Buorhann Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) I was thinking about ways to encourage more warring between alliances, or at least have some incentive. This is just a rough idea that hopefully you folks can help me shape. The first idea is to implement a way to officially declare war in the game. Add in a text bar that allows you to type in an Alliance's name you want to declare war on. The database will search for said alliance and ask for a confirmation, at which said alliance leader can then "Accept or Decline" the war declaration. Afterwards, say in 5 days of time, there's a Surrender button to hit for either alliance that's involved in war. Again, it'll ask for a 2nd confirmation before implementing it. I'll explain more on this system: - Add in a Alliance Banner to be taken. Similar to the "treasures" in the game, except it's alliance wide. These will be displayed on the Alliance page that has 'taken' said banners. - First banner will give a 10% income increase. Every other banner after that will have diminishing percentage increases. - Only way to obtain a banner is for an alliance to "surrender" ( See above ). - If your alliance has no banner, you cannot benefit from bonus' of conquering other banners. - If your alliance has no banner, obviously other alliances that declare war on you cannot get a banner from you - they'd have to get it from the alliance that holds it. There's only one of each in the game. - If your alliance conquers another and they have multiple banners, you can choose which banner to take ( 1 at a time ). So you can retake your own, take theirs and stop their bonus, or grab another alliances that may be held by your opponent. -This war system has a month long cooldown time. -Banners and War Declarations will be shown on the Alliance Page of each alliance. Now some other notes: Obviously this wouldn't stop wars/battles/raids outside of this system. In order to prevent abuse, you can only declare once every 30 days in order to try and obtain other alliances banners. Example: *Mensa HQ declares war on Guardian. *5 day cooldown begins. They war. *After 5 days, Mensa HQ surrenders to Guardian. *Guardian's Alliance page now has the Mensa HQ flag icon to show off their achievement and benefit from a 10% income alliance wide bonus. *In order for Mensa HQ to try for a bonus, they have to get their banner back in any means possible ( Whether it's having an ally of theirs grab and later transfer it back to them, which would take months to do; or taking it back themselves through war; or politiking with Guardian to have Guardian surrender it back to them; etc ) Some other thoughts: Should this only be obtainable to Top 20 alliances? Top 15? Top 10? Or all?What about alliances that disband? ( I'd think the bonus would then be nullified after a month and leave an emblem of the conquered alliance as a past historic trophy moment on the page ) Edited October 16, 2015 by Buorhann 1 1 Quote Warrior of Dio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfPCFQfOnLg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Doesn't really work. People can manipulate it. using your example. After Mensa surrenders to Guardian they can do what you suggested above OR they can manipulate by disbanding the alliance and create a new alliance ( maybe name it New Mensa or etc) then the so called benefit of winning the war is gone. You cannot possibly benefit from a banner of a disbanded alliance right? - so that suggestion is open to manipulation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd hope some alliances wouldn't let it happen, or make moves to prevent it. Basically it'd further the case of playing politics. You can either petition alliances to surrender their income bonus to you or help protect yours, or you can be the alliance to rally up others to take it away from another alliance. etc. 1 Quote Warrior of Dio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfPCFQfOnLg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonnorman Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Its fundamentally fascinating. At the very least we need official alliance war, and possibly surrender if only a little alliance achievement stating they won 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P2K Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) I like the idea just without the bonus. Just for bragging rights like Vonnorman said^. Edited October 16, 2015 by P2K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
