grouping of troops

this may or may not have been mentioned and atm my school comp is lagging so heres my idea. Everyone or most everyone has seen and ad saying "we offer protection" but really how can u do this? ill use myself and a fake alliance as an expample. lets say there and alliance named 1234 they have 3 lvl 16 members now im lvl 17 and i attack a lvl 15 member and steal 20k pres. really this alliance has very few choices. 1 it could starve me btu starveing is just lazy work and even if units starve if u cant beat them its useless. 2 farm me problem is if my army is bigger even just slightly then the strongest member if they attack me and i defend i will win and then they lose mroe pres. 3 have all members gang up and attack my oasises and cities while i sleep. this could be a problem but i can ask my guild for help and then now its an alliance problem. so really there is no way to really protect someone. i suggest a way to defend a city from an atatck or group units up and launch an attack. this would make joining an alliance actually worth something then a group of chat buddies. this would add somethign new to haypi and always keep people guessing what will happen.

now a few things i have thout of. i was thinking of a tech that would determine the amount of people that their armies can be at the city. the lost units and prestiege gained from a winning attack or defend will be divded by the amu of people that helped make the group and added or minused by the total . the tech and stats will be based on the city that the armies are grouped in. the prestiege lost from the loseing attack or defend will be divided and subtracted by the people that helped make the group. anything i may have overlooked? i think adding this will make gaining and keeping pres easyer and harder also it will make people think twice about attacking a person or defending from a hidden attack.

I think everyone i have ever played with has mentioned something like this. It would be helpful, but could become a problem as well. Say the top ranked alliance combines there members and starts attacking everyone. In my server the top ranked alliance is made up of mostly top 50's. This would make it impossible to hit attack any of them. I am in the #1 alliance and we stopped taking members cause we were getting to big and didnt want to over power anyone. This would/could cause that problem. This is just my opinion but if well thought out could be very nice, especially when you are a smaller player.

This was on the first page of suggestions:

Lookie Lookie

I'm pretty sure it has been mentioned but I didn't read alot of it's so long lol

true thats a benifit to being in a top ranked alliance kinda? see our top alliance has like 130m pres but i am willing to bet 80m of that pres is inactive even 3 people in the top 4 are in it and they probly have 40m+ combined. the point of haveing an alliance right now is at most to talk to people. well for noobs an alliance can help u get some treasures but for those lvl17 like myself we wont need any more treasures but crowns and sceptors and both those are next to impossible to get w/o coins. other then that kind of support aliances is just a wc for certin people

atm alliances are just to steal subs and chat nothing more to do atm
