Calling Allies - Panick Mode

December 12, 2008 10:17:05 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I know how to request an ally defend or attack a target, but finding the ally closest or with sufficient forces is tricky.  Is there a way that I can call upon all of my allies at once to defend a planet (or attack an enemy)???

There is a ping button for notify allies if you have problem its in the same command are as building stuff but dont have anything selected to get this. There is no way to order ai to attack but with other humans just ask for help if the can or specific tactical plans. This ping button asks all alies to defend this planet, if they have spare resources they will help you but not always.

Actually, if you select a allied ship, structure or system, you have two pings, ally attack-ally defend. You click the one you want, then click the system you want targeted, and the AI will respond, it may just take some time because they seem to bring ALL their ships. It's great for weakening pirates or diverting another AI's forces away from the front where you plan to hit.

I know this already, but is knowing which planet to select as my ally source.  I assume that clicking on a planet that has no forced in that particular planet is still going to amass a force.  I have three allies.  I need all THREE!!!
