Roles and hierarchy

An Alliance can have a maximum of 100 members.

There are 5 roles and 5 levels of ranking. All alliance members should follow orders coming from R5 and R4s.

Roles

• Leader: Typically, the founder of the alliance sets the goals and rules. Appoints R4s that will help him to manage the alliance. This role corresponds to R5 ranking.
• Warlord: Responsible for planning and strategizing attacks, defenses, and expanding territory.
• Recruiter: In charge of finding the best warriors in the server and to recruit them to become the most powerful alliance in the server.
• Muse: Inspires team members in times of war and peace, fostering creativity, maintaining morale, and igniting passion for collective goals.
• Butler: Welcomes new recruits, acquaints them with shared goals and plans, and assists in their smooth integration into the alliance.

Rankings

Role	Description	Max number
R5	Leader of the alliance	1
R4	Crucial alliance members,assisting the leader in management	8 (up to 10 recently)
R3	Key players in the alliance, demonstrating substantial contributions and strength
R2	Crucial players, tirelessly bulding our robust alliance
R1	Rising stars and pillars of our alliance

At the initial days of the game alliance members receive some milestones rewards based on their rankings (the higher the ranking the higher the rewards), but after that rankings are mostly used in an arbitrarily way by the alliances, based on what stage they are.

Example of use once duel vs start:

• R1: newly added members to the alliance, that need to prove their value
• R2: players that are not that active or earn to few points in daily duel, they might risk to be expelled
• R3: active players, crucial for the game play and the duels, they are part of the core of the alliance
• R4: active players that know how to manage an alliance and help each member

Abilities

The R5/Leader has additional powers over the alliance:

• Appoint R4s and assign roles
• Call alliance assembly to recall members of the alliance to teleport to the alliance hive
• Rally started against the marshall during alliance exercise will cause +5% damage

R4s can (R5 by extension can also do the following actions):

• Change rankings of all alliance members except R4/5
• Approve or kick members of the alliance
• Start war on villages
• Start and manage alliance events like: alliance exercise and desert storm
• Rally started against the marshall during alliance exercise will cause +5% damage
• Can change the Alliance Assembly Point on map

Alliance with inactive R5

Sometimes it happens that the R5 of an alliance becomes inactive and doesn’t play anymore, for these cases the game has a rule in place:

• if the R5 was not online for 24-48 hours (I know it’s too wide as a range) the R5 role will be passed to another R4 that has been online in the last 24 hours
• if no R4 qualifies it goes to a R3

[From my experience 3 months ago there was a bug and it went directly to a R3 after 48 hours of inactivity of our R5]

Join an Alliance

A member can join an alliance only if it is not part of another alliance. So first go to alliance button, settings and click on leave alliance.

Once you are not part of an alliance any more you can use one of the following methods to join a new alliance:

1. Click on the recruiting link that was shared in world chat (or language specific chat) by the R4/R5 of that alliance
2. Identify in chat a member of the alliance you want to join, click on his avatar, than on the button alliance and then on Apply. It might take some time to be accepted, you need to be patient and it would also be good to text the “Recruiter” of that alliance
3. Click on the alliance button, that will display a list of alliances, you can chose which one you want and apply.

Please consider that alliances can set requirements regarding minimum HQ level and power level, that could not allow you to apply.

R4 and R5 of an alliance can create a recruiting link (it has a cost of 200 diamonds) to share on the world chat (and language specific chat) doing the following steps:

1. Click on alliance button
2. Settings
3. Invitation Link
4. Choose chat to send link to
5. Confirm

Alliance Techs

Access the Alliance Techs through: Alliance -> Alliance Techs

The Techs are divided in 2 categories:

• Development
• War

One of the most important, that is the first of development section, is the Auto Rally, that allows automatic participation of members to rallies when they are offline. So even if a member is the only one online he can start a rally and it will be automatically filled by alliance members squads.

Auto rally

After a recent update of the game it is possible now to opt-out from auto-rally (it’s better to leave it enabled to help the alliance).

