Rules of War

The Divine Commentary ensures fair, tactical warfare while preserving the beauty, creativity, and politics of the Landfall SMP. Enforced by the Divine Entity, all players and nations are subject to its rules.

Rules of Engagement

  1. Target Strategic Objectives
    • Focus attacks on military targets like bases or supply depots.
    • Avoid unnecessary destruction of civilian or unrelated decorative builds.
  2. Limit Destruction
    • Mass destruction (e.g., deforestation, lava casting, or city-wide leveling) is prohibited.
    • Tactical demolition of relevant structures is allowed.
  3. Minimize Collateral Damage
    • Use weapons and tactics designed to limit harm to civilian areas and natural landmarks.
  4. Respect Neutral Zones
    • Do not attack sacred sites, safe zones, or agreed neutral areas.
  5. No Spawn Killing
    • Repeatedly killing defenseless players or trapping them at their spawn point is forbidden.
  6. Fair Play
    • Engage in meaningful, strategic warfare. Avoid griefing or purely destructive acts.
  7. Freedom to Enter Contract
    • These are default rules. Players may negotiate contracts or diplomatic agreements to supersede specific guidelines, such as creating additional neutral zones or altering engagement terms.

Preserving Creativity

  1. Respect Builders
    • Excessive destruction of creative or elaborate structures will result in divine rollback.
  2. Encourage Rebuilding
    • Victorious factions are encouraged to assist with repairs to maintain server balance.

Enforcement

  1. Divine Oversight
    • The Divine Entity enforces these rules with rollbacks and penalties for violations.
    • Evidence (e.g., screenshots or videos) must accompany violation reports.
  2. Punishments
    • Violators face resource fines, rollbacks, or combat restrictions.
