📖 How to Play

1. Make an account on this site, link your Java name and/or Bedrock gamertag (Xbox · PlayStation · Switch · mobile), and add your Discord.
2. Wait for an admin to approve you — then you're whitelisted and can join.
3. Join: Java → play.unschackle.com. Bedrock / PC / mobile → add server play.unschackle.com, port 19132. Console (Xbox · PlayStation · Switch) → follow the “Console connection steps” on the dashboard.
4. You spawn on the main world. (To hop between the main and test worlds, ask your Nutler or use a server portal.)
5. Claim a plot from the War Room (below), name your kingdom there, then talk to your Nutler to learn the rest.

The war map is 2000×2000 blocks centred on spawn, a 6×6 grid of 36 plots. Each plot is 150×150 blocks with buffer gaps between them (no-man's-land). You own one plot. Claim it two ways:

• Stand inside an open plot in-game so you can see it, then claim it from the website (next).
• Claim it on the War Room map — tap an open (green) plot and confirm. That’s the one and only way to claim.

Name & colour your kingdom from the War Room (Kingdom panel). Your land’s edges glow in your colour and your kingdom name floats above your Nutler. Control who may enter / build / break from the War Room’s Land access panel.

Claiming land spawns a Nutler (a special villager) on your plot. The Nutler is your life: if an enemy's soldiers destroy it, they capture your plot. Players can't kill a Nutler by hand — only soldiers can siege one. Right-click your Nutler to open his menu:

• Talk — ask him anything; he knows the whole game and your server.
• Arsenal — buy WeaponMechanics guns & explosives (cash auto-charged, no item hand-over).
• Sell Barrel — sells everything in the barrel he stands on (the icon shows its total value); empties it and pays you.
• ⚔ Wardogs War Shop — soldiers, battalion batons, war missiles, repair, the Commander's Baton, a deposit chest.

Cash ($) buys everything in Wardogs. The main way to earn it: every Nutler stands on a barrel — open that barrel (aim at its sides, below the Nutler) and drop in loot, then right-click the Nutler and click Sell Barrel to sell the whole barrel for its shown value (it empties and pays you). Also earn by looting raids, crate prizes, and beating AI kingdoms. Almost every item sells; rarer items (diamonds, netherite, nether stars, elytra) pay the most, and you get the full per-item value × the quantity.

Hire soldiers from the War Shop (cap 40 each). Each new soldier costs a little more than the last:

Gear them up by right-clicking a soldier while holding armour or a weapon — equipped soldiers survive longer and hit harder. Soldiers have a unique name, great pathfinding, and will even dig through blocks to reach a target.

Organise your army into up to 5 battalions you can command as a group:

• Grab battalion batons (free) from the War Shop → Battalion Batons. Hold Battalion N's baton to command that battalion.
• Buy into a battalion: when you recruit a soldier, a picker asks which battalion it joins (or “No Battalion”). It spawns at that battalion's spawn point and holds there.
• Set a spawn point: hold a battalion baton you own, left-click to open the order menu, click 🔮 Set Spawn Point, then right-click a block. (Default: a clear spot next to your Nutler.)
• From the War Room you can assign soldiers to battalions, rename battalions, and move a whole battalion to a map spot (they march safely — no mob damage off your land, no attacking en route).

Grab the free Commander's Baton (commands your selected soldiers) or a Battalion baton (commands that whole battalion). Holding a baton:

Orders: Follow Me · Home Defense · Go To · Attack Enemies · Attack Nutler · Hold Position · Deposit Loot. You can also order all your soldiers at once from the War Room.

Set soldiers to Home Defense and they patrol your plot, fight hostile mobs and enemy raiders, and collect dropped loot. Designate a deposit chest by sneak-right-clicking it with the Baton (or grab a Soldier Deposit Chest from the War Shop and place it), then order Deposit Loot and they'll haul everything into it.

