Obelisks are here! The entire system is now activated and ready to be used.

The relevant help files are not ready yet, I expect that they will be available tomorrow. Until then, the important commands would be:

OBELISKS
AB SURVIVAL POWERCALL
AB PERCEPTION POWERNODES
AB ENGINEERING CHARGEBOMB
CONFIG OBELISKREPORT ON/OFF

The associated event is still ongoing, so the obelisks won't be capturable until someone has successfully built the generator. In order to do so, you need to collect the metallic rocks. Ten rocks are required, and once you have them, the command BUILD GENERATOR will start the process. The command is only available to those with the War citypower. The generator should be built in some publically accessible room, so that your citizens can start putting mob corpses into it (PUT corpse IN GENERATOR). I will keep the event running until all the cities and councils have collected enough rocks to build their generator.

A freshly built generator will hold enough energy to be able to attack one obelisk right away - this means that whoever will be the first to build a generator will get a first pick. Capturing an unclaimed obelisk takes roughly a minute. If you aren't the first one to build a generator, you can either pick one of the unclaimed obelisks, or attempt to capture an obelisk held by another city or council. This process will be detailed in the help files - basically, you need to hold the obelisk for an hour, and the OBELISKS command can be used to monitor your progress. If the defenders manage to dislocate the attackers and hold the obelisk, the timer will start ticking in the other direction.

The whole system is taking place on off-continent islands, of which 9 are currently available, and more will likely be added later.

In case someone finishes their generator before the help files are ready - the commands to use the latter three obelisks are FOCUS ARYANA, FOCUS MORADEIM and FOCUS SUKHDER. Effects of the other three obelisks are passive and have no associated command. FOCUS ARYANA will work even if you do not control the obelisk, it can be used to get out of Dis after a three-minute delay.

Have fun!
