More Involved Alliance Wars

The alliance wars are definitely cool but as a member of my alliance, not a vice or leader, I kind of feel removed from the whole alliance war. I donate lots of stuff to help out, but all I ever really see is war reports in the mail, and my honor shooting up occasionally. I think there should be a way for all of the members of an alliance to get involved in wars without just donating. Maybe allowing all the members to control a certain portion of troops, or making attacks on other alliances outside of mine have an affect on alliance prestige. I know that I would feel like I made a real contribution and have more to do than just stare at chat.

I feel like members are getting jipped out of the experience too

If there are no vices/leader on and you are attacked, a member can take control of the battle. But that's about it
