Reservation Tool
What is the Reservation Tool?
The reservation tool was a player-driven development that was introduced into the game in December 2012. It allows members of an alliance to ‘claim’ a city, showing their alliance-mates (and the members of alliances which have access to your alliance's reservations*) that they have the intention of conquering the city.
Please note that reserving a city does not prevent other players (even those from your alliance) from conquering said city. It only shows that you are planning on taking it.
(*)This doesn't have to be alliances that you are pacted with.
How to reserve
Reserving a city really couldn't be easier.
- Click on the city that you wish to reserve.
- Click 'info' when the wheel opens.
- Click on 'Reserve'.
- Congratulations, you have now reserved a city.
Viewing Reservations
If you click on "Alliance' in the botton menu bar, you will see a tab called 'Reservations'.
Click on it and you will be presented with a window that looks like this:
From here, you are able to see your reservation along with those of your alliance mates and members of any alliances that have shared their reservations with your's.
A few more details
A reservation is valid for a period of 7 days, then it expires. You can cancel it at anytime by hitting the little x towards the right of the reservation.
Some members of your alliance may have the ability to manage reservations, meaning that they too can cancel your reservation.
Managing Reservations
If you have the privs to edit reservations, then you will also have the option of opening this window:
From here, you are able to edit the following:
- How many reservations players in your alliance can have at any one time
- The time that it takes for a reservation to expire
- Which alliances you have shared reservations with
- Which alliances can view your reservations
- Which alliances can edit your reservations
- Which alliances can add to your reservations
