Topic: War declarations and alliances

How about if we could actually declare war on a clan.  This is how i see it: a clan can declare war on another clan, if the other clan accepts the war then there are NO honour loses, no rune limits on stealing, everything goes. This may need to be limited to something like a clan can only be at war with one other clan(or an alliance).
We could also have alliances. In this case a clan can ally itself with another clan(again, limited to only one ally)In this case the clans would use the same ingame forum. If one of the clans are in a war with another clan then the alliance is at war. Members inside the alliance should have some benefits too, like reduced costs of trading.
In case that 2 clans go to war, the outcome of the war should also be seen somewhere on the clan information pane. Something like flags or something for each victories and loses. A war would be over when one of the sides surrenders. Maybe even add a possiblity of a tie, no looser but not winner either.
This ideea need some work and i realise that it would require a lot of work to implement but i think it would be nice.

Re: War declarations and alliances

I agree a feature like this could add a formal layer of diplomacy to the game.

Especially if rune & resource trades are built in to offers of "armstice" (tie) and "surrender" when clans are at war.

I'm not sure I'd advocate limiting alliances to two clans, though. I suppose it would depend on the benefit/risk balance overall.

It would need to be limited in some way, and I think two clans is a good number. Otherwise I think it could be abused, expecially if there is the added incentive of cut priced trading. I do like the idea.

I am also a fan of this idea. I know it changes alot, but alot needs changing... especially on speed.

Re: War declarations and alliances

I don't think I like the idea of alliance function but I like the idea of the clan war thing. It would give people a chance to play one way or the other. A risk they could take on their own as both sides would have to take the choice. This would be good even after the clan hopping/honor thing is fixed up.
