20, Large Territories have 15, while Average, Small, and Minuscule Territories have 10 available.

One can also set traps, which are capable of being crafted from minerals that are mined.

When a territory is first conquered, it will be closed to all attempts of invasion for an entire week.
