Challenge Clan leader
There should be a game function where any elder within a clan can challenge the clan leader for the title. This would help solve issues of clan leaders that abandon game play, so others can take over position and this would also add a function for active members who think they can do better to take charge of the clan.
Mechanics could be player vs player +
A large pre-resource cost is. 50mil all resources to challenge (war prep cost for challeneger) + (1/2hr March time to allow clan leader to defend) regardless of shields up as most advanced players would have constant shields up
Player who wins takes title
Player who loses gets expelled from clan (if challenger)
Clan leader who loses, loses clan leader title and is stepped down to warlord. New clan leader can decide there fate. (Expelled/remain)
I think this would help keep competition within clans strong, this would however require that every clan would need a minimum mandatory set of elder postions so clan leaders can’t just have no elders for a no challenge.
