Warning! Aside from some quick edits, this was written prior to transitioning to Steam and needs to be updated.
There are 5 steps to playing Allegiance.
- Download and install the game.
- Play the in-game training missions to learn the basics.
- Join a game online.
- Learn how to play.
Many new players think they can skip steps 3 and 5, but at a bare minimum you should do step 3 - the 7 Training Missions.
Learn How to Play
Allegiance is a complex game. I know you may be eager to jump in and try the game out and see what it's like, but please, please, play the seven training missions first. Otherwise you'll just annoy other players by asking fundamental questions like "How do I fire my boosters?"; and you'll be very lucky if you find someone willing to explain things that are already covered by the training missions.
Important! The Training Missions teach you everything about how to "play" the game, but nothing about how to work with your teammates, how to be useful to your commander, how to win the game.
The training missions are the tip of the iceberg with regards to learning how to play Allegiance. As an analogy: playing the training missions is like learning how to hit a golfball. Taking Allegiance Flight School is like learning which golf club to use, what the layout of the course is like, what obstacles you need to avoid, and most importantly where the hole is.
Tip: Allegiance Flight School teaches you a lot, but takes a lot of time to read through. If you just want to try this game out, try reading the Quick Crash Course first. It'll give you enough tips that you won't be completely lost during your first game.
Join a Game
With the previous 3 steps complete, it's a simple matter of running the game from Steam and joining a game.
