3-10. Alliance Ranks

Alliances are structured into five hierarchical ranks (R1 to R5), with each rank granting specific permissions to manage alliance operations:

R1

R2

R3

R4

R5 – Alliance Leader

The Alliance Leader (R5) holds ultimate authority, while R4 officers share significant administrative responsibilities. Lower ranks (R3 to R1) are progressively have less administrative capeabilities.

Rank 5: Alliance Leader (R5)

The Alliance Leader oversees all critical alliance functions. They retain exclusive rights to disband the alliance, transfer leadership, or alter foundational alliance properties such as its name, emblem, language, and recruitment criteria. They manage member ranks, approve or deny join requests, and expel members. In territorial matters, the Leader appoints or dismisses stronghold mayors, oversees fortress leadership changes, and controls migration settings.

The Leader initiates alliance-wide projects, including constructing or demolishing alliance buildings, starting research, and repairing alliance structures. They coordinate military actions such as raids, rally recruitment, and defense support. Communication tools like alliance-wide mail, marker settings, and online member visibility are fully accessible. No action is restricted to the Leader, making them the sole authority for irreversible decisions like disbanding the alliance.

Leadership succession

Leadership succession occurs in two ways:

1. Manual Delegation: The current Leader can voluntarily transfer the role to another member.

2. Automatic Takeover: If the Leader is inactive for 3 days, an active R4 member automatically assumes leadership.

If all R4 members are also inactive for 10 days, an active R3 member becomes eligible to take the role.
If no members of the required rank (R4 or R3) are active, leadership cannot be transferred automatically and must be delegated manually by the current Leader.

Rank 4 (R4)

Officers (R4) hold significant administrative authority but operate under restrictions to preserve alliance stability. They manage member-related tasks, including approving or rejecting alliance join requests, inviting new members, expelling members (excluding the Alliance Leader), and adjusting ranks for members below R5. Officers can initiate and oversee alliance activities such as starting research projects, restocking the alliance shop, setting alliance markers, and sending alliance-wide mail.

In military operations, R4 members can organize raids, including starting raids and managing reservations or cancellations. They monitor alliance activity through tools like checking online member statuses and participating in alliance chat. Officers also assist with territorial management, such as viewing alliance territories and contributing to basic repairs, though they lack permissions to appoint or dismiss stronghold mayors or alter fortress leadership.

Rank 2 (R2) & Rank 3 (R3)

R3 members can donate resources to ongoing alliance research projects and offer help to other members through in-game assistance mechanics. They participate in alliance rallies, join raids, and engage in alliance chat for coordination. R3s also have access to view basic alliance information, including member lists, territories, and shared resources.

They receive benefits from alliance buildings, such as resource boosts or defensive bonuses, and can collect gifts distributed within the alliance.

R3 members use the alliance shop to purchase items. They interact in alliance chat and view real-time updates on alliance activities but cannot send alliance-wide mail or set markers.

Rank 1 (R1)

R1s view alliance resources, territories, and members, use chat and shops, and receive gifts. Initiates donate to research, offer help, and join rallies but cannot withdraw resources, invite players, or participate in administrative decisions.
