Guide to Alliances

As I mentioned earlier today, I have finally joined an alliance, and even though I still feel that it is completely unnecessary to join one, now I feel that alliances make the game more fun. You get to actually chat with people instead of messaging them every time, so with a bit of social skills, you can strike up good conversations. Not only do alliances have chats, they also have supply, as shown in the screenshot below. As you can see, my alliance, PATRIOT, has a ton of wood, stone, and coins in our supply, but we lack rubies. If your alliance can store up a certain amount of rubies as well as other resources, then you can improve your alliance by allowing more members, and many other power-ups such as increase travel speed, increase loot, and so on. Unfortunately, no one is able to withdraw any resource from the alliance supply box, so everything stays until it is used up.


Another feature about alliances is pacts and truces. As shown below, your alliance is able to make pacts, where you are not allowed to attack each other and promise to support and help each other. Your alliance's pacts are shown at the left column of a page similar to the screenshot below. The middle column is for non-aggression truces. That means so long as the truce is existing, neither side of the agreement is allowed attack each other. I believe that for both pacts and truces, there is a limit of five other alliances that you can form pacts or truces with. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Now, on the very right column shown below, is the alliances that your alliance is at war with. This means that people in those alliances will more likely attack your castle with no reason other than war. Try to never strike up a war, especially if you have a low level, you will get destroyed.


Finally, allow me to wrap up with some other features of alliances. Alliances are able to level up, and they level up from collecting glory that members of that alliance earns. Once the amount of glory that is required is met, your alliance will level up and gain resources, coins, and rubies. It also makes your alliance look better to be a higher level, and I'm not sure if your alliance level can fall since you lose glory points every day.
