OK so here is a fun and way more practical idea.

Lets add a IFF. We already have the green and red armies coming to cities... Green is your alliance...

Lets make it so we can add people to the green and maybe add a yellow. No real need for a red if it is not green or yellow.....

Could be a simple check box on someones account, or better yet an option to add a whole alliance.

The structure is in place, all we need is a different implementation, check boxes...

So you can tell if a person or alliance is a friend when heading to your city or base or whatever...

geez... I had to google to find out what IFF means: Identification Friend Foe

Good idea, I like it, would be really helpful.

So you could use

red - enemy
green - friend, alliance member
yellow - not added as friend or enemy yet

good idea PB, I like ;beer

Didn't Alpha have this feature? If it's the same one as I remember, would be good and would make things easier when newbies join an alliance too.

No alpha had the feature we use now, green for alliance mate.. red for everyone else.

Before that is was red for everyone

Either we could write something, or try to expand the friend-list feature in vbulletin, and integrate in the game (probably the better solution).

Not a bad idea for a white guy :)

Yea was think that would be easiest way. Not best, cause you couldn't really do groups but easiest.


I'm white!!!!! No one ever told me!!!

Yeah, hard to believe. That frame in the bathroom isn't some odd Rembrandt...it's a mirror, and that guy staring back...is you...Don't get too depressed.

Sounds like a great idea. Especially when you are a member of WTO or their affiliate alliances.

very good idea peon, i must say one of you bedda ideas

this idea was suggested years ago, but is still viable. sort of like what you could do in age of empires - have team colours, or have same colour for friends, different for foes

i think this idea was already used in the redux script of martok wasnt it?
I remeber boxes to enter friendly players/ alliances and enemies.

Was very nice as most people dont have only complete allieances as friend/enemy.
