Town Control

Overview

Town Control is a large-scale faction-based PvPvE event where two opposing factions battle for control of a settlement. Players join one of two teams and fight alongside AI-controlled militia and officers to capture control points, drain the enemy's tickets, and claim the town for their faction. The event features dynamic militia balancing, a three-tier reward system, and lasting consequences for faction influence and town ownership.

How It Works

Event Schedule

Town Control events are queued automatically by the server. A random Conflict is selected, and from that conflict a random battlefield (town) is chosen. A 30-minute countdown begins, during which the town enters Siege status. A global announcement is broadcast in chat and via Discord webhooks.

During the siege phase:

• Faction camps spawn on the world map adjacent to the contested town
• All players are expelled from the town map
• Players entering the town are redirected to the camp entrance

Choosing Sides

When a player's group attempts to enter a town under siege or battle status, the group gets assigned to a team:

• If the group leader's Faction belongs to one of the conflict's teams (Team1 or Team2), the entire group is assigned that side
• Players whose faction is on the opposing side are removed from the group
• If the leader has no faction allegiance in the conflict, the group is assigned to the team with fewer players (balancing)
• Once assigned, players enter the faction camp map (not the battle map directly)

A player's side choice persists for the entire event. Leaving the camp to the world map before the battle begins resets the player's allegiance, allowing a side change. Once the battle starts, side reassignment is locked.

Battle Phase

When the 30-minute countdown expires, the town enters Battle status:

• Friendly fire reflection is enabled (damage reflects back to attacker)
• Three control points are randomly selected on the map
• Players may now enter the battle map through camp entrances
• A live scoreboard is sent to all participants
• The battle loop begins processing tickets and militia

Mirrored Mode

Each Town Control match randomly swaps which physical side of the map each team occupies. This way it is never guaranteed on which side of map you begin.

Control Points

The map contains three control points. Each point is has different position and range. Points are selected from pre-configured groups. A random preset (group of 3 points) is chosen at event start.

The capture mechanic uses a tug-of-war, Every 10-second loop tick causes:

• Players within range of a point influence it towards their max value.
• The value shifts by at most ±1 per tick regardless of player count. Majority of players decide in which direction control point shifts.
• Tickets are drained from each team proportional to the enemy's control level
• Players near a control point earn 25 score per tick and +1 to their Control stat

Militia System

AI-controlled militia soldiers fight alongside players:

Base Values:

• Default militia count: 12 per team
• Militia group size: 3 (spawned in groups of three)
• Militia cap: 30 per team
• Player-to-militia ratio: 1.5 extra militia per player difference
• Respawn time: 1 minute (militia), 3 minutes (officers)

Militia Spawning:

• Spawn locations are determined by same rules as player spawns, spawning on map sides.
• The server calculates how many militia to spawn based on: base count + (team player count × 1.5) − current alive count
• If one team has more players, the other team receives extra militia to compensate

Militia AI Behavior:

• On spotting an enemy player or NPC with a different PvP team, militia immediately attack
• When idle, militia will self-heal using First Aid
• Idle militia will sooner or later move to a random control point
• If team player count altered militia count, the excess militia is deleted instead of respawning

Officer AI Behavior:

• Officers carry 10 Super Stimpaks
• When attacked below half health, officers use a Super Stimpak
• When moving, officers lead up to 4 nearby friendly militia to a control point with them
• Officers respawn every 3 minutes

Scoring

Action	Score
Capturing a control point (per tick)	25
Killing an enemy player	50
Killing an enemy militia NPC	20

Win Condition

The match ends when one team's tickets drop below 0. That team loses, and the opposing team claims victory. The winning faction takes control of the town.

Post-Match Resolution

When the battle ends:

1. The winner's faction gains control of the town
2. The winner's Team Bonus decreases by 2% (minimum 0%)
3. The loser's Team Bonus increases by 2% (maximum 15%)
4. Team Bonuses are applied as a percentage multiplier to each participant's final score
5. Winning factions gain 100 influence plus score divided by 50
6. Losing factions gain 50 influence plus score divided by 50
7. If town ownership changed, town support is reset to 20
8. Town militia are re-added to the map from winner faction
9. All participants are healed, crippled limbs restored, and returned to their faction camp

Requirements

• The town must be part of an active Conflict
• No other meta-event may be active on the same town location
