Allegiance is a difficult game to learn how to play. It has a steep learning curve that does take a bit of time while you feel "clueless" and are learning how the game is played. But once you understand it, Allegiance is an amazing game and can be an exhilerating experience.

This is a guide to the many resources available to you and the suggested order to approach them.
