Map Rules

Welcome to the Map Rules page. On this page, you will find the information needed regarding the server map such as invasion requirements, invasion rules, judging rules, information regarding the Map Table and much more. If you have any questions regarding the server map, feel free to reach out to an administrator on the SMAL discord server.

INVASION REQUIREMENTS

  • An army must have at least 5 members present at any point in the first room and at least 3 members present in the second and third room for both invasions and defenses.
  • For a Freeland invasion, an army must remain online for 10 minutes (Room 1) and must complete at least 3 tactics for their invasion to be successful. S/M armies must have at least 3 present for the full 10 minutes and major armies must have 5 present.

INVASION RULES

  • Armies may only invade servers that are adjacent to their armies territory. If an army owns a server that borders the ocean, they may invade other servers that also border the ocean.
  • Armies who have less than 8 servers may obtain land through non hostile methods.
  • Armies will be allowed to invade an additional 5 servers through non hostile methods after participating in a war.
  • All servers of an army will be locked in a state of war, meaning that if an army is at war, they are not allowed to transfer or relinquish/drop their servers.
  • Armies can schedule a maximum of 3 invasions at a time with only 2 of them being able to be against another army.
  • Armies not registered in SMAL may not invade an army that has land within SMAL
  • Invasions must be scheduled a minimum of 24 hours prior to the invasion and no more than 1 week in advance.
  • Armies can only be invaded a maximum of 2 times per day and once per time zone (AUSIA, EU, US).
  • Invasions must take place at least 3 hours apart.
  • If the defending army does not show up within 10 minutes (Room 1), the invading army will be declared the victors if they meet the invasion requirements.
  • Major armies may not war S/M armies
  • All wars will conclude with a 2 week cooldown, this disallows involved armies from declaring war on each other.
  • All invasions must take place on Club Penguin Army Battleground
  • All Club Penguin Army Judges/Army Judging Board rules must be followed

OTHER INFORMATION

  • Capitals and Co-Capitals can be invaded without being the final servers. They are worth more points/given more value. However, if they are not the final servers, the invading army will receive a 4 point deduction (Capital) and a 3 point deduction (Co-Capital) on the Map Table if they fail to successfully invade these servers.
  • If  Army A wants to invade Army C but is unable to due to Army B being in between both armies, Army A can ask Army B for permission to cross their land and invade Army C.
  • Armies will be given a 7 day grace period upon joining the map, this will disallow them from being invaded for 7 days.
  • An army must have land on the server map to invade another army.

WAR CONCLUSION

Force Treaties have been removed from the Small Medium Army League. Wars will conclude with a Cooldown.

Cooldowns will go into effect following the conclusion of a war and will not allow armies that were involved in a war to raid or declare war on other involved armies for a duration of 2 weeks following the conclusion of a war.

Failing to respect the cooldown will result in an army’s territories being transferred to their opponent(s). Other penalties will be applied if an army does not have any land on the server map.

JUDGING RULES

  • The invading army must request Judges in the Club Penguin Army Judges/Army Judging Board discord a minimum of 24 hours prior to the invasion.
  • Army Leaders are not allowed to veto Judges within 1 hour of a battle, unless the judge has been recently vetoed.
  • Army Leaders are not allowed to veto more than 2 judges per battle.
  • There will be a maximum of 1 overtime room for all invasions (capital invasions, co capital invasions, normal invasions).
  • In the case that a battle ends in a tie, the defending army will keep its territory.
  • To appeal a battle, an army must contact an unaffiliated Head Judge, one who did not judge the battle in question, within 3 hours of the battle summary being announced. The appealing army will then have 21 hours to submit required evidence (e.g., video) of the battle, otherwise, the review will be deemed invalid.
  • If there are no judges available for a battle or a free land invasion, then the participating army can record the battle or invasion and share it with a Head Judge/League Administrator.
