Faction Caravans

Summary

At a random time each hour, a Faction Caravan will initiate for a randomized Faction, assembling at the Trade Caravan location for that town
Faction players will earn Faction Score for escorting the caravan, with Faction Score amounts increased if their faction is the sole faction present

Possible routes for Faction Caravans are as follows:

A system message will appear and sound will play when a Faction Caravan starts

If a Faction Caravan is in progress, a Caravan Icon will appear in multiple locations in the Faction Pages of the Guild Menu as well as appearing at the bottom of the Faction Hotbar
Players can click the small Orb button next to the Caravan Icon to see a map of the caravan's current location and begin a tracking arrow that will follow the caravan as it moves

Faction Caravans differ from Trade Caravans in several ways
Faction Caravans will always keep moving, regardless if they are being Escorted or not
Movement speed of Faction Caravans is somewhat slower than Trade Caravans
Faction Caravans do not experience Creature Encounters
Faction Caravans cannot be directly attacked by other players
Faction Caravans do not contain items, and instead players will earn Faction Score from escorting/raiding them

Once a Faction Caravan is underway, a Control Tick will occur every 30 seconds
During a Control Tick, all non-hidden participating Faction Players (of any faction) within 24 tiles of the Faction Caravan will earn 15 Faction Score
If during a Control Tick all players within 24 tiles of the caravan are of the same Faction, they will each earn an additional 15 Faction Score (for a total of 30)
Players will have a continuous Heat of Battle effect of 30 seconds in place while within 24 tiles of a Faction Caravan
Faction Kills that occur within 100 tiles of the Faction Caravan are considered Upgraded Kills (worth 200 Faction Score)
