Built in Alliance tools.

[MrBloodworth]

Back in "some-other-game-that-will-not-be-named" my outfit, the Bastard Battalion, was part of a cross outfit alliance.

This was a great idea that took a great deal of manual, out-of-game management to do.

I wonder what the is possibility of an in game tool for forming alliances while maintaining the identity of individual outfits. First off, an alliance field in the outfit page for outfits that you want to be allied with, this would open up features like a new VOIP level, [Alliance]. This may also open up the possibility of a Commander level method of play, were a council of nominated members are elevated to assume a command role and be able to mark things for groups of Platoons.

This alliance system could tie directly in with the idea of Outfit specialization, Mission system and advancement systems already proposed by developers. It also could be very reminiscent of an idea from many years ago in "some-other-game-that-will-not-be-named".



Full idea from the way back machine here.

Think in terms of the Commander mode in BF, or the Commander mode in Natural selection 2, or the game Savage. Perhaps that's to large of a scope, but at the very least, Alliance should be able to be formed in game, with the addition of the new VOIP chat.

What other features would people like to see in a set of tools for "Alliance" like system?
