War Participation
How armies are created at war start and how they automatically take part in wars.
Related in Armies: Armies on the Map | War Participation | Army Power
When a new war starts, the server creates two armies in the war city automatically: one for home side and one for away side. Players do not manually spawn these armies.
Key behavior:
- war city is selected by the server
- heroes are moved to the same war city
- two side armies are generated with race-based army keys
- armies are inserted to map data and shown in that location
These armies are automatically part of the war calculation. Players can still join the same war as participants, but base army forces are already fighting from the start.
When war ends, armies at that war location are removed and hero positions are reset by war resolution flow.