Buy war missiles from the War Shop → Missiles. They're aimed from the website map, separate from the hand-held WeaponMechanics rockets in the Arsenal.

Aim it from the War Room: switch to Target mode, click the exact spot, and Launch. Flight is ~20 seconds and blast size is hard-capped, so missiles soften a base — they won’t flatten the map.

Form alliances from the War Room (Players/Alliance panel) — both players toggle the alliance and it forms. Allies’ soldiers won’t hurt each other and you can use each other’s Nutlers/War Shops. Form one early — shared defense is hard to crack.

Don't want your own land? Become a citizen of an existing kingdom. From the War Room, request to join a kingdom; its owner approves you. As a citizen you share the kingdom's soldiers, missiles and cash vault and fight under its banner — but you don't get land-ownership controls (only the owner claims/renames/sets permissions). Leave whenever you like, and the owner can remove you.

The map isn't just other players — hostile AI kingdoms (e.g. the Raider Clan) seize unclaimed plots, build forts, garrison their own soldiers, raid nearby players and sometimes fire missiles. Their tyrant overlord taunts everyone in chat.

• Anyone can raid them. Smash their fort and send your soldiers to destroy their Nutler.
• When their Nutler falls, the plot erupts with loot chests — grab the spoils. This is PvE: the land does not become yours.
• The ruined plot resets to pristine after ~20 minutes (anyone inside is moved to the edge first), and a fresh enemy kingdom rises somewhere else.
• Admins set the difficulty (garrison, gear, walls, raids) and whether enemies use missiles.

To take a rival plot, send soldiers set to Attack Nutler to destroy their Nutler. When it dies the plot becomes yours and the Nutler respawns working for you. Soften the base with missiles first, then push the Nutler.

Repair battle damage: use the Repair Base button in the War Shop / War Room (costs cash; faster tiers cost more; only works when no enemy soldiers are nearby).

Save & rebuild your build: from the War Room (Land panel), Save snapshots the 50×50 area around your Nutler. Later, Rebuild pays to restore it to that saved state (it shows the price first). Chests and their contents are never overwritten, so your stored items are safe.

• Tactical map — real rendered terrain under the plot grid; drag to pan, scroll/pinch to zoom. Live players (cyan=you, green=ally, red=enemy) and your soldiers show on it; coordinates appear under your cursor. Terrain refreshes hourly so new builds appear.
• Claim by tapping an open plot; Target mode to aim missiles; Move battalion by tapping a battalion number then a map spot.
• Kingdom name/colour, soldier & battalion orders, land access, citizenship, and 🏠 Fast-travel to your Nutler (when it's at full health with no enemies near).
• Server Map button opens the full live 3D BlueMap of the world.

Use the Discord and 🔊 Voice Chat buttons on your dashboard, and add your Discord username to your account so admins can set you up. In-game voice runs through the MINECRAFT SERVER voice channel — join it to talk while you play.

• Gear your soldiers before a raid — armour and good weapons swing fights.
• Keep a battalion on Home Defense at all times so raiders (and AI kingdoms) can't waltz in.
• Set battalion spawn points at your gate / walls so reinforcements appear exactly where you need them.
• Build real walls — soldiers dig through, but it buys you time to respond.
• Soften a base with a missile, then push the Nutler with soldiers.
• Raid the AI Raider Clan for free loot — the land resets, so it's a renewable payday.
• Form an alliance — or become a citizen of a strong kingdom — early.
• Save your build (War Room → Land panel) after you finish, so you can cheaply rebuild after a war.

Fell a whole tree in one go — no command, no setup:

1. Break any log of a tree and the entire tree falls at once.
2. A sapling auto-replants where the trunk was.

On by default for everyone. Daily limit ~50 trees. Works on Java and Bedrock/console alike.

No typing commands — everything is done three ways:

If you're ever unsure, right-click your Nutler and pick Talk — he'll walk you through anything.
