Faction standings.

   Very good question, Brandmeister, and one I also hope to see resolved in an interesting way in the near future. :)
My guess, although that is conjecture at best and I post it mainly to have a dev correct me, is that alliance standing will have an influence on personal standing, and vice versa, but that personal and alliance standings will affect somewhat different aspects of the relation to the faction. Perhaps personal standing is how welcome your traders are, while alliance standing is how (un-)happy they are to allow your troops in the vicinity.
But in any case, I do hope that factions will cause a dramatic change in the Illyriad landscape!
And soon.

	well brand, from my understanding the factions are not live yet and currently all standings are based on race only, so if your alliance has more humans, they will have a better standing with any faction friendly to humans and so on. Now, from what the devs say, when the factions go live, you have the option to make your standing better, how to do this also has not be given, but there are ways supposedly. Currently I suggest you don't trade with the hubs unless your standing is -30 or lower, because after that they will not take your orders and will send hostile units.
	I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade... And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.

	Perhaps someone could enlighten me on the difference between Personal and Alliance standings with factions? There are several factions like the dwarf clans who are highly favorable towards me individually, but deeply negative towards my alliance (presumably because of racial mix). What are the potential consequences of this when factions go live? This might seem like a trivial question, but it isn't. We have players settling in the broken lands near highly biased factions. Will the alliance rating suddenly cause a loss of access to trade hubs that were previously friendly to an individual? Might players be forced to quit mixed alliances if their cities are located near racial hubs? There's a huge land rush going on right now, but factions are a big unknown that will suddenly be added to the game. I'd like to know what will happen in the future release, in case factions will interfere with alliance structure, or vice versa.
