Hi, and welcome to EmpireWar!
This is a guide to one of the best Siege server you will ever find on Minecraft!

Getting Started

When you first log onto the EmpireWar Siege Server (IP: lotr.empirewar.org), you will find yourself in a huge lobby. The lobby has 4 main parts: The VIP Lobby, The Daily Present/Team Selection Section, the Hall of Fame and the welcome platform. You will spawn onto the Welcome Platform, which is essentially a platform describing and welcoming you to the EmpireWar LoTR Siege Server. It also displays the heads of some staff members. Walk down the steps in front of the Platform and turn left, you will come to the Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame showcases the players with the highest killstreak, amount of kills, highest amount of deaths, score, etc.
On the right you will find the VIP Lobby. All donators can enter via jump pads built into the floor. The VIP Lobby features several rooms for just chilling out, a fun parkour and a King Of The Ladder Minigame.

So, onto the most important part of the lobby! The Team Selection and Daily Reward Section. First, the Daily Reward. This is a chest on the right side of the room. Clicking it will give you a number of points or a useful power-up like +1 Power on your Bow, Extra Food-Boost, etc. There is also a Daily Jackpot of 1000 Points. The Chest has a 24-hour cooldown, so don’t forget to come back everyday for some goodies!

The Team Selection has two parts, one for the “Good Guys” on the left, and the “Bad Guys” on the right. Right Click on the signs there to be teleported into the Team Lobby. There, you can select a class. Do this by right-clicking the signs on the class blocks. There are 4 kinds of classes:

Earning Points.

To earn points, which you can use to purchase Point Classes, you must either kill, capture flags or be the best player in the game.

Killing an enemy will give you an amount of points corresponding with the number of kills the enemy had made in that life. For example, killing someone with 0 kills that life would give you +1 point, killing someone with 8 kills that life would give you +8.

Capturing flags.
Capturing flags gives you +25 points, on Erebor +10. This is one of the easiest ways to get points fast! To capture a flag, simply stand near it.

MVP (Most Valuable Player)
The MVP of a game is the best player on the team! The person with the highest score will receive 100 points at the end of the round!
How score works: Assisting=+1 score. Killing=+1 score. Capturing a Flag=+10 score
Killing a NazGûl: +5 score.

Repairing Gates.
You can repair a gate by right-clicking it with constructor wood. This will give you +15 points.

I hope you have a great time in the EmpireWar Siege Server!

I went on vacation for a week, this update came out along with two new guides. Now I'm not really sure if I should bother updating mine.
