In an older world the top alliances likely have 100s of members and might scores in the billions so realistically you don't have a chance of catching up.Īn alliance can provide assistance in many ways: they can provide rss to help you build provide somewhere to send your extra rss and send reinforcements should you get attacked. In a new server give it a bash, no one alliance will be dominant and you have the opportunity to grow with your group. Additionally how old/full the server is can be a factor. If you're not fully committed I wouldn't recommend starting one, because trust me there are leaders out there who are very committed and want to be the top alliance. too much for my casual mobile gaming habit.
Personally I didn't bother because being a leader is a lot of work, tracking people’s progress, recruiting etc.
Anyone can start an alliance provided your embassy is of sufficient level. In many ways they are the fundamental mechanic of the game. To survive in this game you need to be in an alliance.
