GUIDE & GAME REFERENCE

Choose the next alliance benefit, not the next shiny upgrade

The best donation target is the one your members can use—and the one you can explain clearly.

Turn the tree into a shared objective

Pick one immediate benefit: easier rally participation, more effective help, shorter growth timers or lower eligible resource costs. Then identify the prerequisite levels needed to reach it.

The reference’s early Development route starts with Auto Rally and works toward help, construction and research benefits. Treat that as a starting framework, not a rule that every alliance must follow regardless of its needs.

Match the bonus to your actual bottleneck

If members are waiting on timers, construction speed, research speed and effective ally help deserve attention. If resources are what prevent upgrades, inspect the relevant discounts instead.

Auto Rally in the technology definitions covers eligible monster rallies. It is not evidence that offline members automatically join PvP rallies. Similarly, building and research discounts describe Wood, Food and Coins—not every special material.

Read percentages as speed, not time removal

A speed bonus increases the rate of work. With a 20% bonus and no other speed modifiers, a 10-hour base timer becomes 10 ÷ 1.20, or 8 hours 20 minutes. It does not become eight hours simply by subtracting 20%.

The help technologies only pay off when members actually use the help system. When planning a timer, enter observed help values rather than inventing a fixed saving for every alliance.

A donation message members can follow

  • Name the technology and the practical benefit you are trying to unlock.
  • List the missing prerequisite levels, not every upgrade in the entire tree.
  • Reassess after each useful unlock instead of automatically maxing every intermediate technology.
  • Check the in-game donation requirements, funds and timer before announcing the next target.

Check before you spend

Game rules and values can change. Verify active event rules, recruitment odds and upgrade costs in-game before spending.
