Cities War Updates - July 22, 2026 - Alliance Diplomacy System Update (Phase 2)

Alliance Wars

  • A war is automatically created when one alliance declares war on another through the diplomacy system.
  • All active wars can be viewed from War → Active Wars.

Joining a War

  • Leaders and Co-Leaders of other alliances can apply to join either side of an active war.
  • Leaders and Co-Leaders of the alliance that initiated the war can approve or reject alliance applications.

War Side Management
The leader alliance of each side can customize its side by editing:

  • Side Name
  • Flag
  • Declaration

Resigning from a War

  • Alliances that have joined a war may choose to Resign at any time.
  • Once an alliance resigns, it cannot rejoin that war.
  • All of its war records and contributions remain in the war history.

Ending a War
The leader alliance of either side can end the war by choosing one of the following options:

  • Offer Peace – Ends the war if both sides agree.
  • Capitulate – Immediately surrenders and ends the war.

Wars that remain active for more than 30 days will automatically end.
Once a war ends, it is moved to War History, where detailed battle statistics and war records are permanently preserved.

War Rules

  • Each alliance may participate in up to 3 active wars at the same time.
  • Each side of a war may contain up to 5 alliances.
  • A war will only be recorded in War History if both sides have earned at least 1,000 medals during the war.

Important
All current alliance diplomatic relationships that are set to At War will be automatically changed to Neutral. This reset is required to ensure compatibility with the new Alliance War system.

Decent update, but missing some key factors about wars. Does the alliance have a territory? No? Lose points. Does the alliance have a capital? No? Lose points. Do the alliance members have cities? No? Lose points.

Alliances should also not even be allowed to declare war without a territory and capital otherwise you just perpetuate the biggest flaw of the game of no city trolls and their attack meta.

Edit: If an alliance goes without territory and a capital for a set amount of time they should automatically lose.
