Let's start with creating an alliance. You can only create an alliance with a premium membership. No way around it. But how does one even accomplish such a feat as creating one in the first place? Let me explain how! First let us travel to "Pack Activities". In here we will find a button labeled "Manage Alliance" as shown below.<div align="center">How To Manage Your Alliance

So, editing your alliance can be a piece of cake. But you might be asking "Viv, what are all these options for?!" Don't worry! I'll walk you through it! Most everything is self explanatory and has a bit of instruction next to it. Remember: You can only manage your alliance if your premium is active.

First, we have "Edit Alliance Name". Made a spelling mistake? Changing up the feel? Don't delete your alliance, just change the name! All it takes is a type and a click of that submit button.

"Assign Avatar" is done as if you were setting your own avatar. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

"Enter a description describing your alliance" is just as it says. Enter anything you'd like!

"Enter the Wolf Number for a spotlight wolf, and a brief description about them" Follow the instructions. I will note, once you set one up, it seems as if you can't not have one after that.

"Enter a contest description" You can host a competition in your alliance. Please remember that raffles and asking for donations is not allowed.

You can add your co-leaders with any title you want. Under "Add up to 3 co-leaders of your alliance" there are boxes you can set them up. Enter zero in the pack number to delete them.

Just check that box and click submit under "Delete Alliance" and bye-bye alliance.

"This alliance is accepting new members" Just pick yes or no.

You can invite a pack or remove them from your alliance by typing their pack number in the proper box.

You can set up a minimum dominance count by typing in the number in the "Set Minimum Dominance Required" box.

You can send a mass mail to your alliance members by typing in the box below "Send a mass mail your alliance" message.

"Delete individual shoutbox comments" lets you delete alliance comments you don't want. See ya, haters! If your premium runs out, this is the only option that will be available to you.

Lastly, using the check boxes under "Show/Not Show Alliance Awards", you can choose to do just that. But why would you not wanna show off some alliance pride?

You'll be sent a game mail when somebody has applied to join your alliance. From there, you can read their message and either accept or deny their application. You can have up to 30 members in an alliance. Too little for your liking? You can buy a member extension in Barter.

<div align="center">Who Wins Alliance Battles

When you fight an alliance, it'll pit you up against a random member on the opposing team. Dominance counts are compared, whoever has the highest count wins. Along with that, the system compares alliance strength scores. Whichever alliance has the higher strength count gives their member a +15 bonus to their member. If you want this bonus, donate your mushrooms to your alliance. Every mushroom equals one towards your strength count. You win counts five points towards your alliance's score. First alliance to take all 100 points wins! When you win, you get 25 mushrooms. But only once a day, no matter how many alliances you take down.
