The advantages is that you know how teh agreement that you will not go into war with them, you can also use there wepons.

Benefits of an alliance are someone there to always help out and have to call on. If someone else brings an ally you can, if a clan is much bigger than you but you think the strength of your ally ship is stronger you can challenge. It also brings understanding and motivation to the clans. Working alongside another clan isn't always the easiest thing, after all you both clearly don't have the same thoughts or you would merge and make one idea with a stronger influence. Therefore you have to use each other and work with what sometimes you don't feel is right.
