I am really interested in this and it sounds like a fun idea. I just have a couple suggestions.
1. As for the way to win the war, once a faction wins a predetermined number of zones (for now I will use 10, but the number could be more or less) they get a super-kit and plunge the world into an endgame. Each faction would have to do something different and what they have to do could change from one war to another. The world can be taken out of an endgame if the factions fail to complete their task in 72 hours or if it does not meet the requirements given.
Earth: Once Earth wins 10 zones, they will need to build a Fortress that creates a new Underworld on top of the surface world.
Air: Once Air wins 10 zones, they will need to build a Wall with a moat to stop the spread of Water and Fire forever.
Fire: Once Fire wins 10 zones, they will need to build a Citadel that would carry lava throughout the world thereby burning everything.
Water: Once Water wins 10 zones, they will need to build a Tower and once at the top create a waterfall to flood the world with water.
Nature: Once Nature wins 10 zones they will need to build a Universal Tree which would be 50x50x150, thus ensuring the survival of the forest.
2. Add a mercenary rank. Mercenaries would have no alignment like explorers and builders. Mercenaries would have a couple basic warps, for example a warp to a special area for each alignment. (probably on the outskirts so they cant get cheap kills) The different factions could then post jobs for mercenaries that they would do in exchange for special building materials. Normally mercenaries would only be able to get stone, wood and iron. But through jobs they can get almost any material.
3. Eventually add an Ice alignment, Electric alignment, and Void alignment.
Ice wants to freeze the world over. They would need to stay near a glacier or else they will melt. They would be able to use stone, ice, snow, glass, cobblestone and iron. They are enemies of Fire, Water and Nature. Their allies are Electric and Air.
Electric wants to industrialize the world. They would be forced to stay near power plants. They would use redstone, iron, gold, coal, brick, TNT, glass and minecarts. They are enemies of Water, Nature and Earth. Their allies are Ice and Fire.
Void wants to bring The Nether to the surface world. They can build as much as they want in The Nether but on the surface they have to stay close to a Portal. They can use lightstone, netherstone, mud, obsidian, gravel, lava and stone. They are enemies of all elements and they have no allies.
Anyway I really hope that this works out because it would be awesome to plunge the world into square chaos in a server wide war.
thats basically the idea behind our game that it will be a world wide war over determined zones. We do have plans to allow for each faction to enter into an endgame of sorts where they will be given the ability to take over a seriously large chunk of land which will allow them an upper hand in the game for some time. however we want to also keep the game balanced so that once a zone is claimed by a faction (no longer contested between them and another zone) the idea would be for it to never be able to fall into enemy hands ever again as the contested zone would then move closer to an enemies base.
I'm the dev behind these underlying themes, our other admins are currently working (as well as myself) to build our themes for each faction. This is a HUGE project we're working on and anyone willing to hop on our test server to share your building ideas is more than welcome! currently though you will not be permitted to use any destructive/griefer items such as lava tnt bed rock and everything is being built on land anyways anyone interested in joining us and possibly see your creation as a structure that will forever be on our servers PM me!
Currently we need designers for the realm of fire, earth, and air.
I also want to thank you for mentioning adding other elements like the void and ice. I dont think that electric will make the cut due to the game being elemental based and the basis behind what you laid out for it would be more of an industrial human group.
Also fire is currently our stand in mercs but we will be adding a merc group in the future as it wouldnt fit with our would be lore for fire to be mercs for nature or water right? =P

and can we kill each other? kinda un clear
I'm not sure if minecarts work in multiplayer yet. Alot of servers i've been on so far they havent. If i'm mistaken though then minecarts will be added to Earth and maybe Fire. Water can use channels to make traveling quicker while nature and air at the moment have no transport system. (I'll test this out, the log in server is down at the momement so i cant check right now)
Our endgame however will be fought over the land in the center of the 5 factions we do not want capitals to be razed as they will be the focus point of peoples most ambitious building projects which we would like to keep in the server from the time they're created till the game crashes and is never brought back online (lets pray this never happens haha)
EDIT: Forgot to answer your question about the killing each other, Yes you will be permitted to kill other players, team killing however will not be tolerated however.
I also want to note that the razing of other factions structures outside of contested zones (there will be a contested zone for each warring faction) will also not be allowed. We want people to be able to enjoy an immersive PvP game but we also want to appeal to the many builders of the game.

i was refering to capturing the capital not destroying(although being able to blow up strong holds would be cool guys running at a tower with tnt blocks with the other team with bow and arrows or something)
but if fire is going to be near valcanos minecarts would make sense and can fire build above ground just near lava cause i have a thing about castles(mabey not good but loooooooooove castles)
and the idea of a gaint war is what ive always wanted

well you'll be pleased to know that we will enable a custom TnT to be used in contested zones to blow up opposing factions forts. The reason we're making our own TnT is so that people cant just hack the real TnT in contested zones and nuke them sky high haha.
Now you will be able to occupy an opposing factions capital, just note it'll be rather hard due to their spawn being there in the capital while yours will have to be set to your factions nearest base camp. Fire will be able to build above ground, anywhere they can direct the lava from their super volcano they can build. It'll be easiest to build below ground just because of the mechanics behind how lava and water path in the game. but above ground housing will be equally easy since the volcanos top will be near the sky wall.
