Domination Game

How does an alliance work?  I get the basic movment and attack issues but the help doesn't give any referance to alliances.  

Ahh ok, well all you do is load the 'Alliance Setup' page, select a member who you want to be an ally with, enter your password and click the 'Send Ally Invitation' button.

If they accept, then you will both be able to see how many battalions each of you have on the map and you will be able to move your battalions into there territories (where your ally takes control of them).

When you and your ally dominate the map, then the game is complete and you get half the winning points between you - ie at the moment 1000 points each.
