Do I need to have an embassy to stay in my alliance?

Well do I? I was thinking about destroying it but I <3 my alliance and don't want to get kicked out because I destroyed my embassy.

These forums so need a search function, I spent the last few days looking for the answer to this question in random sections of the forums.

I am in an alliance but I do not have an embassy, you can safely demolish yours. However, you won't have access to embassy features (such as internal alliance page).

Sure, you can demo your embassy, but don't blame us for getting banned for bugusing =\

Not having an Embassy and being in an Alliance is Bugusing and will result in the player being banned. Anyone found not having and Embassy and being in an alliance will be banned. I suggest you build an Embassy to join the Alliance.

What?!

That cannot be right. The whole of Xi joined alliances before the had researched embassies. Can you please give us a link to a thread or some confirmation? It seems like a normal feature in the game. >__<

Root Cause

I tend to agree. Not all players check these forums. And there was certainly no in-game announcement to relay that this is bugusing. I personally came here to find out, and have kept mine. New players however would surely play under the innocent presumption that they may join alliances sans embassy. To think that a bug like this could result in a ban in a little harsh. Why not fix that bug? It's existed for months. Solve the root problem, not the symptom and then the problem of banning players who deserve a little more leniance for a problem with the game's code will cease to exist as well.

ok let me correct myself, i put my foot in my mouth. it is bugusing, but the admin is currently investigating the situation and what actions should be taken. I will leave it at that.

But to be safe, I still recommend building an embassy.

But in any case, there are advantages in having an embassy.

Although I have researched enough to build an embassy, I did not realise that I had to build one in order to be a member of an alliance. The game allowed me to apply and be accepted into an alliance without an embassy. If this is a bug, there is no warning in-game to get the "bug abusers" to conform while we wait for a bugfix. I will certainly be building an embassy as soon as I can as I do not want to risk being punished for accidentally abusing a bug that is disguised as perfectly acceptable gameplay. I am someone who reads up on as much as I can about the games that I play and would certainly never consider cheating, which is why I'm so surprised to hear this news. I expect there are many other players in a similar situation that won't read this thread and I'm wondering what can be done to help them.

You need an embassy to be in alliance. There currently is a bug in this version that allows you to apply without one. If you use this bug, you can be banned.
