An enhanced Alliance system is being developed to provide greater incentives for teamwork and organized combat. Alliances will have the ability to set "postures" between one another ranging from Allied to War. Here we will describe the current plan for "War":

An Alliance can choose to instigate a war with one other Alliance once per week. War is a mutual posture meaning that both Alliances are set at "War" with each other when war is declared. The target Alliance has no chance to avoid War although they can sue for peace after it has started. Only the Alliance Leader has control over setting Alliance postures and starting a War.

While an Alliance can start only one War per week they can be the target of other Alliance Wars and so could be participating in multiple Wars.

  • Now is the time to suggest ideas to extend the Alliance War feature! We are particularly interested in feedback around the following:
  • War bonuses: special bonuses that are generated from combat between warring Alliances.
  • Victory Conditions: what factors are used to declare a winner.
  • Fair Fights: how to stop large powerful Alliances picking on much lower Alliances.

    This is a wonderful new feature, my suggestion on the fair fight may be a rank point based on the average level of the players of the alliance and on the number of players. I will think with more time and come back!

    lol...5 out of 6 posts about Base Bombers...

    I think there should also be an option to mark other alliances as allies in a war and count their victories together

    I guess the leader should be the founder.

    you say that you declare war to the alliance...but only the leader can declare war. You don't need to know who is the other leader

    our alliance is like a confederation and as history tells it doesn't work but we will use popular vote to decide who becomes official leader.

    If you are going to provide an alliance feature, u will also need to provide an alliance-only chat, not just sector chat.

    +1 for this, also a private chat in-game would be nice so you can plan attacks with buddies.

    What I think would be best to prevent this from happening with this feature is give the smaller alliance a buff. For example, use like the average level for the alliances to determine the difference, and the smaller one may get like a buff in armor on thier ships or a buff in damage. This way it would make it fairer I think.

    no buff...but make that smaller alliances can start a war with big one but not the other way around

    i have to agree here with the level of players in each alliance should give the alliance a level based on that and have the same rule as base attacks i.e 5 levels each way or maybe 10 with alliance's as most alliance's i have seen have a lot of lvl 30+ players and the lower alliance's i have seen that i have stood with to help them although i am in BH i helped protect them from enemy alliance's of much higher level players so this is a great idea to keep with the 5 level gap rule already in place.

    Serious questions:

    What if a player is a member of more than one alliance?
    Would they need to decide which alliance they are going to keep?
    What if those two alliances go to war with each other?
    Will there finally be a way to determine who is a member of what alliance?

    How about an alliance leader board? When alliances win wars they gain points and will move up the ranks. This will stop all the arguing about what alliance is the best and will make it more competitive.

    You will only be able to be a member of one alliance at any given time.

    Yes, players will be able to see the name of your alliance.

    Alliances should be able to get clan tags or whatever Call Of Duty has for 4 digit call signs and it will be set by the alliance leader.

    what if a person has a bigger alliance than another but your alliance is spread out so noones close and in the smaller 1 everones close and what if everyone in ur alliance doesnt want to help is there any way u can make them also its really hard to comunicate with each other can we just have an actual alliance chat so we can decide what we want to do faster instead of checking the main news up date on ur alliance page

    point 1: i think there should be some thing similar to bym, like higher HP for turret and ships (+20%), a bit more damage from weapon (+20%). and also you can relocate away any time you want if you are in the battle sector, but once away, you can't come back until 7 days. and maybe a bit more range for each base, which let you reach 2 sectors instead of 1.
    point 2: easy, when other ally surrender. surrender must be voted by more than half of the members. or, both alliance set a damage point, when 1 alliance reach the damage points, they lose.
    point 3: this is very difficult, some big ally like SOS can easily kicked small alliance's ****. i think it should be like this:
    either the alliance with more points (over the other alliance by around 100m) will receive a nerf on all things, or the lower alliance get a buff. the nerf/buff range will be depends on how much stronger is the other alliance. so like SOS attack a 1 player ally, and then sos will get 75% everything off while the 1 player get 50% everything up.
