Alliance donations are an amazing thing for both you and the alliance. There are many good reasons to donate. These are the best ones:
- Donating to the alliance helps us earn new abilities that benefit everyone in the alliance.
- When you donate to the alliance, you earn Alliance honor. This is basically Alliance currency that you can spend in the alliance store for things like teleports and speed-ups.
- Every Sunday, the game gives prizes for donation. If you donate regularly, by the end of the week you will have donated enough to get resources back. The top three donors get even more.
- Your donation history will determine your place in the Castle Push order.
Donation Requirements:
The AfO/OfA family has minimum donation requirements. They are not hard to meet. The requirement is 5000 donation points per day for castles of less than 1 million power, and 7000 points a day for castles of 1 million or more. If you max out your donations once per day, that will keep you current.
I will check the donations standings every week on Sunday.
How to Donate:
In order to donate to the alliance, tap the alliance tab on the bottom of your screen, then tap donate. Look for the donation topic with the gold star. That's the one we're focusing on. Tap the appropriate buttons to donate.
You'll notice some numbers above the donation button. The one on the left tells how many donation points you will receive. The one on the right tells how much Alliance honor you will get from each donation.
You're only allowed to donate so much at a time. Watch the red timer. When it passes 4 hours, you'll be locked out of donating until the timer runs out. The way to get around this is to stop donating when the timer says 3:45 or so. Then you can come back and continue to donate small amounts throughout the day. This will help you get more Alliance honor.
How to know how much you have donated:
To see your place in the donation history, tap the Alliance tab. Then go to the top where it says manage and tap that. Then tap on donations. You will see the daily, weekly, and forever history of donations.
To see if you are current with your donations, go to the weekly tab and look at the first number after your name. That is how many points you have for the week. Multiply your daily requirement by the number of days that have passed in the week. The week starts at midnight Monday GMT, which is Sunday night in the United States/Canada. For example, if today is Wednesday and your requirement is 7K daily, multiply 7K x 3 days = 21,000 points. That is what you should have.
Castle Push is determined by your lifetime donation history.
What if I don't feel like donating? What if I have a big building project/troops in the hospital/selfishness personality disorder?
Short answer: too bad. We all get wounded troops. We all like to build stuff. We can't make exceptions for things like that. The requirement we have set is not hard to reach. Donations benefit everyone and you must participate. No exceptions.
