Hello Dawners!
Many thanks to those of you who participate in our beta, it’s a great help.
We’re coming close to finishing all features and starting the stress test.
We’ve finished coding the Battle Engine, so please go and start waging wars and report any bugs you encounter in the results.
The alliance size was also increased to 24 members, so please let us know if you like that new alliance size or you prefer the old 12 members.
Thank you!
Michael

Yeah, the 24 members are awesome, but dont you think that will cause problems keeping track, updating, and creating missunderstandings? So much members will get confused, you’ll also have tons of messages when you log on. I think the alliance and the alliance’s sub should be connected to one link. But yeah, 24 members have a good side also, crazy wars stated by Agent Smith, and youll have better protection and greater help to supply resources if need. All in all its a win, win!

Yeah, the 24 members is meant to alleviate the issue of sub alliances. It was not the intention of development to have sub alliances, as that was a user-developed notion. In many instances it imbalances a server having so many sub alliances that casual players cannot compete. It is our hope that by allowing 24 members in an alliance, there will be no, or little need for multiple alliances for one team.
Allowing sub alliances to defend eachother, or to be “linked” in the fashion you suggested will certainly exacerbate the issue of imbalance on a server by letting alliances grow too large. Again, it is our hope to alleviate the desire or need for these sub alliances by allowing a singular team to have more members.
Thank you all for your comments!
