# War approvals

> Ask Milcom for permission to beige an enemy or take them below 40 resistance

Some war actions need Milcom approval. Ask before you beige an enemy. Ask before you take an enemy below 40 resistance.

## Request an approval

Any alliance member can request approval. Use the command in an Immortals server.

1. Run `/request-war-approval`.
2. Set `type` to **Beige** or **Below 40 Resistance**.
3. Set `war_id_or_link` to the war ID or a link to the war.
4. Add a `reason` if you want to explain the request.

The bot posts a war report to the channel. The report shows both nations, their military, their active wars, resistance, and MAPs. If a war room exists for that enemy, the bot links it.

## What happens next

1. A Milcom officer clicks **Approve** or **Deny** on the report. Only Milcom can click these buttons.
2. The officer can add a reason.
3. The report turns green for approved or red for denied. It shows instructions for continuing the war.
4. The bot pings you with the decision and a link back to the report.

A beige approval also covers below 40 resistance for the same war.

## Direct approval (Milcom)

Milcom officers can clear a war without a member request. Run `/approve-war` with the same `type` and `war_id_or_link` options. The bot records the approval and confirms it privately.
