We hope that you will find a place with us that you can call home. We love to have new members and new friends!

One of our core values is team spirit. Team spirit to us means that we support each other. We are generous in donating troops for wars and war bases, troops for main battle to expedite resource acquisition faster, we are regularly contribution to Parliament, which provides nice perks to all team members, we have the first 12 perks of the Alliance Gate, which provides many advantages from global age upgrade for all donated troop to addition resources, we donate to building and research time requests, we have and increase valuable information on our fandom website, we are part of a group of 5 Alliances, and we help each with dominations game related questions, tips for improving defense, base building, attack techniques, troop composition and other such questions. Most importantly, we are enjoying the game and having fun together, enjoying our relationship with team members from across the globe.

**As we bring the above aspect to the team, we expect from you that you do as well. Here are our expectations for you to be a good fit for the team:**

* Read messages in your **inbox**
* Read the **chat** messages and respond when there are questions directed to the team or to you specifically. While we prefer that you participate in chat, we do not require it. But we do require that you "screen" through the messages to identify if there is a response requested from you.
* Participate in **war**. War participation is required. We do expect that you are generally participate in war, but also understand that from time to time you may not due to personal availability (work, family, school, vacation, etc.), due to upgrading critical buildings such as war academy, factory, embassy, mercenary camp.
* If you are not available for war, please mark the **"war availability" button** at the Alliance Gate
* If you are not available for war, please **let us know through chat** so that we can plan war size and team member selection accordingly
* When you are participating in war we expect that you **do your best** to select the appropriate opponent (two bullet points below), successfully attack to the best of your capabilities. If you are uncertain what the best target is, ask your team via chat.
* **Get both attacks in**. If something comes up and you cannot do both attacks, we understand as it happens to all of us, but let the team know via chat.
* Your **first attack** should target the a base that you feel **95% certain you can 5-star**.
* Your **second attack** should maximize the probability of getting a maximum of additional stars. If you cannot get additional stars, attack the base that works best for you to get more resources, including rubies and you will earn a war chest.
* Be as generous as the rest of the team is with troop donations, Parliament donations, with participating in chat, asking for help and information, offering help and information, and to bond and have an enjoyable time as part of the team.

We hope that this mutual give and take is aligned with your expectations. We love to have you on the team!

*Your Alliance 2 AOE Team*
