Alliances

Founding an Alliance

To found an alliance, you go to the alliance tab and you type in a name and click 'found alliance' and a new alliance will be founded. To set up the alliance, there are a few things you will have to do first.
*Note: it is not advisable to create an alliance the first time you play since it can be quite a bit of work. Playing in other alliances can give you the experience needed to create a well run alliance.
*Note: Alliance names can only contain up to 24 characters.

Recruit
To start out, you can send invites to lots of players nearby hoping some will join or you can aim for a few select members and either recruit them before the world opens or send messages to them in-game. There is also the option of advertising your alliance in the external forum, find your world's forum and make a thread under the sub-forum Alliances.

Create protocols
You will need to create some set of protocols, such as the restrictions of who may join your alliance, whether all of your members get invite rights to start, etc.

Create forums
Set up a nice forum on the alliance forum tab, you can create and edit new tabs in the administrate forums link in the bottom right hand corner. (Note that only an alliance founder can set up the forums, only they can create or delete tabs. Forum moderators can only move and edit posts).

What makes a good forum?
The most basic of forums should include-

Announcements (Where leaders can post important announcements for the alliance to see)
Support (Where people can request support)
Questions/guides (This one depends on how many new players you have in your alliance).
Council (This section is normally hidden- use it to discuss things with your fellow leaders if you have any!)

Other sections include-
Off Support (Short for Offensive Support- Where people can post asking for help attacking a target).
Market (Where members can post requesting resources- this is a good tactic as it means that resources are staying in the alliance).
Off topic (to have some fun)
General (where members can post with things they consider important).

Create a profile/publicity
You should make sure to choose an image for your alliance, a banner and create a profile. A profile is usually something like this: Alliance name: The Spartans Points: 10000 members: 10 Profile: Spartans have ruled the western civilization for centuries and shall not stop!!!! For recruitment and diplomacy, contact xxxx If you want to be or enemy, mail us, if you want to be our ally or NAP, then give up. So basically, the profile goes like this:

attention grabber, related to alliance theme or name
who to contact
something about allies and enemies and some sort of macho-like phrase about enemies
