the war system for alliances is being redone. simplified.
there is now
1) only auto war ... based on attacking 60% the enemy allinace 100AT each... (or 100% of it, 60AT each, or some combo) UPDATE: 200AT used on 60% of eney...double the initial 100AT
2) war is bloodwar.
Its now live on dev. (dev.gatewars.com)
see:

Re: auto alliance wars -> bloodwar
Looks neat! Can an alliance member drop tags while in blood realm? Can u vaca while in blood realm? Can alliance members trade between each other while in blood realm? ( needed)
So is auto war declared between everyone as well e.g. No nox and phasing?

Re: auto alliance wars -> bloodwar
I liked it a bit when you mentioned it before, and I like it even better with the explanation..
This should revitalise war across the game, good move!
Also; Doc's questions are great. I am curious to know this as well.

Bloodwar.php wrote:What Is BloodWar? How does it work? How does one get into it? Does a flush beat a straight?
If two alliances fight a lot
--specifically if you hit 60% of the enemy alliance members 100 times each, or 100% of the alliance members 60 times each, or some combination thereof, in 24hours---
, it auto-instigates war.
The 'war meter' is visible on an enemy alliance member's stats page (both them on you, and you on them). This measures the % of hits your alliance has done on them (or visa verse) compared to the number of hits (attack turns used) needed to start war. When both reach 100% (you on them, them on you), you are at war. (see below).
There is but one type of war - BLOODWAR!
BLOODWAR is only open to alliances of 5 or more members.
You can see your path to war, and other alliancs' path to war with you, in 'foreign relations' (link on base page, with alliance stuff). This page also offer a quick link to your alliance's enemy list...
While attacking (before bloodwar) --when you reach 80% of the way to bloodwar on another allinace, a checkbox confirming your intentions will appear, and a 'check' required to attack.
When bloodwar is initiated, both alliances are sent ingame messages, and your base page will show you in the 'realm of blood'.
The war is set to start 4 hours after both alliances have reached 100% on the other alliance 'war meter' (defined above).
During those 4 hours, both sides get a 'truce' where you can not hit each other.
The war will last 24 hours.
While you are in bloodwar:
* You can not use PPT (existing PPT remains, but no new PPT allowed).
* You can not receive goods from other players outside of your own alliance.
* You can not hit, spy, sab, etc -anyone except your own alliance, and that of your enemy.
* You can not use ingame market, black market, or supporter markets.
* During attacks, your attack and defense units 'meld' to create simply a fighting force. Unit deaths, and weapon damage, will apply to attack and defense (ie the melded army).
* During attacks, damage is doubled due to war multiplier.
The winner of the bloodwar is the alliance who kills the most of the other alliances' units (raided units count as kills). Straight up and simple.
Past battles can be seen via the link: 'Chronicles of Galactic Alliance Wars' on the base page.
WARNING! --if the war was not bloody enough (not enough attacks; not enough deaths) -- both alliances contract a BLOOD CURSE for 5 days following the war. This halves all stats, including income and UP. And a few other hidden nasties. Leave it to say, that the blood realm is not meant for vacationing....
This is truly an epic contest between alliances.
THIS IS BLOODWAR!

Re: auto alliance wars -> bloodwar
Can people quit the alliance if they choose not to be involved once it happens or can people join alliances for those who would want to help provide resources to friends?

Can it be With or WITHOUT house bonus? And add on enhancements left out? Only raw account firepower, such as units, ms and of course covert and ac? No planets, no house features.

So in an alliance war that enters bloodwar, G+R options like double strike damage and that magic realm phase will be unavailable?

when attempting to use market:
No time for shopping now!! Put down your purse and get to the armory!!
Bloodwar is ON!
When disarming all your troops so Juliette can have some fun:
6 pages of incoming
The only thing I want to test/know is if a member without 1, 2 or 3ic of an alliance can start a bloodwar (e.g. do the attacks)

Notice on your account command page there is a meter now, it rises as you attack, so any player in an alliance can start the blood war as long as the meter is maxed to 100%.

Yes but there is a checkbox saying something along the lines of "you are 83.6% into blood war are you sure you wish to attack?" however I've only tested that as 1ic of an alliance
