SvS Alliance Preparation Guide

Do not wait until the fighting starts before moving. We want our alliance positioned near the Capital area in plenty of time.

• Heal your troops
• Clear as much hospital space as possible
• Make sure you have teleports
• Make sure you have enough shields
• Check your strongest formation
• Keep healing speedups available
• Watch alliance chat for positioning instructions

Our stronger HQs should take the mud positions. These members need to be able to:

• Take repeated attacks
• Heal quickly
• Keep an eye on their HQ
• Call for reinforcement
• Fight when required
• Stay active during the battle

When our members move into the mud, stay close together and avoid unnecessary gaps between HQs.

If one of our members has to leave their position, tell alliance chat first. Where possible, another member should be ready to take the space.

If you are outside the mud, keep your shield active.

• Do not wait until the enemy arrives before shielding
• If you are going offline, make sure your shield lasts long enough
• If there is any doubt, shield

Do not stay back at our normal alliance hive unless instructed.

Members who are shielding should still move close to the fighting area. This gives us much shorter reinforcement times.

Reinforcement is one of our most important jobs.

If you are shielded outside the mud, be ready to reinforce our members inside it.

RF priority:

1. An alliance member currently being attacked
2. One of our strongest members holding a mud position
3. A member taking repeated enemy attacks
4. A member specifically asking for RF in alliance chat

If an R4 or R5 gives a different instruction, follow that instruction.

If you are in the mud and start taking attacks, say so immediately. Keep the message short and obvious.

If you are reinforcing someone, check whether your troops are still there and whether they are still healthy.

• Recall if necessary
• Heal
• Refill the formation
• Send it back

We want our mud players reinforced throughout the fighting, not just at the beginning.

Try to send a useful formation. Your strongest available formation will normally provide the best support, but keep watching alliance chat in case you need it for another job.

1. Call for RF
2. Keep watching incoming attacks
3. Heal where necessary
4. Tell alliance chat if you are struggling
5. Do not teleport away without warning if you can avoid it

The rest of us should react quickly when one of our members calls for help.

Tell alliance chat. It is better for us to know and replace you than for you to be repeatedly hit until you are emptied.

You do not have to be one of our strongest players to contribute.

• Shield
• Position close to the mud
• Reinforce stronger members
• Fill space outside the mud
• Watch alliance chat
• Help replace positions if instructed

Stay focused on what our alliance is doing. Do not teleport across the map chasing individual enemy HQs unless there is a good reason.

Doing that can take you away from our group, leave a gap, increase reinforcement times, leave our mud players unsupported, or put you somewhere difficult to defend.

During SvS, alliance chat matters. Watch for:

• RF requests
• Movement instructions
• Shield reminders
• Enemy warnings
• Calls to attack
• Calls to stop attacking
• Position replacements

If an R4 or R5 gives an instruction, follow it quickly.

If we decide to bring farms into the Capital area, they should remain shielded.

Their role is not to fight. They can help us occupy space and remain close enough to support the main alliance if needed.

Before logging off during SvS, check your shield.

Do not assume an existing shield has enough time left. Look at the remaining duration and make sure it covers the period you will be away.
