Alliance Modes

Alliance Modes
When setting up a game, you can choose from one of three alliance modes:
| Icon | Notes |
|---|---|
 | No alliances All out war, everyone is your enemy.
|
 | Dynamic alliances Players can choose to create or break alliances at any time during the game.
Note: If one of your allies survives, they might be able to revive you by donating a truck, but even if your alliance then wins the game you won't be considered a winner because you had already been defeated. |
 | Fixed teams Players are put in to fixed teams that cannot change during the game.
Note: An ally can revive you by donating a truck if you get killed. If your alliance then goes on to win the game you will be treated as a winner – there's no "I" in "team" |
Dynamic Alliances
When dynamic alliance mode is active, players can change alliance with other players at any time during the game.
Click on the Intelligence icon to list all players:
You can then use the following buttons to change alliance settings...
| Button | Notes |
|---|---|
 | Offer alliance An offer to form an alliance will be sent to the associated player. |
 | Accept alliance request Accept an offer from another player and be allied with them. |
 | Break alliance Reject an offer from another player and be enemies with them. |
For developers
Developers can implement alliances using the following features:
- alliancesType – defines whether the game is NO_ALLIANCES, ALLIANCES or ALLIANCES_TEAMS mode
- setAlliance() – make or break an alliance with another player
- allianceExistsBetween() – determine if an alliance exists between two players
- playerData[] – find out what teams players are in
To modify victory conditions, based on alliance type, see Victory Conditions.
To change the button images, see: Images, Icons & Cursors.
