Declare War and Manage Faction Conflicts

Understand War Mechanics and Costs

Wars are expensive. When your team declares war on a rival faction, both sides incur additional upkeep costs on top of normal land maintenance. Wars are meant to be significant events, not casual disputes. Only declare war if your team can afford the escalated expenses and is prepared for prolonged conflict.

Declare War Through FTB Teams

Open your FTB Teams interface and click the diamond sword icon to access war management. Select the rival team you want to challenge and declare war. Both factions receive notification of the conflict. Your team bank will immediately begin paying the increased upkeep fees.

Manage War Duration and Costs

Monitor your team's finances carefully during war. The extra upkeep stacks on top of your region maintenance costs. If your bank runs empty, protections disable—leaving your territory vulnerable. Plan your war strategy around your financial runway.

End the Conflict

Use the war management interface to propose a peace treaty or surrender. Once the war ends, the additional upkeep costs stop, and your team returns to normal maintenance expenses. Winning wars doesn't grant automatic territory—control is determined by who can afford to keep their land protected.
