Greetings, gods and goddesses!
I have noticed a few common questions popping up in my alliance chat, so I thought I'd provide some information here to help new players better understand how alliances work.
I have a separate guide for alliance strategy ideas and troop placement tips which you can check out here.
Answers to FAQ:
• Donating troops to help allies does not take anything away from your own base/defences/resources.
• You can donate troops to allies an unlimited number of times. The only limit is the few-second cooldown between each set of troops you drop.
If your troops ever stop spawning, it's probably the result of brief lag, a connection issue, or the main player quitting the game. Sometimes leaving the battle and re-joining will fix the issue.
• There is no limit to the number of alliance members who can join the same battle.
• The strength and number of troops you drop is based on the main player's stats, not your own.
For attacks, the strength and quantity of ally reinforcements will depend on the number of gods the main player has, and their gods' average level.
When defending an ally's city, your troops' strength and quantity will be based on the number of temples in the ally's city, and the temples' average level.
• You can share battle replays with your alliance members, either immediately after the match via the share button, or by accessing your attack history > details > share.
• You can view the bases of your alliance members by tapping on the gear tab, selecting a player, and tapping "visit", or by tapping on their name in chat.
• Leaders, generals, and captains have different levels of moderating abilities within an alliance. Depending on their rank, they may promote, demote, or kick members, make announcements, participate in officer chat, and change the alliance description and requirements. Leaders may choose to assign roles to help keep the chat clean and friendly, and some alliances reward active members with promotions. This is an optional feature and does not affect gameplay.
• There is a maximum of 100 members per alliance. There are a couple of larger alliances from before the cap was introduced, but the developers will be splitting these into smaller groups in the near future.
• Campaign levels are single player so they cannot be joined or shared by alliance members.
• It is currently not possible to share ally sparring replays, but it has been suggested to the developers for a future update.
• You cannot donate resources to allies such as gold, stone, gems, or nectar.
• No resources are currently awarded for assisting allies, but several people have requested this feature be added. If you feel this would improve the game, let the developers know in the feature request thread here. Even without a resource bonus, alliances are a great way to get an edge against harder opponents, take part in extra games while your nectar recharges, and connect with a fun community of players.
Update: You now gain +3 nectar each time you drop troops to assist your allies!
• Alliance rankings are calculated based on a weighted percentage of each member's trophies. The top 10 players in the alliance contribute a higher percentage of their trophies than the next 10, and so on. The lower half of players will have a minimal effect on overall alliance trophies.
• "Sorry, this battle is no longer available." If you join a game and get a screen of clouds followed by this message, it usually means the player you tried to assist closed the app or received a phone call, etc. It may also be a sign of connection issues with your device if you keep seeing this message (a red wifi symbol on your city screen will confirm this.) Check your internet connection, or try restarting the app.
Feel free to reply to this thread if you have any additional questions.
You can find answers to many questions in the game's Help section (left tab), or by clicking on info buttons (for battles) or icons (at the top of the home screen, such as gems, gold, nectar, etc.)
