Greetings,
Hello from the members of TCOL – The Colony.
One of the nice things Illyriad brings to the fold, is its ability to play solo. You do not have to join an alliance if you do not want to. Playing in an alliance or solo does not grant the player any special powers or statistical advantage that is measurable on any graph or chart. However a player wanting to advance quickly in the game will notice what a huge advantage that being in an alliance will bring.
The first and most important benefit is protection. Protection will help you from both rogue players, and alliances, with hostile intentions. If you are under attack, or have other grievances, with an opposing player a good alliance will help you negotiate a fair compromise and if not will aid you resolving the matter in another way.
The second benefit is helping you with resources to assist you in getting the required amount to level your buildings higher.
The third benefit is the sharing information gained about Illyriad, its game mechanics, and updates.
And last is the knowledge that an alliance is only as strong as its most active members.
We have several paths of play open in our alliance and would be happy to extend you an invitation to join us.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
The members of TCOL
