RoWorld Alliances Guide: Cooperation and Expansion
Quick answer
- You can propose alliances and accept offers from other nations.
- The walkthrough reports better train-trade returns with nearby allies.
- Allies can betray, so keep the map and your remaining routes in view.
Give the relationship a purpose
A RoWorld alliance should help you make a useful next decision. You may want a calmer border while developing, or cooperation that lets you focus on another rival.
Decide what the relationship changes before sending a proposal simply because the option is available.
The walkthrough also reports increased train-trade gold with nearby allied nations. That gives the relationship an economic context, although it does not turn every proposal into a guaranteed fixed income increase.
Keep an expansion route available
A public-match guide warns against being blocked in by multiple allies. Consider the land around you before forming a relationship on every border. A calm position can still be awkward if your next useful expansion requires immediately breaking a new alliance.
Look for cooperation that fits the map rather than making every neighbor either a permanent friend or an automatic target. The nation you need to deal with next can change as other players expand.
Treat trust and defense as separate choices
Allies can betray. Continue watching their growth and the border you share, even after an offer is accepted. A useful relationship does not replace the troops or attention needed to respond if the situation changes.
Use form alliances for proposals and responses. If cooperation no longer addresses the immediate threat, combat strategy helps you reconsider the next military or defensive priority.
