To automatically clean up inactive alliances members, inactive alliances and give new inexperienced players a fair chance to join and learn from a active alliance:
- When a Alliance Member ... "has been inactive for a significant period of time, and their base has been removed from the Map" ... also remove that player from any alliance they are member of.
If they return to the game, they can always reapply to any alliance.
and
- When a Alliance Marshall ... "has been inactive for a significant period of time, and their base has been removed from the Map" ... dissolve the Alliance by removing all other players from the alliance except the Marshall, and hide the alliance and hq from the game.
That way the Marshall who spent diamonds building the alliance, still are in control and can build the alliance up again if he/she/it returns. Those few members who still are active can join a new alliance.
As it is now, there are many many many old alliances that is open for new members to join, but most of the alliance members and managements has been removed from the map due to inactivity. (inactivity is 42 days,right?) Those alliances are not any help nor useful for any players. There are also a lot of alliances that seems to have a lot of players, but in reality has less than a handful players.
