ConceptReverie Fort Wars is intended to combine elements from Fort Wars and fantasy RPG servers to create a team-oriented player-versus-player survival game. Players begin in a hostile world with nothing but their fists and their wits and must craft weapons and build a safe haven to ensure their survival. Groups of players can band together to form tribes and gain favor with religious deities which can be used to enhance their buildings or summon magical allies.
Players have compared early gameplay to Minecraft and Rust.

MechanicsDeath
- Upon death, you will lose 3 randomly selected items in your inventory (not your equipment) (you can lose no more than 20% of the amount of a stackable item that you possess). These items will remain on your corpse, which lasts for 60 seconds.
- You can loot the items from a corpse by activating it.
- You can butcher a corpse to obtain flesh, bones, and blood by attacking it.
Totems
- Totems are used to claim ownership of an area and to protect the bricks you have placed within an area around the totem.
- All players are able to see when they are in a totem's area of effect and the name of the totem's owner.
- All totems provide some level of damage reflection, which will cause players who damage those bricks to receive a percentage of the damage they deal.
- Players cannot place bricks in a totem's area of effect if they do not have build trust with the owner.
- Totems do not affect players who have full trust with their owner.
- Totems do not affect themselves.
- For now, players can only place one totem.
- In the future, totem material will only alter the totem's own durability and will have no bearing on the amount of durability, damage reflection, etc. that it provides to other bricks. These properties will instead be gained by spending religious favor.
- List of totems:
- Wooden totem: 1% damage reflection, doubles HP of bricks
- Stone totem: Increases tier of tools needed to damage bricks, 1% damage reflection, doubles HP of bricks
- Flesh totem: Bricks regenerate 2 HP per second, 2% damage reflection, doubles HP of bricks
- Surtra totem: 1.5% damage reflection, quadruples HP of bricks
- Obsidian totem: 4% damage reflection, doubles HP of bricks

New Player's GuideGetting started
- When you spawn, check which environment you're in. If you see grass or stone, you're good. If you see snow or sand, pick a direction and keep walking until you find a different environment. Avoid red biomes - these are flesh biomes, and they are very dangerous.
- You can open the menu by pressing your brick plant key (default: enter on a laptop, numpad enter on a desktop). You can navigate the menu with your brick shift controls (default: IJKL on a laptop, numpad 2468 on a desktop).
- Use your fists to gather some wood from trees and other plants. You need 32 Wood to make the Wooden crafting tools.
- Make some Wooden crafting tools with /craft Wooden crafting tools or by selecting them in the menu under Crafting > Weapons and tools > Crafting tools > Wooden crafting tools. The crafting tools will be placed in your inventory (NOT your equipment) - they cannot be equipped, and are only used for crafting.
- Gather 48 Stone and 8 more Wood. Craft yourself a set of Stone crafting tools, and then a Stone pickaxe.
- Equip your new Stone pickaxe with /equip Stone pickaxe. You should be able to figure the rest out from here.
Tips
- You can place a spawn point to set your spawn point.
- Place a totem to protect your fort. Totems will make nearby bricks more durable and will cause players who damage them to take damage themselves.

Frequently asked questionsDo items have durability? - No. Item durability may be added in the future, but only equipped items would lose durability, and then only when you die.
What is the best material/sword/armor? - Sanguite/Sinnite. Crystal is occasionally distributed by admins, but will be obtainable by participating in your tribe's religion in the future. You can also obtain crystal by killing players who possess it.
Why can't I equip the pyromancy wand/the ossi totem/the sangui wand? - These items do not yet have models and are not scripted.
How can I get Nithlite/Sinnite? - They are synthesized with the photometallisynthesis lens. How the lens works is a mystery that you'll have to solve yourself.
Is Nithlite/Sinnite better than Sanguite? - Nithlite has the same qualities as Calcite, and Sinnite has the same qualities as Sanguite. However, armor made from these materials will grant a slight bonus to magic attacks.
It says I need a Wooden bow to craft a Faerie bow, but I have one! - The wooden bow needs to be in your pack. Use /unequip Wooden bow and try again.
