Duelling

Duels can be initiated between two players at almost any time, the defending player does not even need to be online if you wish to challenge them, however hotels, barracks and fort gates where players wait for battles to start a considered to be safe havens and a jewel cannot be initiated. Jules are divided into eight rounds whereby each player has eight opportunities to both land and attack and also dodge their opponents, requiring high attack values and defence values.

Whoever deals the most damage during the dual is declared the winner, if the damage dealt is tied then victory goes to the defender. When an opponent loses all their health during the dual they pass out and the other player is declared the winner.

Towns

towns act as social hubs within the game and players can work together to settle the frontier and build up long-standing towns, the placement of each building giving some benefits to the players. Players can only be a member of one town at a time but they are free to switch to other towns after a brief period of downtime upon leaving a previous town. When a town loses all its members then it becomes a ghost town and buildings begin to shut down and no benefits can be gained from them.

If the ghost town is revitalised, which costs about as much money as settling a new town, then all the old buildings return back to use and have retained their previous levels.
