A simple variation of Evol, a project I have worked on for a bit. It is an open world, where all the land is pseudo-randomly generated and can be interacted with by using various skills or tools.
Clans: You can form your own clan or simply join one. Clan founders can control the path, the clan takes on in general, which abilities will be improved etc.
Alliances: Alliances are the groups formed from clans, it is like a nation. Clans can benefit from this by increasing their potential combat forces in the race for supremacy.
Territory: Clans can claim unclaimed land as their own and fight other clans for their territory.
Progression: A character's and their clan's progress is closely tied together. The individual character's activity and efforts improve the clan as a whole in terms of giving them more potential for growth. And the clan's improvement gives the character more powerful abilities to work with, in short they are complementary to each other.
