C&N Claims

Cities & Plots

Found a city, claim surrounding land in plots (16x16 or 32x32, the server's choice), and manage who can build, use, or fight on each one. Plots have 11 types – farms, orchards, temples, prisons, embassies, taverns, war camps and more – each with its own cost and rule set.

Alliances & Diplomacy

Cities unite into alliances, sign union pacts with other alliances, and maintain comrade relations with friendly cities. Non-aggression pacts, ultimatums with a compliance deadline, casus belli and one-sided union denunciations give peacetime its own politics. Every major action goes through an agreement flow.

Wars & Territory Capture

Declare war on cities or rival alliances. Battles are scheduled time windows in which attackers can only reach the border plots of an enemy city. Plant a flagpole there, raise a banner on it, and the plot falls after 60 seconds – defenders must physically reach the flag and tear it down, and it absorbs 10 hits before it breaks. Taking a city's last plot destroys it outright.

Winning a War

A war ends in one of three ways: on points – captures, kills and held ground add up to a victory threshold, and the beaten city survives; by conquest – taking the enemy's last plot wipes the city off the map; or by negotiation – a peace offer, with or without terms. Servers can switch the score off and leave only the older two.

Camps, Spoils & Bounties

Attackers build forward war camps to respawn at, capturing a plot pillages part of the enemy treasury, and killing an enemy plunders what they carry. Bounties can be placed on troublesome heads and claimed by whoever collects. A war HUD tracks the score live, and an after-action report closes the campaign.

Peace Terms & Vassalage

Peace is negotiated, not just declared: offer or demand reparations, the cession of a specific plot, or vassalage – a subdued side pays a daily tribute to its overlord for a set number of days. War declarations can cost money and carry re-declaration cooldowns.

Heraldry

Cities and alliances design their own coat of arms from a solid field and up to five charges on top – 32 patterns in 11 colours. The arms show up in the city and alliance tabs, in the world city and alliance lists, beside both sides of a conflict, on the world map when you point at a plot, and on the capture flags your city plants during a war.

Ranks & Permissions

Mayors create custom city ranks and assign 80 granular permissions: who may claim plots, invite citizens, withdraw from the treasury, manage prisons, declare wars, set the coat of arms, and much more.

Economy

Integrates with CAN Economy for virtual (item-based) or real-money modes. Cities and alliances hold dedicated bank accounts. Daily maintenance fees, debt limits, refunds on unclaim, and configurable costs for every action.
