The War system allows villages to go to war with each other to try and hinder their progress, promote raiding, and to win a net sum of Village Funds (20,000 total possible) at the end of the war.

When two villages are at war, player-kills between them will result in that player's village losing structure points in a random village feature. The structure points are listed in the Town Hall, under the 'War Status' page. The war only ends when one village loses all of its structure points, or the village surrenders.

If a village surrenders before losing all of their structure points, they still lose a portion of their structures depending on how many points were lost.

Structure points are awarded and lost as such:

• offensive kill (kill the enemy in their village) - enemy loses 5 SP
• neutral kill (kill the enemy in neutral territory) - enemy loses 3 SP
• defensive kill (kill the enemy in your village) - enemy loses 1 SP, village heals 2 SP.

Losing a war means your village loses up to a level of hospital, shop, rob defense and wall defense, in addition to up to 3% of its current regeneration rate.

Villages may also enter into Alliances with each other. This can be used to team up with another village to wage simultaneous warfare against a common enemy. The number of villages involved in the war does not affect structure points in any way. Nor does a village joining a war late affect them.

Quick Facts about Ally-Statuses

• Neutral means free-for-all. You can raid them without fear of repercussions.
• War means you should focus your efforts on them if you are good enough at raiding. Knock them out before they do you.
• Ally means you should NOT attack them, under any circumstances. Killing an ally from another village at any time will cost your village some of its Village Funds. Killing one of your own merely results in a deduction in your Village Respect.
  • Allies have the ability to answer each others' calls for help as well as heal each other via the medical ninja occupation.
  • When in the allied village, one also has access to the village's Tavern, Black Market, Item Shop, Lottery and Ramen Shop.
