Johnny Costello Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) So. I've been thinking. Some of us can't build alliances and want to, or don't have the resources or the money to do so. This will serve as a game of sorts to build your dream alliance, post a flag if you so wish. And give the government members you feel would best fit. Give your FA direction and a small synopsis of your mock alliance. We can judge them as we go. And see who has the best ideas. i will start with mine as am actually working towards this lol. Alliance name: Sinister Sister Souls color: Black flag: Government. FA head. Johnny Costello (myself) IA head @evilpiggyfoofoo (Arrgh) MA head @Insert Name Here (oblivion) FA direction. MdOaP with Nuclear knights, Alpha, and Fark NaP with World Task Force, Spanish Armanda and Stratagem. This alliance will aim to be small in numbers. About 12-15 members. City builds will be for 3k infrastructure and nuclear powers. The bank will offer first 12 city's and nrf .

Buorhann Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Here's a couple of questions I've always tried to find answers to when people create new alliances. - Why do you feel the need to create another alliance? - What's the purpose/goals behind it? - Why would I choose your alliance over a larger alliance with better growth programs? - How do the treaties you want, pertain to your goals? - In short, what's in it for me (The generic player)? Sell the idea of your alliance to me. Quote Warrior of Dio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfPCFQfOnLg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insert Name Here Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) Since there aren't any knight themed alliances around here, my alliance would be called the Turd Knights. Gov lineup FA: Catsby MA: LPS Econ: Clarke's sister IA: the jack of all trades, the almighty Vacant Propaganda (Recruitment Staff): the HBE recruitment bot Brown would be the alliance color and we'd have just 1 treaty (the most legit of them all) - a PIAT with Noobs Army.

Dio Brando Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) Although I don’t particularly have an idea for an alliance right now, I’ll drop this post - hopefully it helps someone that wants to start an alliance I wrote up a huge wall of text a while back - part of which discussed this. I’ve seen one too many alliances fail, and the reason that that happens is usually not due to external factors (necessarily) but more due to internal issues the Government doesn’t know how to handle. So, I’ve listed down a couple of things you should have down before you go ahead and make an alliance: Know Yourself, Find your Identity: a. What’s the goal? b. What sets you apart from other alliances? c. What kind of players are you attracting? b. Experience, and your own strengths Limits? What are those? b. Some alliances set artificial upper limits to the number of members they will accept. I’ve micro-managed 50 member alliances in war, and almost never failed them, but above that? My micro management’s efficiency will start to fall. c. Government types are also necessary to building a proper alliance - iNCi from eRep followed a very primus inter pares method of operation, and it worked for them. It might not for you. Is your MilCom centralised or decentralised? (Shoutout to Rose here last war) d. Artificial score inflation, keeping inactives, tax farms - are you okay with this? IA wise: a. Community building mother!@#$er, can you do it? b. Raising, and maintenance of activity on boards/Discord c. Guides - hit me up if you want one, I have written most down. Econ: a. Micro level stuff - audits, maximising profit etc. b. Macro Econ plan - growth rings Corollary 1. Tier’ing, artificial city upper limits. Corollary 2. Optimal taxation - Kemal would be more knowledgable than me on this, but the principles of taxation are similar in game - if you cross a certain threshold in terms of monetary/resource income, you’re potentially incurring massive losses in other areas (activity, desire to stay in the alliance, individual growth) MilCom: I will defer to people like vanek and Senry’s opinion here (you should see these guys go man) but the general outline for MilCom remains similar. I think micro MilCom stuff is pretty explanatory, so let’s go to this: a. Is micro management a thing for you or no? b. Discord activity is imperative to winning. c. Is your micro section looking good? Guides, knowledge of war mechanics, etc. For Macro: Macro-MilCom FA: Oh boy, boy o boy. I could go on about this all day, but let’s go over one very simple rule: Often times it doesn’t matter what you do, what matters is how people perceive that action. Remember this. 1. Learn how to spin things your way (narratives) 2. Keep a diplomat team if you can, when I was FA I did practically all work by myself, because I could. Find what suits you, implement. 3. Treaty chess - !@#$ is that? Simply put, you need to be capable of planning long term - looking at the bigger picture is more important. Your treaties should be based on two primary things, for the major part: a. FA policy alignment and Friendships b. Suitable addition to fighting capability (offensive: complimenting your tiers by adding to the places you’re weak in | defensive: adding to similar tiers so you have more backup) Above all, don’t give up ever. If you do that, you’ve lost the game. Other Skills: 1. Math 2. Spreadsheets 3. Programming Learn. Use. Prosper. (ps: I wrote this all on mobile so there might be a crapload of mistakes xdxd) Edited January 17, 2018 by Valen Stormblessed 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
