# Tribal Conflicts
**, and switches to **Tribal Conflict · Now** while the rounds are running.
7. Each round, **click a Stronghold** on the battlefield to open the action bar. Set how much **Valor** to spend with the Valor slider/input, then click **ATTACK** (an enemy or neutral Stronghold), **DEFEND** (your Tribe's Stronghold), or **DO NOTHING** to save Valor for later rounds. You can only act on **one** Stronghold per round — submitting another action in the same round **overwrites** your previous one. See [#battle](#battle). Rounds and Valor mechanics are in [#gameplay](#gameplay).
8. After all rounds resolve, the Tribe holding the most Strongholds wins and rewards (Influence, Reputation, chests and items) are credited automatically. See [#rewards-and-penalties](#rewards-and-penalties).
## Registration
Any player who has a **Representing Land** or **a pledged Hero** can register for a Tribal Conflict.\
Registration opens 3 days before and closes 10 minutes before the Tribal Conflict starts.
When registering, the Representing Land will be locked and cannot be changed until the Tribal Conflict is over. Land owner enters the conflict on the side of the Tribe their representing Land belongs to. Hero owners enter the conflict on the side of the Tribe of the Representing Land they pledged to. When registered, pledges cannot be broken until the Tribal Conflict is over.
#### Registration Fee & Refund Policy
**Registration:** Fee depending on TATO price and type of representation (Province/Estate/Hero)\
**Unregister:** 50% of Entry Fee will be refunded.\
**No-Show:** If you register, but miss the Ready-Check or are inactive during the game, **nothing** will be refunded.
{% hint style="warning" %} **Important:** **The Conflict will initiate a Ready-Check 3 min before the battle starts.**\
\
Missing to confirm your attendance will get you **kicked out** before the Conflict starts and you will not be able to participate.\
\
Players who join the battle and are then absent (or not spending min. 50% their Valor) will be branded as **Deserters**, won't get any rewards and will potentially be banned to participate in future conflicts.
{% endhint %}
## Gameplay
Once registration is closed, every Tribe receives **100,000 Valor** points, divided by the participants, where Hero owners get factor 1, Estate Representatives factor 2 and Province Representatives factor 3.
{% hint style="info" %}
Example if 175 players join for one faction:
* 12 Province Owners = 1,240 Valor each
* 43 Estate Owners = 826 Valor each
* 120 Hero Owners = 413 Valor each
{% endhint %}
The players fight over 10 strategic Strongholds at the border of the Divide.
Initially each Tribe holds **three Strongholds** while one - the Temple of Axomamma - is neutral.
Initially every Stronghold has **1,000 Points** except for the neutral one, which has **1 Point**.\
The maximum points a Stronghold can have is 5,000.
#### Battle
Players can use Valor to **attack** enemy strongholds (deduct points) or to **defend** their own Strongholds (add points). Valor used to defend counts more, with the bonus increasing the longer the battle goes (+50% in the first round and additional 5% per round, capped at +100%).
The maximum points a Stronghold can have is 5,000.
If a Strongholds’ defense is broken (Points <= 0) it will change to the Tribe of the last attacker who broke the defense and is reset to 1,000 points. If two Tribes attack the same Stronghold in a round, the Tribe who spent more Valor on the attack takes over.
{% hint style="info" %}
If a Tribe loses **all** Strongholds, they are **eliminated** from the conflict and all their remaining Valor is drained. They can still watch the rest of the conflict resolve.
{% endhint %}
The game is played over **7-15 rounds** (alternating), each running for **60-90 seconds**.
Within a round, players can set an action:
* **Attack** a Stronghold with X Valor (if the player has Valor left)
* **Defend** a Stronghold with X Valor (if the player has Valor left)
* Do nothing and **preserve Valor**
It is important for **players to coordinate their actions** to avoid wasting Valor as well as anticipate the other Tribes actions and set countermeasures.
After all rounds are over, the game ends and whichever Tribe holds the most Strongholds wins. If it is a tie, the higher number of total points on the Strongholds decides.
\*Estates get double and Provinces tripple that amount.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Influence per Conflict is capped per player**, based on how you represent your Tribe: **4,800** (Province), **3,200** (Estate) or **1,600** (Hero). The cap is applied before any [Banner Flag](/pawtato-land/gameplay/tools/miscellaneous-tools.md) bonus, so a Banner Flag still boosts your Influence on top of the cap.
{% endhint %}
## Special Rules
{% hint style="info" %}
These rules may change in future conflicts to keep a changing meta which prompts new strategies.
{% endhint %}
#### Tribe General
The Player with the most pledgers will be the **General for his Tribe** in this Battle and receive a special privilege. He can also hand over the role to another Player if wanted. If the General stays **inactive** (submits no actions or marks) during the **first three rounds**, the role is automatically reassigned to the next Player with the most pledgers.
The General **sees currently allocated Valor** on all Strongholds in real-time and can **mark Strongholds** to signal the Tribe where to attack or defend.
The General can use **Divine Intervention** **once** per game, where he needs to choose one of three options:
* **Invulnerability**: makes one owned Stronghold invulnerable for the round
* ***Wrath:*** deals 6,666 damage to a selected enemy Stronghold
* **Reflection:** mirrors all damage taken by the selected Stronghold in this round to all enemy Strongholds (distributed evenly)
The General can appoint up to **three Lieutanants**, which can also see all currently allocated Valor in real-time.
#### Temple of Axomamma
* Valor used to defend the Temple of Axomamma only counts once (instead of double).
* The Temple of Axomamma **loses 1,000 points each round** automatically.
* The Tribe currently holding the Temple of Axomamma gain **1,000 points on each of their other Strongholds each round**.
#### Preparations
During the registration period, players can use resources to unlock certain advantages for the upcoming Conflict. Preparations are a **team effort** (similar to Divine Callings), so the needed resources can be pooled by all registered participants.
To keep funding a tribe-wide effort, each player can contribute at most **25% of a Preparation's goal** — no single player can unlock a Preparation on their own. The contribution window shows how much of your allowance remains.
{% hint style="info" %}
If a Player contributes **5%** or more of the amount needed to unlock a Preparation, they earn **Reputation** once that Preparation activates:
* Most Preparations grant **+50** [Reputation](/pawtato-land/gameplay/the-world/reputation.md) with your Tribe's faction.
* **Decay** instead grants **+100** with **Supay** and **−100** with the **Temple of Axomamma**.
The contribution window previews the exact Reputation gain (and loss) before you donate.
{% endhint %}
Only up to **3 Preparations** can be activated for a Conflict. These need to be unlocked **before the start of the Conflict** and cannot be changed for the remainder of it. The Tribe has to choose which Preparations best fit their strategy:
* **Fortified Walls (**
