Factions and territory control for DayZ

Give groups on your server something to fight over. Factions get their own tag, role, private channel and treasury, and with territory control they claim squares of the map by building a flagpole in game.

Factions run from Discord

Players create a faction, invite friends and pick a DayZ flag. Blxckforge can give everyone a [TAG] nickname and role, make a private channel for each faction and keep a shared treasury members pay into.

Territory control with flagpoles

Split the map into a grid. When a faction member finishes a flagpole inside a square, the server log shows it and the square becomes theirs. Until you've tested flagpoles on your server, each claim waits for staff to approve.

Take an enemy's flagpole down and the square becomes contested. Build your own in time and it's captured. You choose how long, whether staff confirm captures, and whether it only happens during raid windows.

  • Private intruder alerts when hostile players are seen in a faction's square
  • A live picture of the map in Discord, updated whenever a square changes
  • Optional buying of squares from the faction treasury with /faction buy
  • A public territory map on your server's page, if you want one

Honest about what the game allows

The game itself can't stop anyone building a flagpole, so ownership is your server's record kept by Blxckforge. Staff can assign, release and settle any square by hand, and every change is kept in a history.

Common questions

Does territory control need mods?

No. It reads the building events DayZ already writes to the admin log, so it works on PlayStation, Xbox and PC servers on Nitrado.

How are intruders detected?

From the player list the server writes every few minutes, plus building, hits and emotes. Someone running straight through a square between those moments can be missed, and the alerts say what was seen rather than guessing.

Which plan includes factions?

Factions and territory control are part of the Server and Pro plans.

Can players see the map without Discord?

If you switch it on, your server's public leaderboard page shows the territory map with each faction's squares. It never shows player names or positions.
