# Forming clans

There are ruins on the playing field - this is the destroyed Clan Castle. You can restore it for 40 000 of gold and discover the beauty of a social game!

The Clan Castle is completely optional, however, the restored Castle will allow you to create clan alliances, receive support troops and help your allies.

You can join a clan by clicking on :trophy: and selecting a clan from the list. Note that entry restrictions may apply:

* minimal requirement for the number of :trophy:
* acceptance only via invitations

If you need help from allied troops, click Request button in the Clan Castle and clan members will receive your call. Each clan has its own private Telegram-chat, where clan members communicate.

The donated troops can be used further either in the land defense or while attacking the other players' lands.
