Rebellion Mechanics introduces a complex and engaging layer to the game, allowing players to challenge the existing ruler under specific conditions. Here’s how it works:

**Initiating a Rebellion**

* **Conditions for Challenge**: To challenge the current ruler, the ORDER in the region must be low, indicating a situation ripe for rebellion.
* **Requirement for Challengers**: The player initiating the rebellion needs to have at least one legacy hero.

**Preparation and Support**

* **Formation of Armies**: Upon initiation, two armies are created on the region map – one for the current ruler and another for the rebel leader.
* **Support through Donation**: During the preparation phase, users can contribute to either side by donating heroes and squads. In return, they receive bounties for their support.

**Siege Battle Dynamics**

* **Battle Duration**: The siege battle, pivotal to the rebellion, spans several days or weeks. Its outcome depends on the army sizes, skills, and time invested.
* **Active Player Participation**: During the battle phase, players can engage in smaller PvE battles to weaken the opposing army. These skirmishes utilize squads and troops from the players' personal stock.

**Outcome of the Rebellion**

* **Victory and New Leadership**: If the rebels successfully take over the city, the rebellion's leader becomes the new lord. The ousted lord retains their account and farm but loses their ruling status.
* **Defeat and Consequences**: Failure to conquer the city within the attack time frame results in the rebel's defeat, and the existing ruler maintains control.
* **Fate of Donated Forces**: In the event of a defeat, players who supported the losing side lose their donated squads, although their heroes are returned to them.
