Congratulations! You've been selected as a coachman for the alliance. Here is what you need to know to get started.
Firstly, an R4 or R5 will need to appoint you as per your scheduled/requested time, R4s are able to appoint themselves.
Once you have been appointed you will be wearing a lovely driving hat at the front of the caravan. The first thing you need to do, is scroll up to the front of the train where you will see spaces for three squads. This is where you arrange your heroes!
Just like in your squads, the position in the formation is important. There will be a specific guide for more information on this soon.
Once you have yourself situated hopefully people have started requesting entry to the caravan. We try to roll our caravan to gold each time for the best rewards available but we do understand this isn't always possible. We would never expect you to spend diamonds on rerolls so save them for another day! To refresh the caravan requires 5 tickets, and you are guaranteed a gold caravan after 5 rerolls. We donate to the driver as 25 tickets is quite a lot in one go so we show our appreciation.
Next to the reroll option, there is a small clipboard icon, this is where you can collect any donated tickets. Don't worry if you forget to pick them up, they will also come in your mail if you don't pick them up before departure.
Once our alliance gift level is at 20, a VIP is able to be selected to ride up front with the driver. You can also request them as a guard. VIP gets to choose two carriages they would like the rewards from, much like how we reward our members with the driver position for alliance contributions this VIP option is intended for us to reward our helpful kitties.
The guard is a little different, this option means you choose to use the guards squads to help protect the caravan, also choosing two carriages for rewards. Any of our smaller kittens who earn a spot as the driver may like to nominate a stronger player to protect the caravan from plunders.
