Divide and Conquer Menu Explained
The Divide and Conquer Menu gives players and admin a lot of controll over the mod. In this discussion I will elaborate more on the different settings and what they do.

To open the menu, press N. If this doesn't work check if you can see a flag icon in the botton right of your screen. If this doesn't appear try respawning, restarting the server or reverting to a clean save. If it still doesn't show up the mod is not installed correctly.


Create New Flag Menu - Admin only
This menu is used to create a new flag grid on the map. To get to this menu, press the New Flag Grid button.

First you can set the Amount of Flags you want in each direction, the latitide and longitude. Check the map to see which direction the latitide and which the longitude.

The Capture Radius is the radius of the capture zone of the flags. This is in the units used by the Unreal Engine. One foundation is about 300 units.

The Capture Time is the time in seconds it takes to conquer a flag.

Show Borders determines if there are borders shown around the regions and flag capture zones.


Rules Menu - Admin only
This menu can be shown by pressing the Edit Rules button and here the rules that apply to the server can be adjusted.

Flag Locating determines who can locate a flag (more on flag locating later)

Region Building determines who is allowed to build within the regions (disabled regions do not count to this). For example Only Owners will only allow players from the tribe that owns the region build in that region.

Capture Zone Building is similar to Region Building but this applies to the building inside the capture zone of a flag.


Add Tribe Menu - Admin only
This menu can be reached by pressing the '+' above the tribes list. From the drop down menu select the tribe you want to add and press Add Tribe to add it to the participating tribes. Pressing 'x' in the tribes list removes the tribe from the participating tribes, they can't capture regions anymore.


Flag Options Menu - Admin only
This menu allows you to change properties of individual flags. You can select a region by clicking on it.

Set Flag Name allows you to change the name of a flag.

Set New Flag Ownership allows to to assign the flag to a specific tribe or set it to neutral.

Teleport to Flag teleports you to that specific flag

Change Location allows you to change the location of the flag and capture zone. Note that you need to stay in the region to which the flag belongs. You will get a notification when you press this button. Now press Enter to place the flag on the new location on nearest ground below you. (This can be used to place flags inside caves) Press Delete to cancel the placement.

Disable Flag will disable that region, it can't be captured and the flag in that region becomes invisible.

Is Base Flag locks the ownership of that region. The region can't be capture by other tribe and thus allowing the owning tribe to safely create a base there.


Flag Details Menu - Non Admin only
This menu can be viewed by players (non admin) by selecting a region.

Here you can see the flag name and ownership.

Locate Flag will spawn a bright beam (similar to drops) above the flag, the color depends on the owners of the flag. This allows players to easily find flags in large regions.

Hello. This mod is very good but it has a serious problem: When we restart our server, it resets the capture time to 10 seconds . I think the easiest way would be to add at least 2 lines to the "GameUserSettins.ini" file, including one line to indicate how long we want to capture an area.

hi, im using this mod on a private server with friends, it´s nice but i think it can be better if you config more options like, builders on regions, no only all owners or nobody, this need to put also allies of owners for can build epic regions for kindoms. And to be perfect one automatic disable white flags, only with this 2 changes will be a nice mod to rp. Thanks for read.. if you change it i think we play with this mod, if dont update this things i think will be cleaned this mod of mine server

Can someone give a link for a server with this mod I can't find servers:(

Would it be possible to have the “locate flag” on the admin side as well? If not by default then by config options? We are playing this on a private server and 2 of us are admins but don’t want to abuse it by teleporting to find flags and would like to have a locate flag option on our side as well.
