Dear community,

To encourage people to create more alliance henhouse asked me to implement a visualization on the character screen.
When you don't have a character a visual character will be displayed instead, unplayable, undeleteable.
The characters name will be changed to inform you of something, in the case of the video it will be "Alliance is preferred".

Just a note, this is not yet live on the server!

Enjoy, comment, Find the eastern egg :D

Looks nice hopefully more (new) people will roll Alliance now.

Solid idea, I like it.
Although it remains to be seen how greedy players are, I think in the end it only comes down to getting S3 as fast as possible.

Maybe you should give the fake character the twin blades and some super duper gear for the visual sight or something like that

I was joking about that too, having like S4 and Warglaives but then I realized we would get like 300 Irani tickets saying like, "gM HoW WArFGlIaViE ChaR pLAy mE?????????"

Thats why we prefer it, if we WANT it we will just disable the ability to create hordes.
