First I dislike the current wardec system I think it is pretty weak. Currently you have to mutually agree to be at war with each other? What, yeah that is how every war has worked.... ever, in any universe.
Wardecs should cost money. A mutual wardec should be less expensive than a forced wardec. But there needs to be an alliance system.
The stipulations for a forced wardec is simple. Has to have a a Guild Stone... No guild stone no forced war. You cant receive or issue a wardec. You are basically guild in name only. Wardecs can end if both sides agree to end them at no cost. Wardecs can also end if one side surrenders or their guild stone is destroyed. If the guild stone is destroyed their guild collapses and must be reformed, thus behooving them to surrender. Surrender conditions will be set by the issuing wardec guild. Basically if you surrender you will be forced to pay the victorious guild how ever much gold they set as the surrender amount. But this goes both ways. The issuing war guild setting the surrender amount finds they are losing and needs to surrender then they will forced to pay the guild that defeated them the amount they set at the beginning of the war.
Example.
Guild A forces a war on Guild Z. Guild A sets the surrender condition to 1000 gold. After several weeks of fighting Guild A finds it bit off more than it can chew, and is losing and at risk of losing their guild stone. So they choose to surrender. Well now they will be forced to pay 1000 gold to surrender and that gold goes to Guild Z who is the victors.
