Alliances form a core part of gameplay in Goodgame Empire. Players can join together with friends (or strangers) to create an alliance and gain access to many bonuses such as; the alliance smithy, bonuses to their attack speed, a friendly community, and many more.
Players can choose to either create an alliance of their own or join another alliance made by someone else. Joining one made by someone else often has it's advantages such as instant access to possibly high level bonuses, a higher level smithy and more. On the other hand, joining another alliance means the player won't have full control and may have to wait a long time before they are promoted in the alliance, granting them administration powers.
Being part of an alliance is required for two of the daily tasks. These are very quick and an easy 10 activity points can be earned. A player must:
- Write a message in the alliance chat
- Use the alliance smithy to create one piece of equipment
Alliance Level
There are 50 alliance levels to gain. Whenever a player earns glory points, they are added to the alliance and with enough, the alliance can advance to the next level. With each level, every member of the alliance can gain some rewards. A list of rewards available for each level is tabulated below along with the glory points required for each level. Every alliance starts at level 1.
| Level | Glory Points Required | Reward | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wood | Stone | Coins | Rubies | ||
| 1 | - | - | - | - | - |
| 2 | 8,000 | 750 | 0 | 100 | 300 |
| 3 | 34,000 | 2,100 | 0 | 450 | 650 |
| 4 | 77,000 | 3,900 | 1,500 | 0 | 1,050 |

Chat and Notice Board
One of the many features of an alliance include the alliance chat and notice board. Members can talk to each other in the alliance panel, or in the alliance chat panel in the lower left of the game window. This feature enables members to coordinate attacks on other players or alliances.
The alliance notice board acts as an in game forum for alliance members. Players can post threads for discussion, or questions they wish to be answered. There is a maximum of 10 threads with 20 posts in each.
Alliance Funds
Any member of an alliance can contribute to their alliance's collective funds. Once the resources have been donated, they cannot be taken out. Alliance funds are used to purchase upgrades for the alliance smithy, or alliance wide bonuses such as an increase in attack travel speed for all members.
Players can choose to donate however much they wish. All resources are available for donation (wood, stone, gold coins, and rubies).
It's recommended for new members who wish to get promoted higher to donate a lot of resources to the alliance funds as this will increase their reputation with members of the alliance.

Listed below in the table are upgrades available for alliances. There are a variety of upgrades available for alliances such as more slots, a better alliance smithy, increased support travel speed and more. These upgrades are purchased using alliance funds.
