Timo's Nations Client

Welcome to the Open Beta for Timo’s Nations: Control & War, a JourneyMap-integrated territory and war mod built for long-term multiplayer servers. This beta is about stress testing the core gameplay loop: nations, capitals, cities, outposts, readable borders, controlled expansion, and structured wars that create clear objectives instead of random griefing.

What this mod is:

Timo’s Nations turns chunk claiming into an actual strategy system. Players form nations, place a capital, and grow their territory through cities and outposts. Every claim is tied to a building, so regions make sense on the map and borders stay readable even when the server has many nations and a lot of history.

Claims, regions, and controlled growth

Territory is building-based:

• Capitals anchor your nation
• Cities expand and strengthen connected territory
• Outposts project power into remote areas

Expansion costs scale with connectivity. Growing from connected land is cheaper. Creating disconnected colonies costs more. This forces real choices: expand safely and efficiently, or pay extra to establish a distant foothold.

Regions are assigned using proximity and path connectivity so chunks belong to the most logical building. Buildings also define protection rules and inner-ring ownership to prevent confusing overlap and messy borders.

HUD and JourneyMap overlays

The mod is designed to be readable. It includes in-game HUD panels and JourneyMap overlays that show:

• Ownership and borders
• Region assignment
• Inner and outer rings
• Claim costs and expansion status
• Contested and vulnerable areas during conflict
• The goal is “understand it instantly” without digging through menus.

War systems

War is a core feature. Nations can declare structured wars with:

• Capture mechanics and vulnerable targets
• Timed phases
• Ticket-based outcomes

Real-time HUD and map feedback for objectives and contested zones

• Battles should have clear goals and clear results.
• Open beta goals
• This beta exists to find weak points fast:
• Balance issues (costs, rings, progression speed, war pacing)
• Edge cases (overlap, connectivity, region assignment weirdness)
• Exploits (abuse loops, bypassing rules)
• Performance issues (large nations, many claims, busy servers)
• Feedback and rule
• There will be channels for bugs, improvements, and critiques.
  
  Two Rules:
  If you critique something, include a realistic improvement idea. Pointing out a problem is good. Proposing a fix is better.
  
  Important notes:
• I will not patrol or moderate normal gameplay on the test server. Do whatever you want within reason.
• If you find an exploit or unintended abuse method, report it so it can be fixed before full release.
• DO NOT hack. DO NOT crash the server. DO NOT dupe. Please keep testing fair so we can get clean, useful results.
