Alliances & Heists

An alliance is a sworn brotherhood of keeps. Members share a private chat, a shared treasury, alliance-wide buffs, and access to week-long cooperative caravan heists.

Founding & Joining

  • Any commander can found an alliance from the Alliance page — a name and a short tag are required.
  • Members contribute Gold and Writs to a shared treasury the leader spends on group buffs.
  • Leaders can invite, promote, and expel — leadership can also be transferred.

Alliance Buffs

  • Production boost — timed increase to every member's resource ticks.
  • March boost — timed reduction to every member's march time.
  • Shield boost — timed extension to every member's defensive shield.

Caravan Heists

  • Leaders can launch a week-long caravan heist; any member may join.
  • Each joiner pays an entry fee in Gold and donates troops to the raid party.
  • Success chance and total loot scale with the combined power donated.
  • On resolution, loot is split by contributed power and troops (mostly) return home.

Communication

  • Alliance chat channel is private to members only.
  • Faction chat is shared with everyone wearing your faction colours.
  • Global chat has separate trade and support channels for the whole realm.
