ALLIANCE

ALLIANCE

• Joining an alliance is critical in LoU.  The game is much more fun and you'll learn a lot from the people you play with.  Although an alliance is not required for game play, you'll be missing out on a lot of game strategies and content without an alliance.  You cannot win without an alliance.
• You can access alliance information by clicking on the alliance button at the top of the web page while logged into the game.

ALLIANCE OVERVIEW

• Incoming attacks - Lists attacks against the alliance members (Provided that they have a Defense Minister. If not, many of the information will show up as ???).
• Defense history - List of attacks against your alliance in the last 72 hrs
• Outgoing attacks - List of current and scheduled outgoing attacks from your alliance members (Provided that you have the rights to view outgoing attacks.) Many alliances hide this information to prevent spies
• Offense history - List of outgoing attacks from your alliance in the last 72 hrs
• Enlightened cities - List of enlightened cities of your alliance member.  You can also view/set palace priorities from here.

CREATING A NEW ALLIANCE

• In the Alliance tab, If you’re not already a member of an Alliance, the option to name a new Alliance, along with its abbreviation, will be available. Simply fill in these two pieces of information, click create alliance and you've created your own Alliance.

JOINING AN ALLIANCE

• If you want to join an existing alliance you need to get an invitation. When you receive an invitation you will get a report to inform you. Once you have received an alliance invitation the option to accept or reject it will appear under the alliance tab.
• If you receive an invitation while already in another alliance you must leave your current alliance before you can accept the new invitation.
• Usually, to get an invitation, you will have to ask someone already in the alliance for one. This can be done in world/continent chat or by PMing someone already in the alliance. Remember that, no matter how mighty an alliance is, if there aren't any other members near you then they will be little help in a tight spot.
• Clicking on an alliance name, either from a player’s information page, or from the alliance ranking page will give you some brief information about the alliance. The leadership members of the alliance are a good place to start if you are looking for an invite.

ALLIANCE NUMBERS

• The total number of members allowed in an alliance is set at 100 players. With the maximum number of cities set at 1001 per player, that gives the potential for 100,100 cities per alliance.

VIEW PROFILE

• This shows the alliance’s abbreviation, total number of members, the title of its highest ranked member, total points, average points, defeated opponents and alliance description. This page is public in game.
• The description is a good place to say if the alliance is taking new members and to give contact information for prospective members.
