Castle battle will be free for all. Alliances agree to keep the battle going for 8 hours to allow players of different time zones to participate. Additionally, State vs State castle battle will always require the focus and retention for our players for a long time so keeping the fight available should be standard. During State vs State, attacks on state 199 alliances is forbidden. 

Lines of communication between rally leaders of different alliances should be established, for example a group chat in game to encourage timing rallies together.

Alliances are free to form diplomatic arrangements to support each other during internal castle battle. 

Alliances agree to try to resolve issues diplomatically and instruct their members and leadership to not respond to individual player attacks with further aggression. Intent and frequency of issue should be considered when approaching problems. Consequences of offenses can be arranged between alliances but should be appropriate to the loss received. 

For example, if you were attacked and pushed off a lvl 8 gathering node an appropriate consequence could be receiving the amount you would have gained from that gathering tile + healing costs.

Or, if you were attacked during Brothers in Arms and lost 35000 troops but the attack was not intentional, you may want to request larger compensation and to inflict similar losses on the offender.

No cattle wrangling except on Tuesdays.
