Hello everyone, and welcome to an introduction of my server "TribeWars". TribeWars was originally just an idea of mine until a great developer TheRealDan brought it to life! I plan to have the server released before Christmas (December, 25). On to the important information, I'll be sharing how the server works, and how the server is played. I'm going to start by saying its a one of a kind raiding server, and there is no TNT cannons!

What is tribe wars

TribeWars is a raiding server, a lot like factions in a way. You can raid others only with the use of "explosives". You can only raid with Grenades, Sticky grenades, Spawner grenades, and C4 Explosives. You can create a tribe, and claim your tribes 200x200 plot anywhere in the open world. Upon claiming there is a 12 hour grace period where your tribe can't be raided.

What are tribes
Tribes are a way to bring your friends together, the same as a faction. You can invite others to your tribe with /t invite [name]. You can kick players, promote players, as well as claim land, unclaim your land, and even reclaim your land, and last but not least change your tribes color.

What can you do in a tribe

Depending on what rank you are in your tribe (member, admin, owner) you can set your tribes description, change the tribes color, kick players, invite players, and even more.

How can you claim land for your tribe

You can claim your tribes 200x200 plot by using the command /t claim. You can use /t unclaim to unclaim the land, and /t reclaim to automatically reclaim wherever you are standing.

What are the perks of having a tribe

Without a tribe you can't claim land. With a tribe you can claim land, and grow you tribe from the inside out. Creating a tribe gives you a place to start building your base. Without a base your items and spawners would not be safe.

What are tribe cores
Tribe cores are given to you when you claim your land. The tribe core is to be placed inside your tribes land. Anyone in the tribe can use /t home, and they will be teleported to the tribe home. The tribe core location is the location of your tribes home. The tribe core can be upgraded to give your tribe buffs in your claim. The core can be upgraded 5 times.

How do you upgrade your tribes core
You can upgrade your tribes core by crafting the "core upgrade". Once you have the almighty core upgrade, all you have to do is right click your tribe core with the upgrade. You can view what level your tribe core is by shift+rightclick. To craft the core upgrade you need to find 9 of the relics needed, relics 1-9 are hidden around spawn. Once you have all 9 you can craft the core upgrade. Every 48 hours you may pickup the relic again and continue to upgrade your core.

How do you change your tribes "color"

You can change your tribes color or "theme" by doing /t c or /t color. You have 5 colors to pick from, and this will color format your tribe to the color you picked, and there will be a wool ring of the color you picked around your tribes claim.

How do you set your tribes home

You can set your tribes home by moving the tribe core anywhere in your land. Wherever the core is at, the tribe home is directly on top.

What's the reason for upgrading your tribe core
Each time the core is upgraded, your tribe will receive buffs in the claimed land.

How do you raid others
You raid others with explosives, slowly degrading their walls until your through each layer and finally into their base!

What are all the explosives used to raid
You can use grenades, sticky grenades, spawner grenades, and C4. All grenades can be shot out of a grenade launcher (shooting 3 grenades at a time, 3x raiding speed). Spawner grenades have a 100% chance to drop spawners as the rest are only 25% to drop spawners. Each of these explosives do damage to "base building blocks" degrading them over time until they finally break, other blocks have more HP (hit points) than others.

What blocks should I use to build my base

The blocks used to build base walls are, wood, cobblestone, stonebrick, obsidian, and Ironblocks. Ironblocks being the strongest, and wood planks being the weakest. A full base of iron blocks would take MUCH longer to raid than a wooden base.

There is fine tuning to be done with raiding to make it just right. Everything works great and is complete, I just need to configure things to my liking. Please let me know your thoughts about the server and what you think could be improved. Pictures will be added soon, as well as a trailer. The server website is close to being finished as well as the buycraft! The server address will be posted closer to release date. There is much more of the server to be shown that I'm hoping to capture with pictures. I will be often updating this thread with more information on the server!

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

no grace period.
That sure is the easiest way around the issue. The current grace period is just an hour for now. I dont think a player would re-create a tribe every hour. There tribe would be deleted every time, as well as their tribes progress. We will just have to see, in the end ill do what i believe is best!

This sounds very interesting! I am looking forwards to checking out the server when it's done.

In terms of Tricky Factins mentioning failed servers, although not of the same idea, I used to be one of the owners of Asgard Ascension, later known as The-Ingot MC. Most of our ideas were original/unique (or at least very rare), and we had a large playerbase for quite a while but traffic started to die out as most people found comfort in the familiarities of traditional playing styles.

I don't have many suggestions for you in terms of player retention, but as long as your gameplay is captivating enough, people will stay. I wish you the best of luck in your ventures and you can always come to me for advice/tips even if I may not have as much experience as you (I have no idea and don't want to appear arrogant).

I remember The-Ingot MC, was a very nice server and i loved the server logo! Thanks for the support, im planning on getting youtubers on the server once i can afford it, and maybe even a paid advertising spot. What techniques did you use to draw players to the server? I think i remember coming across the ingot from an advertising spot. PS-(The parkour / mob arena rankups were great!)

Haha thanks, we spent most of our advertising budget on YouTubers. We also purchased some .org slots, but we didn't spend much on that compared to YouTubers.

Examples:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsC7Bac1Jpg28k0BSMEz6ZA
Vadact (not many views sadly)
Also a manager running our own YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW0yV6J9ChdtufndMVvi6RQ

Edit: also, TerasHD but again, not many views..

I don't know how much we spent on these, as I was in charge of early gameplay development (ideas and such).

Thanks for the help! Im gonna need to spend my money wisely and let time take its course. Im just praying this wont end up being a bust. Im hoping to tend to more than just the factions community with this server, and allow all players to enjoy raiding. Ill just have to see how it goes, i will probably try and hire some "faction youtubers" to try and mix it up. Did any one youtuber help significantly? You would think that https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsC7Bac1Jpg28k0BSMEz6ZA would have brought in a lot of players?

I would think that that channel brought the greatest amount of players, but I don't know much from that aspect of management. All I know was that YouTube had a much greater impact than .org slots. I believe our YouTube budget was upward of $6,000 USD.

The only thing I can suggest is looking carefully at the YouTubers you select to make sure they are legit. If possible, look into view retention (average view length) location of viewers, etc.

I am looking forward to playing on this server myself :)

Awesome! im getting off for tonight, but ill be back on tomorrow. Im really working on a budget and wont be able to hire youtubers at the beginning. It should be alright, from my past server owning experience i had around 13 ~ 20 players on a simple prison server with no advertisement at all. It surely died out as it was unique in no way, but i ended up making $900 USD. Cant wait to see you on the server, and any tips you have upon release or even now would be great! good talking with you.

What was the point of posting this here? This section is for selling servers not advertising or getting ideas. Both of those have their own area.

Glad to see you like the server idea, thanks for the input.

Ok funny boy. Just saying the thread has been reported and will hopefully be moved to the correct area. If you look at the what it says under "Servers" in the Minecraft Marketplace category it will say " Servers
Here is where you sell your servers that are either already setup and have a playerbase, or are just a setup. You may also post that you are in the market to buy a server, and people will comment their server for you to look at."

This is a "server". Therefor it's under the server section. I'm not advertising, notice I didn't leave the server address. AND the server isn't even complete. Hopefully this answers your question.
