HOW TO TURN ON THE ALLIANCE SETTINGS FOR YOUR ARK SERVER?

Ark: Survival Evolved Alliances allow tribes to team up and cooperate. Each tribe can join up to five alliances, and each alliance can include up to 12 different tribes.

NOTE: Enabling Offline PvP Protection will disable alliance functionality automatically. You’ll need to manually re-enable alliances afterwards. It is advised you notify your server's members before applying any changes to either of these settings.
