Commands and Mechanics

The entire Command & Conquest system relies on the use of the Shard bot and the #command_and_conquest channel found on the Thegye Discord. All commands and mechanics are listed here for ease of reference. Review the Guide and Manual for additional information.

Note: all commands come with complete descriptions within Discord. You can view all the C&C related commands by typing /cnc. Most commands are not usable in DMs. While slash commands and components make using Command & Conquest on mobile possible, we do not recommend this for mobile-only users. Proceed at your own risk.

Base Commands

/cnc register [nation name] [color]: this command registers you as a new user. The first requirement is the nation name variable, which should be a creative and interesting name. It should not include a prefix, as that is set by the Government Subtype of the nation. The color variable should be a hex code (e.g., #481274). If the color provided is too close to a taken or reserved color, the register command will fail.

/cnc info: this command sends the current information about the entire Command & Conquest system.

/cnc turn: this command sends the current turn, as well as when the next turn update is in your timezone.

/cnc view map: this command opens the map menu, which provides four map modes: Main (which displays the base map), Terrain (which displays the terrain without numbers), Geography (which displays the names of locations), and Nation (which displays the owned/occupied territory of all nations). Click each button to display each mode. Note: it is highly recommended to open all maps in browser for the highest quality.

/cnc view locate_province [province id]: this command generates a map file highlighting the specific province provided in a bright pink color to help users locate a specific province on the map.

/cnc view market_values: this command displays the current market values for each of the 30 Trade Goods produced across the map.
