Benefits of being in an Alliance[]
There are many benefits to being in Alliances, but the number one is being able to have a community in which you can seek help and advice in the game. You also have group activities such as Plantation wars , and benefits such as Alliance Research(See Below).
How to Join or Create an Alliance[]
You will be able to join or create an Alliance once you have selected a Kingdom. To select a Kingdom you must first beat Baldwin IV of Jerusalem , then you can move to Bordeaux (Charlemagne Kingdom ), Bari (Caesar Kingdom ) or Belfast (Arthur Kingdom ).
The Emblem[]
The Emblem is not only the first thing people see when looking to join an Alliance but it is also the status of the Alliance. When an Alliance levels up its Emblem it not only improves the graphics of it, but it also adds more member slots. More member slots means your Alliance moves up on the list of Alliances when people are browsing them.
The contribution that comes with the insignia also transfers should you move to other Alliances. In addition, every day a certain percentage of your contribution is sent to research which you set to default, this help your research level up faster. This is why, it is important to determine where research should be defaulted.
Plantation Wars[]
Plantation Wars grant you more chances to harvest Grain. No matter whether you win or lose you will recieve a lot of contribution and Silver by participating in Plantation Wars. It is also great way to PVP with your Alliance. Only Alliance Commander will initiate these battles(Alliance lvl 10) and they take place at 7:20p.m. server time or later (depending on how many Alliances have signed up for that particular Plantation).
