Twain, you said above that we could pact alliances with each other? In my relations page, I figured out that I could send pacts to my different countries, but we can do that with other people too?
What Marshal said. If you build a clan, you could ask the big clans for some type of pact, typically the main two used in FFA are:
NAP = Non-Aggression Pact, basically the two sides won't hit each other at all, but otherwise have no interests in helping each other out either, or
FDP = Full Defensive Pact, basically the NAP plus the promise that if my clan and your clan were allied and you were attacked and needed help, we'd come to your aid. There's also an LDP, Limited Def. PAct, which basically puts some limitations on who and when someone will come to your aid.
There's no in-game mechanic for it, it's just something that we as players in the game discuss with each other. For instance, (not to try to inject politics into this thread), NBK, PANLV and Ares are all allied this set and are warring against ICD and CC, who are also allied to each other.
In addition, since we (PANLV) and TKO are usually two of the better netgaining clans, we usually ally each other because it's beneficial for us to stay out of each others' news, because if PAN and TKO traded hits, it'd probably end up being a situation where no one really came out ahead, because we're fairly evenly matched, skillwise.
