This guide was written by referring to previous hostile situations on the World of Legends as well as the Genesis server.
 
−
:'''NB''' It has been said (hasn't been checked) that the hostile meter on WoL and Genesis differ in terms of points required to declare war.

==Significance of the Hostility Meter==
−
'''For two kingdoms to gain the ability to declare war on one another, two conditions have to be met.'''
+
When a party hits '''15 points''' they become Unfriendly to the Kingdom which they hit/opped. Hostile status requires '''30 points''' to achieve.
−
# The kingdoms must be at least unfriendly on one side and hostile on the other.
 
−
# The hostile meter must not be maxed out.
 
−
If these two conditions are met, the kingdom which has the lower hostile meter will than receive the option to declare war.
 
  
 +
If both Kingdoms reach Hostile relations, the kingdom with fewer meter points may declare war. When '''60 points''' are reached by both Kingdoms, either one can declare.
  
−
==Attacks and How they Move the Meter==
+
On the first of each Utopian Month, both hostility meters decay by '''one fifth (20%) or 3 points, whichever is greater'''.
−
Different successful attack types add to the hostile meter at varying levels of intensity. In '''Normal Stance''', the attacks add to the meter according to the figures given below. In '''Aggressive Stance''', attacks add twice as much to the meter (e.g. a Traditional March in Aggressive would add 2 points to the meter, as opposed to 1 point in normal stance).
 
  
−
===Traditional Marches===
+
==Attacks, Spells, Ops and How they Move the Meter==
−
'''Traditional Marches''' add 1 point to the hostile meter per hit.
+
Different successful Attack types, Spells and Thievery Operations add to the Hostility Meter at varying levels of intensity. The Attacks add to the Meter according to the figures given below. The Meter is capped at 180 points.
−
===Razes, Plunders & Learns===
 
−
'''Razes/Plunders''' and '''Learns''' add 0.5 points to the meter per hit.
 
−
===Massacres===
 
−
To my knowledge, '''Massacres''' add 0.5 points per hit.
 
−
* This figure has been disputed, with some saying they add 0.7 points to the meter per hit.
 
−
===Bounces & Conquests===
 
−
Bounces and Conquests add a different number of points to the meter.  
 
  
−
For example, a true bounce (due to minor miscalculation) would add almost close to a point to the meter. On the other hand, a fog check bounce would add a negligible number of points (<0.5) to the meter.  
+
===Traditional Marches, Conquests, Razes, Plunders, Massacres, Learns===
 +
All these Attacks add 3 points to the Hostility Meter per hit.
  
−
It is also proposed that the hostile meter moves as a function of offense sent in conquests however there is no hard evidence that I have been able to come up with to prove this.
+
===Ambushes===

Ambushes add 1.5 points to the Meter.

Bounces will affect the Meter based on Offense send / Defense. <!--(i.e. a failed attack with greater than 75% offense sent would move the meter equivalent to 50% of a successful Traditional March)-->

Significance of the Hostility Meter

When a party hits 15 points they become Unfriendly to the Kingdom which they hit/opped. Hostile status requires 30 points to achieve.

If both Kingdoms reach Hostile relations, the kingdom with fewer meter points may declare war. When 60 points are reached by both Kingdoms, either one can declare.

On the first of each Utopian Month, both hostility meters decay by one fifth (20%) or 3 points, whichever is greater.

Attacks, Spells, Ops and How they Move the Meter

Different successful Attack types, Spells and Thievery Operations add to the Hostility Meter at varying levels of intensity. The Attacks add to the Meter according to the figures given below. The Meter is capped at 180 points.

Traditional Marches, Conquests, Razes, Plunders, Massacres, Learns

All these Attacks add 3 points to the Hostility Meter per hit.

Ambushes

Ambushes add 1.5 points to the Meter.

Bounces

Bounces will affect the Meter based on Offense send / Defense.

Dragons

Dragons sent add 30 points to the Hostility Meter.
