Feedback Thread: Alliance Features

[Guest]

We've done this before, and Design would like to hear more! What sort of new alliance features would you like to see (besides alliance wars)? What features would you like to see improved?

As always, please be respectful and on topic. Off-topic comments will be moderated!

1. Daily missions where alliance members can work together to beat and get bonus loot or trade goods (like a co-op single player campaign style)
2. Alliance war/battles
3. Allow alliance members to swap trade goods 1 for 1. Limit to 10 trades per day.
4. Allow leader to set rewards to alliance members. I would like to put up my own food/gold/trade goods to a member that donate the most troops in a week or gets the most medals/per week.
5. Some sort of notification system for us leaders to know when was the last time a member was online. Want to have more tools to see who is inactive besides troop donation.

More privileges for Leader and council. Maybe 15% loot bonus and 15% loot refund? The leader and council would share them, he will decide how to distribute them among council. Every player can have a max of 4 or 5% per bonus.

1. Replays sharing/showing last battles of each base

2. Alliance unions when alliances can combine

3. Alliance upgrades and resources donation

P.s. Greeks may request up to 50k resources instead of troops from alliance

There are a few things which are necessary but still missing for alliances. 1) A message of the day so leaders can communicate important information to the alliance 2) alliance replays sharing. I think we're all tired of describing things to alliance members 3) and possibly a few more alliance ranks with more or less abilities. Aside from those, some sort of ETA for alliance wars would be nice. With every upgrade taking over a week in Industrial Age the games really starting to grow stale. In an alliance as advanced as ours people don't have much to do anymore but wait.

Ability to send private messages to alliance and NON alliance members(people who are on our fiends list). Or a friend chat window in addition to the alliance chat we already have. In every alliance ive been in people jump from alliance to alliance to chat with friends theyve made along the way

 

[dbukalski]

A colored indicator next to each members name green = logged in within 24 hrs, yellow logged in within 48 hrs, red = more than 48 hrs since last log in.

 

[dbukalski]

Small battle bonus based on rank in alliance. Or daily small crown reward for rank. Or weekly crown reward for rank. Crown reward scales with alliance league rank so its better to be #7 ranked in the top alliances than it is to be #1 ranked in a # 20 alliance

Dbukalski for the love of gawd, stop with the multiple postings.

Nathan Win basically nailed it. Give us this and the game has amazing playability. That and replay sharing. Except I'm willing to wait till replays are fixed and not the pack of lies Tim Train concocted to screw with me.

I think allowing alliance member to swap trade goods is reasonable request. But the developer can simply avoid people abusing it by setting a high tax charging. For example, I want one fur. I can use three metal to change. Another player wants metal and has fur. He can take my bid and pay three fur to get one metal. Of course i also only get one fur.

 

[Redgar]

Oh, it was 10 times more in his head, so he packed it quite well, so it is not deleted lol ))) but he talks about cool features, tho.

 

[JuDomines]

Replay sharing of course. Swap trade goods but also ressources. Be able to observe other battle, live. Shared mission/challenge. An alliance super wonder, lets call it Totem for instance that require multiple player to fund it with ressources (maybe require a weekly total donation of X million ressources) and gives some bonus to the whole alliance.

 

[Porcupine]

I think chats could be improved too, like the ability of sharing links and pics maybe. A profile customization as well. Work on the social aspect of the game.

We want to be able to send other players in our alliance ressources and trade goods. When I was in low ages I had tons of diamonds but rarely gold or food. Now in industrial age it is the other way around. I would like to request und donate them.

 

[Denquin]

Trade good trading?

 

[dbukalski]

Trading resources makes balance difficult. I think they want diamonds rare

 

[Redgar]

With all cheats around, any meaningful exchanges is a bad feature, but players will always want it.

How about a "Help me out here" button. Let's say an upgrade costs 5 million, and I've got 3/4 of the resources. I want to be able to set aside my money for that upgrade, and then hit "Help me out here" to get resources from alliance members. This helps in two ways. First, if I run out of time while trying to farm for an expensive upgrade, my resources are no longer at risk. Second, I frequently find I have 500k+ resources left over after I log off, which I would happily donate to an alliance member if they had a "Help me out here" request going. To limit this perk, you can only have one upgrade going at a time thanks to "Help..." and you must have something like 3/4 of the resources put down towards that upgrade before you can request.
This would also be a huge bonus for newer players joining their friends. As an IA player, it costs me nothing to help a Classical player with their resources. This helps newer players catch up to their more experienced alliance members.

Allow players to donate one citizen for a single use.

This is a bit random, but I think alliance members should be given more detail when observing different member bases... a look into library/armory upgrades, building levels, etc.
I can understand why this feature is, and shouldn't be, available when viewing a random player's base though.
