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.
The State of War Timer 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.
| State of War Timer | Siege Prep Window |
| 6p.m. | 4p.m. - 8p.m. |
| 7p.m. | 5p.m. - 9p.m. |
| 8p.m. | 6p.m. - 10p.m. |

| 10p.m. | 8p.m. - 12a.m. |
