Inspired by the Federation's motives, Negotiators step in and try to resolve matters peacefully... with minimum amount of casualties.
Scouting phase
The federation deploys flea scouts to keep track of enemy's movements. Attack is strictly prohibited, all guests are welcomed. The federation considers whether to deploy force or not.
Defcon 5
Ward phase
The federation employs local workers to capture metal and farm energy. The venom spiders proved especially effective at keeping forces away, while widows are capable of taking on more... big problems. If hostility was present, the forces enter the NAP doctorine: Enemy units are allowed to be turned to wrecks, but not destroyed, when possible.
Defcon 4
Capture phase
The federation takes out skilled negotiators to take out skirmisher and riot troops: Dominatrixes are deployed. To ensure they capture their target, knights, imps, newtons, faradays are deployed. The forces enter the CAPTURE doctorine: Enemy units are to be captured and salvaged, if possible. No more destruction is needed.
Defcon 3
Rebirth phase
The federation employs dantes to purify the captured units through the hardship of flames, athenas to rebirth the fallen ones, scorpions to take out major riots. Racketeers, gnats, djins, transports, all to settle bigger scores! The forces enter the REBIRTH doctorine: Enemy units are to be resurrected as part of the wellbeing program.
Defcon 2
Overthrow phase
The federation has failed all negotiations. No matter the efforts, the enemy refuses to yield, insisting on needless destruction. Starlight is to be employed, but only for intimidation, and only to take out the enemy's core units. After starlight is deployed, and the enemy refuses to yield, the land is full of farms, and a new core is made for the enemy,
do what must be done.
Defcon 1.
If we have a free-for-all scenario, then ensure that all sides have equal strength to us, or better. Leave the fight with minimum casualties if possible, the transports are cheap. However, if we suffer any casualties, do not leave the land: Pay the price for blood shed. That is our doctorine.
