    I've been part of a multi alliance coallition for quite some time, from the beginnings of Server 87. Coallition was born of a mutual respect and has flourished through 2 mergers now. Coallitions can work, however they must remain exclusive and tight knit, allowing to many alliances in makes the game stale.

    Join or die mentality never works, our alliance has taken in red alliance in the past, but has never forced another alliance under our name. Some of those we have taken in have become our most loyal.
    Gods Reach is endless.

    i think you hit the nail on the head with those 2, definitely the keys to a successful coalition.
    Server 176 - Furbz
    Server 166 - Furbz5 (retired)
    Server 147 - Furbz (retired)
    Server 113 - Furbz (retired)

    1) no such thing as too successful
    2) if by kill you mean dominate, then yes.

    i agree, i am in the same coalition, but one of the other reasons our coalition works so well is that each alliance has their own state, not all in one state. and if one alliance needs help we port in and help the port out, i think it works nicely

    If you make everyone Red its easier to see them on the map.

    Another part of the reason why the s87 coalitions worked out so well was because there were two super-coalitions, though. So no matter what, there was always a civil war. With the top 10 alliances mostly divided up and stable, the rest sort of moved in and out of coalitions depending on the issues and the battleground.
    Looking back on it, sure seems like no matter where s87 goes, our internal civil war seems to infect the entire server...

    By "kill" I mean ruin. When 4/5 Top5 alliances are in a coalition, and have spread across more than half of the server, it kills any action. For the most part, the smaller alliances cannot fight back. And that is what I mean by "too successful." I was in a coalition that did just that on one of my first server. It only ended when our alliance decided to declare on the others b/c we had nothing else to do. If that coalition had not been so seccussful, there would have been fights left worth having without breaking off from it.

    To everyone else, I think there seems to be a variety of thoughts on the idea. And I thank all who have relied for keeping this thread on topic, civil, and flame free so far.

    Another way around this is to allow alliances to grow to 500 instead of 100, or is that not workable ?

    its best when each alliance in a coalition is in a different state, that way there are still reds around and you dont have so many blues around. but alliances have to be good to own a whole state, so not a good idea for noob alliances.

    na2's Elite has 8 tiers in the top 10... We aren't a coelition, we're a single alliance.

    We dominate the server, and yes, we "ruin" it for the enemy.

    If there was such thing as victory, we'd have won. Instead, we chase the enemies we have left, (ranked 8,10, 11 and 15)
