Here are a few customary guidelines often agreed upon for planned battles (Nothing is official and multiple standards are encouraged).

As in the title

The rules of engagement under Pax Kurwani.

• No diamond armour may be used.
• Officers are encouraged to wear golden helms, though they are not required to.
• Armour may not be enchanted.

• The battle continues until one side has been driven from the field of battle (forced into retreat or have had their beds destroyed and respawned at the main spawn) or surrenders.
• Hiding or camping in inaccessable areas forfeits one's position in the battle.
• Those having cause but not lust to fight may justly be called pussies.

• If a mod or admin finds proof of one side cheating (breaking the aboce rules) that side's honor is forfeit, as is their claim to the participate- they automatically lose.
• The victorious side may claim ownership of the land, wealth, or rights and titles at stake, unless this battle is part of a greater war, in which case the International Rules of Wartime dictate the outcome.
• Any loot gathered by either side may justly be kept.

Updated on 11th of July 2012 to v1.1.

The build phase lasts 15 minutes and is there to do preparations. For the attackers this usually means the construction of a camp while the defenders are activating traps and getting in position. Everything and anything can be build while this phase lasts. Tools are allowed. During this phase all hostile activities are strictly prohibited! In fact even getting close to the enemy location is prohibited. To ensure this, a line is to be drawn that is not to be crossed during this phase. Violating this rule will get the perpetrator (single player) expelled permanently from the conflict.

Update v1.1: Privatized blocks like furnaces, chests, etc. that are meant to block a players path are illegal.

The combat phase is the actual battle. This phase lasts for 60 minutes. If after the combat phase ended no victor has been declared another cycle of Build-Combat-Phase begins.

Bowman: 1/2 iron 1/2 leather armor mix, stone sword, unenchanted bow, 48 arrows, any one misc. equipment set

Each team chooses a loosely defined base of operations (a siege camp versus a city, two opposing forts, etc.) where beds are located.

Each participant will create a chest at the foot of their bed stocked with two sets of their basic equipment (not including the set they will wear and carry).

Any participating mods should be demodded prior to battle.

Attackers should not destroy placed blocks (ie, obstacles created by defenders should be scaled rather than mined through), defenders should not create inaccessible safe zones or obstacles that cannot be overcome with the defender's equipment set.

A minimal amount of “griefing” should be expected. This includes destruction of torches and animals, placement of blocks and water from buckets, trenches dug into the soil layer, and similar actions.

The battle rages until one team forfeits. PLAYERS MAY NOT CRAFT ADDITIONAL WEAPONS OR ARMOR DURING BATTLE. If a player has died three times losing each set, they may only battle naked or with equipment picked from the battlefield.
