Guilds

Structure

Guilds is an addition to the game Reign of Kings, the purpose of guilds is to enable the ability to invite friends and others into a faction, this allows players to easily identify allies from enemies when players are close as allies will always have their name shown when in close proximity to other guild members. This also prevents any unnecessary friendly casualties when caught in a skirmish or raid. The system encourages players to play with friends as Crests are essential for land expansion for the guild and only 1 crest can be placed by any player.

Recruiting

To invite players to join your guild, press 'E' or the action hotkey when close at the desired player and click invite to guild, if you are being invited to the guild press 'O' or your guild hotkey and on the top right of the new window, it should allow the option to join the guild.

Ranking

Members is the main title of freshly recruited guild members, acting as a lower ranking than the Family members, regular members have access to mostly the same privileges with their higher ranked ones, however they do not have access to specific areas if the passage is blocked by a 'Family' owned door which can be designated by any 'Family' member.

Family members are titles given to the most dedicated and trustworthy members of the guild, much like an inner sanctum, this title allows access to any guild structure that the guild currently possesses and more specifically the 'family' specified doors. The title can be used to lock doors to rooms only the most trustworthy can access. The title of 'Family' does not grant any other bonuses other than higher renown.

Land Conquering

Crests provide an unparalleled role in expanding your guild. Crests are used to secure your location and lock down the area so other players cannot build except for your guild members, crests take a considerable amount of time to lock down your land so forward planning of where your guild is going to be based at is advised. Once conquered, the land around the crest will be secured and you should see the guild's name and banner on the top right along with the 'Conquered' status. When building the area, there should be border lines around the crest or area, this acts as the end points of how much land your crest has conquered. The quality of the crest determines the amount of land conquered. Crests can only be placed once by any guild member thus recruiting is encouraged.
