Gloria Victis Answers State of War Questions, Adjusts Siege Tents

The latest Gloria Victis weekly update addresses a wave of community questions about State of War mechanics, alongside Siege Tent adjustments and recent in-game changes.

What changed and what was clarified

• Guild island looting: Visiting players can loot and be looted only if the host guild has a loot zone enabled.
• Visitor cap: No threshold for simultaneous visitors is currently planned.
• New member cooldowns: At the time of State of War's return, new guild members will be able to join battles without restriction — though a cooldown may be introduced later based on observation and feedback.
• Guild size: No increase to player capacity in guilds is planned at this time.
• Battle roster control: The guild leader, acting as default party leader, decides who participates and can remove unwanted players from the roster.
• Mercenaries: Mercenary participation in State of War battles is not included at launch, though the developers note it is something to consider for the future.
• Defender rewards: Defenders earn Technology Points based on standing and results, as well as National Points and Contribution Points during battles. Looting is also possible on islands with an active loot zone.

For players anticipating State of War's return, the Q&A sketches the outline of a system where guild leadership holds significant control over participation, and rewards flow from both performance and territorial conditions.
