Minimum Requirements
You have a right to expect certain standards from your fellow Jedi members, but that means we also have a right to expect you to meet those standards yourself.
DEFENDING
First and foremost, unless instructed otherwise by a member of Jedi management, you will defend your fellow Jedi. This is our number One rule and is inviolable. Persons deciding this does not apply to them will be shown the fastest way to the exit.
With Foreign Lords and Bloodcrows and other NPC events, if we need to send defenders, 300 melee and 300 range troops will do. Coin troops only, don't waste your ruby troops on things like that. If we receive a PVP, you will be expected to send as many as reasonable to cover off the incoming attack.
DEFENDING MAY BE WITHELD ON MANAGEMENTS INSTRUCTION FOR PERSONS NOT MEETING ANY/ALL MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS.
LOOTING
We're pretty relaxed here when it comes to loot expectations, but it has come to a point where some are taking advantage of that and want everthing for nothing. Looting also helps you build your Commanders, Castellans, Tools and Castle Upgrades. If you don't want to loot, you're not going to progress in the game and you're not helping the alliance to advance either. So, to remain a member of Jedi and earn the right to ask for occasional resources from other members over and above what you are able to loot, we insist that you loot a minimum of 2000 x your level per day. That might sound harsh to you, but it's really a simple target to achieve, even just by hitting a few barons per day. A level 30 needs 60k per day, a 70 needs 140k. A trivial sum, but it shows you're making an effort. You don't loot, don't ask. Simples.
COMMANDERS, CASTELLANS &
OFFLINE DEFENCE SETUPS
Commanders
You need to have at least 1 SPEED COMMANDER. If you don't have one, how are you going to move fast for defending. Does it matter? Hell, yes. You want defending any time, you better make sure you are prepared and capable of doing so in others times of need. Anyone should be able to create a commander with at least 80% speed. Some heros will make it even faster for supporting.
Castellans
You castellans in ALL of your castles will need to match or beat the specifications in the tbale below
Level 65-70, 90 Melee, 80 Range man strength Level 60-65, 80 Melee, 65 Range man strength Level 50-59, 60 Melee, 55 Range man strength Level 40-49, 45 Melee, 45 Range man strength Level 30-39, 30 Melee, 30 Range man strength
Offline Defence Setups
This applies to ALL levels and ALL castles.
You should have enough defenders in all of your castles to at least cover your walls. Any castle or op with no defenders in may be refused assistance.
Your defenders will be on either left or right flank, not both. There will be enough tools on this wall to cover at least 2 fully tooled incomings without needing attention. If you only have 1 slot for tools, they should be wall tools of the best quality you can manage. If more than one slot is available to you, 1 slot should be range tools and all other slots should be wall. Best setup is 1 slot with 12 range tools and the remaing slots with 12 lime bombs or spikes in each slot. Set your defenders as 90% Melee and 10% Range. Don't forget your moat. Once again, failure to have this or another acceptable setup may result in support being refused.
SUNDRIES
Watchtowers should be in each castle and as high a level as you can manage
Stables should be made to level 3 as a priority.
Hall Of Legends should be upgraded to you level as soon as possible. There are numerous benefits to this and will be explained if needed on request.
Crafting items should initially be used to make enough " % Men On Walls " upgrades to cover all your castles. After that, it's always good to have a whole bunch of level 10 Food Production to be able to throw at your castles.
