The alliance world as it stands today. The benefits of an alliance over a Kingdom in game is simply a factor of available resources. Alliances attempt to provide their members with support both in direct action, as well as advice and a community to go to for aid when needed. 25 kingdoms is better than one kingdom, 50 kingdoms is better than 25, as the total sum of pooled resources available to any one individual member increases as size increases. The amount of organizational overhead increases as the size of any one alliance increases. Reporting becomes more critical and the overall manageability of any one alliance effectively becomes increasingly difficult. Most alliances are stable at the sizes they are currently at - growing too quickly through either recruiting or merger usually requires a restructure or reallocation of resources and extra training in order to support the additional growth. Most alliances have similar codes of conduct especially regarding main issues of OOW retals and 1 v 1 wars. Zen. |
