Siege Preparations Window
This is the 4 hour time period in which guilds are allowed to token and begin siege preparations at guild provinces. This mechanism prevents tokens at non-peak times, giving defenders a chance to stop the token attempt.
Siege Preparations Window
The State of War Timer also determines the Siege Preparations Window, which is the 4 hour time period that a "token" can be placed on a province and Siege Preparations can be completed. It is sometimes reffered to as the "Tokening Window."
Siege preparations may be started from 2 hours before the State of War timer, to 2 hours after the State of War timer. All times are shown as LOCAL TIMES to reduce confusion.
