Alliances

In MultiPlayer Games, you can chat with other Star Lords and form Alliances by clicking the "Relations" button.

Communication Channels

When chatting with other Star Lords during a MultiPlayer Game, you can use one of three Channels:

  • All - your chat will be received by all Star Lords in the game.
  • Allies - your chat will only be received by Star Lords that you've formed an Alliance with (see below).
  • Enemy - your chat will only be received by Star Lords that you have not allied with.

Alliances

In the Relations screen, the Alliances section along the right side allows you to view and set Alliances with other players.  There are three levels of Alliance in Solar Vengeance 5.  When you enable a higher level of Alliance, it automatically also includes all of the effects of the lower levels.

  1. Friendly - When you grant a Star Lord a Friendly alliance, your StarShips will not automatically attack their StarShips when Auto-Attack Adjacent is turned on.  Additionally, your EMines and StarTillery will not attack the ally's StarShips.  You can still target their StarShips and StarSystems manually if desired.
  2. Intelligence - The Star Lord you grant this level of Alliance to shares your visibility, and can see all of the StarSystems and StarShips that you can see.
  3. Formal - When two or more Star Lords mutually set a Formal Alliance, and they defeat the remaining Star Lords, a joint victory is declared for the allied players.

Mutual or One-Sided Alliances

When you grant an Alliance to a player, you are providing them the benefit of the Alliance, but you do not receive the benefit unless they also explicitly grant you the Alliance.

When you grant an Alliance, you see an icon appear next to their name, with an open notched shape.  The color of the icon determines the level of Alliance you granted; orange for Friendly, yellow for Intelligence, and green for formal.

This icon indicates that you've granted a Star Lord a Friendly Alliance, but they have not yet granted you an Alliance.

When a Star Lord has granted you an Alliance, you will see the icon shown here.  In this case, the Star Lord has granted you an Intelligence Alliance but you have not granted them one yet.

When there is a mutual Alliance, but sides of the icon will be filled.  Indicated here is a mutual Formal Alliance.

Be careful that your allies are living up to their end of the bargain and maintaining the Alliance with you.  Also, be warned - Alliances can be broken at the click of a button!
