We have diplomatic stances between alliances, from which we may infer that large 'confederation' bodies exist (with fuzzy edges). What would happen if Confederations were recognised as individual entities in Illyriad.
  1. Any alliance can found a Confed;
  2. A confed has a profile page that says what they are about, and a forum;
  3. The Confed might confer in-game benefits between its members;
  4. A percentage of the membership must approve new invitations;
  5. A percentage of the membership must approve kicking an alliance out;
  6. You might want some visible ranking within the confed, or to identify who speaks;
  7. An alliance can join any number of confeds. Confeds can be for any purpose;
This could be available by Alliance Prestige, tax, or be free.

I expect this would be too structured and restricting for many players (including me), but it would make some of the diplomacy a bit more transparent. Even if this is not a viable suggestion for implementation, I'd like to see some debate (without reference to the current situation).

You mean an alliance for alliances? 

We've gone too deep. 

I'd rather seeing the ability for a player to belong to multiple alliances at the same time, instead of this sortof confederation structure.

It can be as simple as 'alliance flags' where an Alliance obtains a flag to show they support a cause.

I think this is an interesting idea, and merits further discussion.

I could also see where the alliance or confederation you are can be concealed.  In a game of espionage, would you want to publicly say where your loyalties lie?

I think you needs to rename your idea, confeds are between 2 alliances, this you are talking about or thinking about is when alliances forms things like Consone, Crows or Dark Star Dominion where its more of a organization or empire rather then just a alliance, or thats how i read it anyhow.

And having a page for these groups i think is something that has become more needed as more and more alliances joins together to form these groups since being alone makes them vulnerable.

But we have the forum aswell, tho its not as well organized and its hard finding old posts about when these were created and ofcourse they aint up-to-date
