~LiTou~ charter

Membership

Everyone can apply to this alliance regardless of his/her account size, but we discuss every application in the forum and decide together, whether to take someone in or not. As for all discussions, there is no "chain of command" or strict "voting system" installed -there will be a government but we hear what every participant has to say and if someone has specific interests or aversions towards a potential member, we will take that into account before making our decision.

All members of ~LiTou~ are welcome to share their views on things and to open threads in the forum. There is no 'censorship' by the mods and admins, but threads can be moved or closed to give room to more actual topics.
We prefer transparency to all activities and would like to use the forum board as main medium of communication, Ingame Messages (IGM) should not be used to discuss matters that concern the whole of the alliance.

What the alliance stands for

The alliance is a pact to benefit all members. Every member that is attacked, will be protected by other members. Every member in need of resources will be supplied by other members. This happens by free will and to the capacities of the players involved, e.g. nobody will be asked to send a daily of 20.000 gold, if he or she has a population of just 600. But according to the thought of community, help of others should always be answered by supporting them in times of need. If someone has received help, but is not willing to contribute to other defenses or resource supplies, he/she will be asked to leave. The same goes for inactive players who let their villages get farmed on a regular bases. For reasons of political integrity towards other and especially stronger alliances, we can not allow ourselves, to be farmed or waste valuable resources such as gold.

What everyone can do

Therefore everyone has to take certain measures in advance to avoid farming and to help managing defenses at his/her settlements in case of attacks:

- At least 15 scouts in small villages, unlimited numbers in large villages,
- a decent amount of permanent defenders at every village, mixed in anti-cavalry and anti-infantry units,
- Palisades/Walls maxed to level 19 as fast as possible in every village (main villages first),
- At least 1 treasury maxed to level 20 as fast as possible in every village (main villages first),

- appoint a sitter for longer periods of absence to the game and make a note in the "member status"-thread,
- open a thread in the "~LiTou~'s army's section" ( in the chosen tribe your inl) and write down:
treasury Sizes at each village and level of Wall/Palisades in each village, everything else is not mandatory

If you have done all this, there is no need to panic when you are attacked. Don't lose your calm and think about, if it is really necessary to involve others or if the situation can be handled on your own.
If you should decide to ask for help, please open a new thread in "war room" - section and explain the situation in a few words: Most important for supporting defenders is to know which village is attacked, who is attacking and when the attack hits the village in question. To know about the gold/hour situation is helpful too.

Behavior towards the enemy

It was always our understanding of this game, that there should be absolutely no place for rude behavior. This is a game of war and diplomacy and therefore a good chance is given, that you will be attacked and maybe defeated. In cases like that, under no circumstances insult a successful attacker or triumph over a defeated enemy in direct communication, stay polite at all times and try to convince the enemy with your charms and wits. By doing so, we have earned a lot more friends than enemies and even the most hostile attackers have reconsidered their plans, if they were asked in a well mannered fashion.
