List of useful tips

This list of TIPS is dynamic and will change as we discover and learn new things about the game:

1) Don't have more islands than you have titans to defend them. Undefended islands are a temptation for others to attack. Of course, if you WANT people to attack you, then it's different! LOL.

2) There is a group of "neutral"/"waste"/"unowned" islands on the map. I find the location keeps changing but is generally near the "Titan Shard" challenge islands.

- You can raid or capture these islands for resources.

- Islands will repopulate as they dwindle. But if the island group has no mines/farms/shard islands, spend 50 gems to refresh the islands.

(Update: there is no more 50 gem cost to refresh. The islands will refresh automatically every hour. However, I haven't seen any mine/farm/shard islands appear yet in any refresh.)

3) Get your alliance camp up to level 3 at least so alliance mates can send you good reinforcements.

Culling the inactive

Hello everyone,

Our alliance is very active which is good. We want to keep it that way. When you all were invited, we explained that if you were inactive for 5 days or more, you could be kicked from the alliance.

We understand that at times, life just gets busy and you may not log on for a few days. Drop me a WhatsApp @ +6591828357 so I don't eject you by accident. Or if you have already been kicked out and want to come back in, drop me a message too.

Keep burning!

On Alliance Culture

I am very happy with how active our alliance is. Let me just recall the culture we set in place that made us what we are today, and to encourage our members (especially new ones) to continue the positive mindset.

1) We have a culture of updating each other on alliance chat. We share about our progress as we achieve milestones. This has made things fun as we fought together and progressed together. We also built up a great friendship as we chatted and encouraged each other.

2) Because we progressed together, most of our members are of similar levels. This has meant we can give and receive reinforcements easily. Our reinforcements are all worth about the same number of points. We have a good culture of giving and getting reinforcements.

3) When someone attacks us, we respond as a group and because most of us are of a similar level, we have a good time defending each other as a big gang.

4) We have a LINE chat group and also share with each other about our vanilla lives. We even celebrated the birth of the son of one of our members.

5) The recent game-wide Storm of Summoning event really bonded us together as we fought hard for Bakris and Ja'gans.. looking forward to the next event!

Rules of Engagement (Pre Season 62)

Start of Season:

1) Maintain discipline - no starting any fights, no raiding, no capturing land.

I want the moral high ground in any alliance vs alliance fight. Let others "throw the first punch". Our alliance will then retaliate.

Fighting in the Season:

1) If some player "throws the first punch" and attacks you first, let the alliance know on Alliance Chat or WhatsApp.

2) Tell us the name of the player, his alliance and whether he raided you or captured your islands.

3) Our alliance will help you to retaliate if you need help.

4) Keep the retaliation commensurate with the attack. If they raid us, we raid them in return. If they capture our lands, we capture their lands in return.

5) Avoid capturing their lands if they only raided you.

6) If any of our alliance members "throws the first punch" and starts a fight, the alliance will not defend that member.

7) Avoid starting fights with alliances with higher level players than ours.

End of Season:

1) Once the kick and re-invite process has started, avoid gaining more VP.

2) If you must gain VP after the K&R process, and your VP causes our alliance VP to jump considerably, leave the alliance before season end and message alliance leaders for a re-invite.
