[GVE] Faction Leaders System

[Merlin]

Every army must have its own commander. Otherwise, the army becomes a herd of sheep, scurrying in fear from one side of the battlefield to the other.
The lack of a full-fledged command most often leads to defeat, as everyone does what feels right.
A similar situation is often observed in the game world of GVE. A huge amount of chaotic action without any plan or strategy. This situation can be remedied by someone who dares to take the reins of an entire faction to direct the actions of the players and represent their interests. The new Faction Leader System that we have developed specifically for the GVE server ahead of the upcoming launch will help us identify such a person among thousands of other players.

A faction leader is a player who has proven his right to this position through actions that prove his loyalty. He has the ability to use special extra features in the game, which will be explained later. The Faction Leader elections are held every 2 days and consist of two phases:

Stage 1: Registration

Registration begins at 14:00 (GMT+3) on the first day of elections and lasts 24 hours. Any faction member who is active in faction warfare and has a personal efficiency index of 300 or higher may apply for participation.    The efficiency index is the average number of Confrontation points a player earns in one day.
The minimum efficiency index is a dynamic value, which is set depending on the factions' earned Confrontation points for the day.
Throughout the Registration phase, any player who has not yet registered for an election will receive an appropriate notification when logging into the game, which will remind him of the upcoming election.

Stage 2: Voting

Voting for the new faction leader takes place from 14:00 to 19:00 (GMT+3) on the second day of elections. Any faction member can vote, but only once, choosing one player from the proposed candidates.
During the Voting period, there are a few basic rules:

• You can only vote once from one HWID.
• After voting you can not change your choice in favor of another candidate.
• You cannot vote for yourself.

For the duration of the Voting Phase, any player who has not yet voted will receive a notification when logging in, which will remind them that a new faction leader election is currently taking place.

Central Election Commission

NPC Lorn, who is located in the capital of each faction, accepts applications for the election and receives and counts the votes.
Depending on the stage of the election, one of his functions (Register/Vote) becomes available.

At 19:00 (GMT+3) of the second election day, after the votes have been counted, a new Leader of each faction is determined, about which the system notifies all players with the corresponding announcement. From the same moment the Leader receives access to additional functions, as well as a set of special items and skills for the duration of his reign (2 days).

Leader's Functions and Bonuses

Leader Chat
Since the Leader is the faction commander in chief, he must be able to use special means of communication with all members of the faction. Therefore, a player who holds the position of Leader becomes available to the new faction's global chat through the "_" symbol.
It differs from the usual global chat in that it has a different color, and also the messages that the Leader sends are displayed to all members of the faction on the screen.
For any in-game trade-related messages to the Faction Leader's chat, the player will be disqualified from using it and all other available chats.

Leader Commands
During combat, it is quite difficult to be distracted by the chat to command a faction's army. To make it easier for the leader to command units, we have implemented a set of special commands that can be used during battles.

Using a special .leader command, the Leader can open a menu with a list of available commands that display messages to all faction members within a 15,000 radius.

Цитата

The list of teams may change depending on how relevant these or those teams will be according to the players.
All commands are displayed in Russian or English (depending on the user's language in the .cfg menu)

Leader's SkillsIn order for the Leader to have a direct influence on the outcome of the battle, he gets a set of additional skills, which are issued to him during his rule (2 days).

• Leader Fortitude (Passive) - Increases Physical Protection and Mag. Protection by 1.000.
• Leader Aura (Passive) - Increases Physical Defense by 10%, Mag. Protection by 10% and Speed by 5 for the closest faction members (players and guards) in a radius of 2.000.
• Faction Invincibility (Active) - Makes the nearest faction members (players and guards) within 5.000 radius invulnerable for 30 seconds. Any action (attack/use of skills) cancels the effect. Recovery time: 20 minutes.

Leader's Bonus Items
The Leader is a special player, so he must stand out among the others not only by his abilities, but also by his appearance.
Therefore, every player who wins the faction Leader election receives a special temporary cloak, which grants its owner additional bonuses. The Leader is only allowed to wear the cloak for the duration of his reign.
Golden Cloak - Increases Max. CP/HP/MP 10%, Physical Defense by 5%, Mag. Shield by 10%, All Weapons Shield by 5%, Chance of Phis. and Mag. Crit. of Hit by 20, Protection in PVP by 10%. Returns 4% of the damage received back to the enemy.
In addition to that the Leader gains a set of useful items:

• 3.000 Aden
• 1.000 Greater CP Potion
• 5 Special Pirate Fuit

We want to believe that this position will be filled only by the most worthy and responsible players, who will really be able to use all their abilities to the fullest extent in order to make their faction the strongest in this eternal battle.

Warning! In subsequent updates it was changed: If there is only one faction leader online, his chat and aura won't work.
