Alliance Research

How alliance research works

Alliance research is shared. Instead of spending your own Food, Iron and Coins, members donate to build up Tech XP, and every completed level helps the whole alliance: faster construction and gathering for everyone, stronger rallies and garrisons, and quality-of-life tools like Auto Rally.

That makes coordination more important than raw resources. Alliances usually get the most out of their donations by agreeing on one research at a time, so Tech XP is not spread thin across several half-finished levels.

Development and War side by side

The two trees are almost the same size: Development has 15 research and 141 levels, War has 15 research and 150 levels.

Filling Development completely takes about 378 million Tech XP and roughly 64 days of research time. War needs about 405 million Tech XP and roughly 69 days.

Development leans towards economy and support (construction, gathering, output, protection and Help). War focuses on training, march speed and the strength of rallies and garrisons.
