General Provisions
Participants of the War
The war is waged among users who belong to clans – samurai. Each samurai owns their castle, commands a troop of soldiers, and can enlist the services of agents.
Peaceful Residents
A user is considered peaceful if their clan did not choose to engage in the war. It is forbidden to attack a peaceful resident and to send agents against them.
Declaration of War
To participate in the war, the clan leader on the game page ‘Clan Wars 2’ must choose a side (Emperor, Shogun, Republic) by clicking the ‘Join the War’ button.
Conditions for Victory
At the end of the war, two winners are selected – the war hero and the winning clan. The winning clan is the one that takes first place in the ranking. The user who earns the most glory (in individual competition) becomes the war hero. Winners are awarded special orders. Clan members who earn less than 50 points of glory during the war receive no awards, even if they belong to the winning clan.
Conflict of Interest
If the clan leader does not want to participate in the war, but the clan members do, the following can be done: 1) convince the leader to start the war, 2) establish a new clan with another leader. The forcible removal of the clan leader is not provided for.
Management Elements
All information about the progress of the war, as well as available actions, can be found on the page ‘Clan Wars 2’.
The 'Samurai Castle' Panel
The panel contains information about the player's state: alliance, player's rank in the glory rating, clan (level), clan's place in the clan ratings, attack and defense parameters, treasury status, list of available agents and tools. The buttons for managing the castle are also found there: tax collection, purchasing a battleship/machine gun, etc.
Samurai / Clan Rating
A universal section where the rating of samurai and clans is displayed. Switching between them occurs by clicking the header. You can also attack any of the samurai or direct your agents against the enemy here.
Chronicle of War
As the name suggests, the chronicle records the events of 'Clan Wars 2': battles of samurai and unsuccessful actions of agents. Information about successful sorties of agents is visible only to the owners of those agents. Clicking on the header shows the 'Personal Chronicle,' where only events that happened directly with you are recorded.
The 'Clan War' Panel (Player Profile)
The panel contains brief information about the state of the clan: position in the ranking, combat glory. Buttons for interacting with the player are also located there.
Troop Parameters
The parameters of the troops commanded by a samurai in battle, as well as other information, are displayed on the 'Clan Wars 2' page in the 'Samurai Castle' panel. The parameters are visible only to the samurai (i.e., the player) and may be known to another player if their geisha successfully completes a mission for espionage.
Alliance
The leader of the clan chooses the alliance when entering the war. Belonging to an alliance is mandatory and gives bonuses to each clan member:
• for the emperor: +20 koku when collecting taxes;
• for the shogun: +1 to defense;
• for the republic: +1 to attack.
Combat Glory
Used to form the ranking of samurai and clans. Earned only through military victories. Lost due to defeats in battle and unsuccessful actions of agents. For each day of inactivity, the samurai loses 1 point of glory. Clan glory accumulates from the glory of its members. Minimum value: 0. Starting value: 0.
Treasury
Measured in koku. Spent on military needs and hiring agents. Minimum value: 0 koku. Maximum value: unlimited. A bankrupt clan cannot conduct military actions, hire spies, and becomes an easy target for the enemies. To replenish the treasury, taxes must be collected daily.
Attack
An abstract parameter that determines the success of attacking the enemy. Base value: 10.
Depending on the level of the clan of which the samurai is part, he gets an advantage: 2-4 level: attack +1, 5+ level: attack +2. The parameter can be worsened by a successful enemy sabotage.
Defense
An abstract parameter that determines the success of repelling enemy attacks. Base value: 10. Depending on the clan level, the samurai receives an advantage: 3-5 level: defense +1, 6+ level: defense +2. The parameter can be worsened by a successful enemy sabotage.
Military Actions
Engaged in a war for power over Japan, a samurai can take advantage of several options.
Attack the Enemy
Activated in the 'Samurai Rating' on the 'Clan Wars 2' page.
Costs: the attacking samurai spends 30 koku, the defending - 15 koku.
Frequency of use: unlimited.
In case of a successful attack, the attacker gains combat glory (+5), the defender loses it (-3). When attacking a clan member, a glory penalty of 10 points is imposed regardless of the success of the attack. When attacking an enemy whose combat glory is 10 points higher than yours, in case of victory, you will receive 8 points of glory. When attacking an enemy whose combat glory is 10 points lower than yours, in case of victory, you will receive 2 points of glory.
If the samurai is subjected to 10 attacks within 1 day, they are considered "weary," and a successful attack on them will yield only 2 points of combat glory. The status "Weary from Battles" is shown in the samurai ranking.
In the event of a failed attack, the defender counter-attacks. If the counterattack is successful, the defender gains combat glory (+4), and the attacker loses it (-4). A failed counterattack has no negative consequences for the counter-attacker.
The more significant the difference between the attack of the attacker and the defense of the defender, the higher the likelihood of the attacker’s victory. However, luck may smile upon the weaker troop: bad weather, an upset stomach of the battle horse, and other inconveniences can lead to the weak defeating the strong.

Diplomacy
Diplomacy should be employed alongside agents and armies. A joint attack on the enemy or prolonged terror through sabotage will yield much more fruit than solitary skirmishes. Negotiate alliances and coordinate actions through personal messaging systems, messengers, or email. No one and nothing but your conscience controls your actions: only you can decide whether to fulfill the agreements made or betray an ally and stab them in the back. Nevertheless, do not forget: the fiercest enemies are your former friends.

The weight of 1 koku of rice is approximately equal to 150 kg. The number of koku of rice was also a primary measure of wealth and served as a monetary equivalent in medieval Japan. For example, a samurai's salary was determined in koku, and the productivity of provinces was also measured in koku.
