Organized Events	Community-run battles across NA, EU, AU, and AS — formats, participation, hosting, and expectations.

Organized Events: Community Engagements

Overview

Organized Events are the pinnacle of the Holdfast experience. These are large-scale, coordinated battles that bring together Regiments and public players across four global regions: North America (NA), Europe (EU), Australia (AU), and Asia (AS).

While public servers offer continuous action, organized events provide a structured, tactical environment where every volley and maneuver is governed by community-led administration and historical discipline.

Event Classifications

The Holdfast community hosts several specialized event types, each requiring different tactical approaches:

Event Type	Focus & Mechanics
Line Battle	Massive combined-arms engagements (Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery) centered on formalized volleys and movement.
Naval Battle	Strategic ship-to-ship combat requiring high coordination to manage broadsides and sails.
Siege	Objective-based warfare where attackers storm a fortified position held by defenders.
Skirmisher Only	High-mobility engagements featuring Light Infantry with an emphasis on terrain and ranged precision.
Artillery Only	Specialized ordnance battles focused on long-range devastation with cannons, mortars, and rockets.
Cavalry Only	Fast-paced, horse-based combat with dragoons and hussars, emphasis on cavalry charges.
Naval Siege	A maritime-terrestrial hybrid where fleets assault coastal fortifications.
Frontlines	Industrial-era territory control focusing on sequential objectives and trench warfare.

Participation Pathways

Participation depends on whether the event is classified as Public or Private.

Public Events: Open to all players. Announcements are posted on the Event Noticeboard in the Official Holdfast Discord. While individual sign-ups aren't required, regiments are encouraged to register their attendance to assist admins with team balancing.
Private Events: These are restricted to registered Regiments. Recruitment and slot allocation are managed internally by unit leaders. Solo players wishing to join these high-intensity battles are encouraged to Enlist in a Regiment.
Leadership Tags: Regiment leaders should request the "Events Enjoyer – Regiment" role in the Official Discord to receive priority updates on server status and sign-up windows.

Public vs. Private Infrastructure

Feature	Public Events	Private Events
Administration	Developer-approved admins.	Community/Regiment staff.
Ruleset	Standardized AGS developer rules.	Custom community rules (e.g., Hardcore).
Maps & Content	Official game maps only.	Optional use of Workshop Mods & Maps.
Platform	Full Cross-play supported.	Often PC-only if Mods are utilized.

Hosting & Administrative Requirements

Communities wishing to host officially sanctioned events must ensure the following logistics are satisfied:

Infrastructure: A dedicated, high-tick-rate server with stable configuration.
Staffing: A minimum of two active admins with a clear escalation policy for rule breaches.
Documentation: A concise, publicly accessible ruleset and sign-up sheet for headcounts.
Logistics: Advanced notice of any Workshop IDs for required mods to prevent connection delays.
Post-Event: Capturing results, screenshots, and gathering feedback for future balance adjustments.

Player Expectations

To ensure a high-quality experience for all participants, players are expected to adhere to the following standards:

Tactical Discipline: Follow your Officer’s commands and the host’s specific rules without delay.
Comms Etiquette: Maintain clear voice channels; excessive noise ("ear-spam") is grounds for removal.
Professionalism: Griefing, teamkilling, or exploiting mechanics is strictly prohibited. Report administrative issues after the round concludes to avoid disrupting the flow of battle.

-Organized events are community-run battles that bring regiments and public players together across multiple regions (NA, EU, AU, AS).
+== Overview ==
+'''Organized Events''' are the pinnacle of the ''Holdfast'' experience. These are large-scale, coordinated battles that bring together Regiments and public players across four global regions: '''North America (NA)''', '''Europe (EU)''', '''Australia (AU)''', and '''Asia (AS)'''.
-For public event announcements see: [https://discord.com/channels/306195621373542400/613794041850626049 Event Noticeboard].
+While public servers offer continuous action, organized events provide a structured, tactical environment where every volley and maneuver is governed by community-led administration and historical discipline.
-== Event Formats ==
+== Event Classifications ==
-; Line Battle 🪖
+The ''Holdfast'' community hosts several specialized event types, each requiring different tactical approaches:
-: Infantry, skirmishers, cavalry, and artillery fight in massive engagements emphasizing teamwork, volleys, and tactical movement.
-; Naval Battle ⚓
-: Ship-versus-ship engagements. Players crew vessels together, firing broadsides, managing sails, and boarding opponents.
-; Siege 🏰
-: Attackers storm a fortified position while defenders hold the walls. Heavy use of fortifications, choke points, and artillery.
-; Skirmisher Only 🎯
-: Light infantry–only battles with looser formations, faster movement, and an emphasis on ranged fire and maneuver.
-; Artillery Only 💥
-: Events focused entirely on cannons, mortars, and rockets, where artillery crews dominate the battlefield.
-; Cavalry Only 🐎
-: Fast-paced, horse-based combat with dragoons and hussars, emphasis on cavalry charges.
-; Naval Siege ⚓🏰
-: A hybrid mode where ships assault fortified coastal positions, combining naval gunnery with land defenses.
-; Frontlines ⚔️
-: A territory-control mode. Teams fight over sequential objectives, pushing the front line forward until one side dominates.
-== How to Participate ==
