Tested and approved alliance concepts

From IceWars Documentation

You just founded your own alliance and you have absolutely no idea on what to do now?

Well, obviously, you will need to write an rpg and/or a description to put into your ally info and promote your brand new alliance. Also, an own forum and irc-channel would be neat. Additionally, some alliances use tools like a database to store geological analyses or something. If you create tools on your own, be carefull not to violate any rules! Bots that do any actions in your account automatically are of course forbidden, data must only be copied via copy & paste. If neither you nor any of your members can program such a thing, you can take a look at the tools-forum and see if there is anything of use available.

Also, you should think about the level of cooperation in your alliance. Their are basically two concepts tested and approved, each with some possible variations.

First, the well known and easy Single Player Alliance. This one needs very little organisation and cooperation, there might be some resources or ships sent between your members, but basically, everyone takes care of his or her own needs.

The other one is the Digger/Fleeter Alliance. Here, various methods of specialization are used to get players just for certain purposes, like producing recources or constructing ships.
