A growth-first starting recommendation
Auto Rally opens eligible automatic monster-rally participation for offline members. That can be a useful early group benefit. Great Helper and Help Count matter when members regularly help each other; their value depends on actual help activity.
Quick Construction and Rapid Research support ongoing queues. Do not max every production prerequisite just because it is on the route. Meet the gate, then compare the speed effect with the current needs of the alliance.
Alliance effects with a clear job
These are resulting-state effects at the listed levels. Early priority is conditional: Auto Rally helps eligible monster-rally participation; help effects need active members; construction and research speed help the queues members keep working.
| Technology | Example level | Resulting-state effect |
|---|---|---|
| Auto Rally | 1 | Unlocked |
| Great Helper | 10 | 5 min extra per help |
| Quick Construction | 10 | +20% |
| Rapid Research | 10 | +20% |
| Help Count | 10 | +10 received helps |
| Quick Training | 10 | +5% |
The minimum path to Rapid Research level 1
These are technology prerequisites from an empty alliance tree, not a request to max every parent. Complete the required level-one gates and then compare investment in the useful speed effects. Funds, donation progress and research duration still need satisfying in game.
| Required technology | Level |
|---|---|
| Auto Rally | 1 |
| Rapid Gathering | 1 |
| Great Helper | 1 |
| Wood Production | 1 |
| Food Production | 1 |
| Coins Production | 1 |
| Quick Construction | 1 |
| Senior Builder | 1 |
| Wood Protection | 1 |
| Food Protection | 1 |
| Coins Protection | 1 |
| Rapid Research | 1 |
When attack or defense becomes the better job
Read the exact scope of attacker, defender and rally effects. A bonus for PvP attacks is not a universal increase for every monster or garrison activity. Choose the job your members are preparing for, then inspect its required route.
The useful priority can change after the alliance has reliable growth effects and an immediate shared operation. A technology with a strong label is still a poor target when few members can use it.
Donation progress does not start research by itself
R4/R5 can recommend and upgrade alliance technologies under the recorded permissions. Members need the correct active donation target, while officers must check the funding and research-start conditions.
The complete funds, donation-price and duration graph remains unavailable. The effect and prerequisite path can still guide a decision, but an exact full-tree funding total is not established.
Before you commit
- Alliance and personal research kept separate.
- Shared benefit named.
- All required parents included.
- Current donation panel checked.
- Unknown funding and time not counted as zero.
Common questions
Does a filled donation gauge automatically complete the technology?
No such automatic completion is established here. Officers must check funding, permission, start and timer requirements. The technology path is separate from an exact funding table.
