One of the biggest known issues in SiegeWar, is that players can win sieges in a way which avoids a fair fight, by logging on at unusual times, in order to rack up banner control points without opposition.
For example, players might log on in the middle of the night during weekends (when others are asleep), or in the daytime during the week (when others have jobs or school).
There have been reports of people skipping school to do this, which is not good!
In theory, the existing feature of the battle session scheduler can mitigate this issue, but in practice, few public-server owners are willing to disadvantage their cross-timezone players in the way that would be required.
Solution
Feature: Daily Player Battle Session Limits
How it works:
Each player can fully participate in a maximum of 5 battle sessions per day on weekend-days, and 2 per day on week-days.
If this limit is exceeded, the player can still enter siege-zones and kill enemy players, but they cannot gain battle points.
'per day' means within 24 hours from the player's own perspective.
New Configs will have the same session times for weekdays and weekends, you might want to replace your weekday times with the same times in your weekend list.
Changes to Peaceful-Town Occupation
New Mechanic Summary
The rules are simpler.
The messaging is better.
There is a better audit trail.
i.e. if a problem with an individual occupation is reported by a player, then server staff will have much more information available, to find out exactly what happened.
New Mechanic Detail
The potentially-subverting power-effect felt by each peaceful town is termed Towny-Influence
For a town to generate Towny-Influence in its local area, the town must be:
Not ruined.
Not peaceful.
In a nation or occupied (occupied towns generate Towny-Influence for the occupier).
Not sieged.
Peaceful occupation is executed MANUALLY, via. the following player actions:
Subvert Town:
As a general, plant a non-white banner outside a peaceful town to "Subvert" it.
If your nation has enough Towny-Influence in the local area, you instantly occupy the town.
Peacefully Revolt
As a mayor of a peaceful town, plant a non-white banner outside your town to "Peacefully Revolt".
If the current town occupier has zero Towny-Influence in the local area, your town is instantly de-occupied.
