Overview
Create a Clan and work together with other players to fight against the Ice Queen and Clans of other Lord Marshals. Clans allow players to unite with their allies as a well-organized team under one collective name, banner, and work towards the same goals.You must advance to Level 5 before you can join a Clan, and Level 10 before you can create one.
You may join a Clan in any the following ways:
Once you've reached Level 5, you may become a Trainee in a Clan's Academy without sending an Application; but only if the Clan has the space to train new players in their Academy (the number of spaces for Trainees is limited to 10). To do so, go to the Clan Hall and open the "Join Clan" tab. If you haven't decided which Clan or Academy to apply for, press "Join Random Clan". This will place you within an open Clan based on your language preferences and Stronghold location. You can be a member of only 1 Clan at a time. To join another Clan, you must first leave your current Clan.
If you create your own Clan, it will automatically have an Academy to educate Trainees.

These may include Units, permanent modifications to their Stronghold or Unit statistics, or other features.All Clan Achievements feature multiple levels. Upon completion of each Achievement Level, your Clan will be rewarded with increasingly large Bonuses. After completing the all an Achievement's Levels, the Achievement will be rated "Gold". When a Clan has completed all Achievements at the "Gold" rating, either the Chief or an Advisor may take a screenshot of their Achievements (taken at the Clan Hall) and submit it to the Plarium support team to get a unique Clan logo.

Power Points
Power Points are a unique value assigned to each Unit in the game, based on and relative to its respective Offensive or Defensive value. Power Points are used to make progress towards certain Achievements, and also play a significant role in the base calculation for experience points earned during battles.
Achievement Bonuses
There are two kinds of Achievement Bonuses – Clan Bonuses and Individual Bonuses.Clan Bonuses
These are awarded to a Clan collectively upon the successful completion of a Clan Achievement. These Bonuses can take the form of Ranking Point boosts in the Clan Rankings, or Clan-wide bonuses to Unit or Stronghold statistics for all participating Clan Members. Clan Bonuses earned while being a Member of one Clan are non-transferable, and cannot be retained upon leaving that Clan. Clan Members joining a Clan after it has earned an Achievement will not enjoy the benefits of any existing Clan Bonuses. If you leave your Clan and join another one, you will be able to receive Clan Achievement bonuses only after you have been in that Clan for 7 days or more.
Individual Bonuses
These are your personal rewards for assisting your Clan in completing a Clan Achievement – these can take the form of free Units or special items. To claim your Bonus, click on the highlighted "Claim Reward" button in the "My Clan" section of the Clan Hall once your Clan has successfully completed an Achievement. Individual Bonuses are one-time offers and, like Clan Bonuses, cannot be used or earned again once you've left the Clan in which you received it, even if your new Clan earns a similar Clan Achievement.
To view the list of Clan Achievements, along with their Terms and Bonuses, go to the "My Clan" tab in the Clan Hall.
Clan Influence & Influence Points
Influence Points are used to determine a Clan's position in the Clan Rankings.Influence Points are calculated as follows:
1. By converting the territory of a Clan's conquered Obelisks into Influence Points. A 1:100 ratio is used for conversion, so 1 sq. km of territory equals 100 Influence Points;
2. By taking into account the bonus from a Clan's Achievements. Completing Achievements gives the Clan a percentage bonus that is applied to their Influence Points.
3. Each Achievement has its own additional reward, in terms of Influence Points, that will be added to a Clan's total number of Influence Points after the percentage bonus is factored in.
For example:
Clan A controls 2 Obelisks that currently give them control of 10,000 sq. km of territory. The Clan also has a few Achievements that increase their score by 5%. Its territory is converted into Influence Points, then the 5% bonus from the Achievements is applied, yielding 1,050,000 Influence Points. Again, each Achievement also carries an additional reward in terms of Influence Points, which is then added to give the total Influence Points. In this case, the rewards that this Clan had earned from various Achievements amounted to 100, meaning that the Clan's total amount of Influence Points is 1,050,100.
