Gangs
Gangs are the social core of Ancients. Your squad shares a vault and bank, unlocks gang-wide upgrades, fights over outposts, raids rival cells, earns Gang Points, and climbs the leaderboard for weekly Obol payouts.
Creating a gang
Run /g create <name>. It's free. Names can be up to 12 characters and may only use standard letters, numbers, and symbols. Names with slurs, hate terms, sexual words, swearing or staff names are refused. You become the gang's Leader. /gang and /gangs work as aliases for /g everywhere.
One squad of four
A gang is a single squad of up to 4 members, including the leader. There's no split between a roster and a smaller "active line-up", and no AFK auto-bench. Every seat counts, so pick your squad carefully.
Membership also sticks through logout now — you stay in your gang when you log off and step right back in when you return.
Roles run on a simple ladder: Leader → Co-Leader → Mod → Member. Higher roles can invite, promote, and manage the gang. See Gang Membership & Roles for the full command list.