To do so go in the normal game view, click on your avatar in the upper left corner, click on settings and scroll down until you see the auto rally settings:

How to contribute/donate

To contribute to an Alliance Tech the following rules apply:

1. for each donation to a tech that is not recommended you earn 50 EXP and alliance contribution points
2. for each donation to the recommended tech you receive an additional +20% reward: so you earn 60 EXP and 60 alliance contribution points.
3. moreover donations have a chance to trigger a critical hit, yielding additional tech EXP. The odds for critical hits are:
   • No critical hit: 45 %
   • 2x critical hit (an extra 50 points of Alliance tech EXP): 30%
   • 3x critical hit (an extra 100 points of Alliance tech EXP): 15%
   • 5x critical hit (an extra 200 points of Alliance tech EXP): 10%

To donate: click on the recommended tech and then on Donate either with coins or diamonds.

Commanders have a cap of 30 opportunities to donate to Alliance tech using Coins. Each donation, critical hit or not, consumes one opportunity. When a commander’s available donation chances fall below 30, they’ll gain one opportunity every 20 minutes.

There’s no daily limit on the number of times commanders can donate to Alliance tech using Diamonds. However, the diamond cost for each donation increases with the number of donations made, still it is possible to donate an unlimited amount of times diamonds. After 20 minutes the amount of diamonds to donate will decrease gradually. The cost starts at 2 diamonds for the first donation and increases by 2 diamonds with each subsequent donation, up to a maximum of 50 diamonds.

The suggestion here is to always use coins for donation as diamonds are a rare resource in the game.

Donation rankings

Rewards are provided to those who donate more in the alliance tech.

You can access the donations rankings and the donation ranking rewards to check which bonuses you will receive. Rewards are provided both daily and weekly.

Alliance store

Being part of an alliance allows you to access the Alliance Store. Alliance -> Alliance Store

The Alliance Store features very helpful power ups items that can be claimed in exchange for alliance contribution points. The amount you can claim of each item is limited in time and the store resets those limits after a countdown that is visible at the top of the alliance store.

Suggestions:

When claiming items in the alliance store take into consideration that:

• Construction/Research/Healing/Training speed ups can only be bought in the alliance store, so they should be the preferred item
• Golden shards and Drone Parts are very rare and should be also preferred items
• Rush to buy the rare items only before the countdown reset, don’t fall into the temptation to consume all alliance contribution points as it is better to keep them and spend them at the next alliance store reset if no rare item is available any more.

IMPORTANT: if you leave an alliance you will NOT lose your alliance contribution points, but you lose access to the Alliance store, so you will be able to use those contribution points only once you join an alliance again. Alliance contribution points you earn will be stored in your inventory.

Alliance Gifts

Another perk of being part of an alliance are the Alliance Gifts, that are of 2 types:

• Common: rewarded for each rally started by an alliance member
• Rare: rewarded for each purchase made by an alliance member

IMPORTANT: you have to manually claim these gifts

Additionally the higher the Alliance Gift level the more features unlock for your Alliance:

Before leaving an alliance

Before leaving an alliance make sure you took the following things into consideration:

• once you leave an alliance (or you are kicked out) there is a 1 hour cooldown before you can join a new alliance (or apply to one)
• you will not be able to claim dig treasure rewards (or other types of special rewards) for 24 hours since the moment you join the new alliance
• donate in alliance tech because when you join a new alliance donation counter starts again from 0
• get all the alliance gifts else you lose them
• if a duel vs is running make sure to leave the current alliance on Sunday to receive current duel vs rewards.
• buy all you need from Alliance Store because while you have no Alliance you can’t access that store (don’t worry you will not lose the alliance contributions point you have, but you can’t use them until you join another alliance)
• while you are without alliance you will not be able to start rallies or to participate in any event that needs rallies (for example doomsday)
• teleport far away from your current alliance, it often happens that people see you without alliance and attack you

When leaving an alliance the game will show you additional conditions if new conditions were added:
