ALLIANCE ANNOUNCEMENTS

Good point, but... war isn't always about profit.

In reality... war always starts because of... one side's desire to encroach on the other side's wealth (no matter what kind it is... spiritual, moral, physical, etc.)... so, according to you, the losing clan should give something to the winning clan after a victory... i.e., if there was territory, then perhaps it... but the idea of territories has already been discussed extensively... so calling this a war is simply incorrect...
But never mind - the main point isn't that....
What is the purpose of alliances after all...? Or are they only needed by clans that aren't quite "strong" yet...? For "duels" between themselves, or am I wrong?
