Current war system is broken mainly because its to easy to avoid wars. My mixed races, non top/ ranked kingdom can't get anyone to war no matter what. We spent a whole month waving 3 kingdoms a day, sending out mass messages, changing our kingdom name to Msg 4 War, and no one would play with us. We even have been waving kingdoms way better than us who still take a dozen hits go ehh who cares and ignore us. Also we tried being mean and hitting the same kingdom continually for a week, still no war.

Never in the history of the the world real or imaginary have 2 kingdoms gotten together and said halo chap lets have a war, good idea mate and then declared war. So i say eliminate that aspect and make it more realistic.

Have option to declare war on kingdoms within 95%-150% your size. Immediatly upon declaration defending kingdom is more prepared being on the defensive and has a 50% bonus to def military strength, thievery and magic. So basically they dont have to fight back and can sit pretty safe and tight. Every hit/10 ops the defending kingdom makes brings down the bonus by 10%. This gives the defending kingdom a good bonus at the start of the war which might give them a reason to fight back since they start the war at an advantage. Kingdom declared upon's monarch then has a choice during first 12 horus of declaration, go to war or suffer consequence. Kingdom A has declared war on you, fight back or submit. If you submit you immediatly lose 5% honor and 5% land to the declaring kingdom. (more honor than actually winning a war because you were more cowardly) Declaring kingdom has option to keep or destroy land sent to them in tribute. Kingdoms submitted and times you have submitted are tallied on kingdom page next to war wins. Reason for this is if you run and hide constantly, itll be posted on your kingdom page and super kingdoms will constantly be declaring on you to pick up an easy 5% honor. If you have very few submissions or none, kingdoms will know you want to war. Thus finding war targets for kingdoms who actually want to war will be much easier. My kingdom would only declare kingdoms with few to no submissions because it means they are more likely to war us isntead of wasting our times on kingdoms that submit constantly.

Results of this system=
1.) Extreme abuse. Networth kingdoms would constnatnly be declaring on weaker kingdoms to collect their land (but suprise they have to be 95% your size so they might just fight back). Big honor kingdoms would collect tons of honor by constantly submitting kingdoms. True, only way i can think of to counter is to make kingdoms you can declare on also have to be within a certain honor range 75-125% maybe, not sure about this though. Or maybe if kingdom is outside that honor range submitting isnt as dishonorable and they lose no honor or land, just get the tally.

2.) Server in chaos- there would be big and fast changes in networth, land, honor

3.) More wars

4.) More fun

As i posted above this system is extremely abusable, if you dont like it try posting possible abuses that i missed and fixes for them, or your own war system to fix this incredibly boring system we currently have.
