What Happens to an Alliance if the leader leaves?

[Patroclus93]

Say you create an alliance and you decide to leave it while there are no other members. What happens to the alliance? Can you still regain control over it if you decide to continue?

I found two useful references to your specific question:

Please note-If you are the only member of your Alliance and decide to leave, the Alliance will be deleted and you will not be able to return.

A quick check in beta suggests that an empty alliance is deleted.

Overview of Alliance Leadership Change Situations

To give an overview of different combinations of Leadership change scenarios in general:

I believe the way it works is that if the Leader leaves and there are one or more Co-Leaders already, one of them will automatically be made Leader.

The existing Leader can also transfer the leadership to another player before leaving.

If there are no Co-Leaders and the Leader leaves, I think the alliance becomes stuck without a Leader.

If the alliance has only the Leader, and they leave, the alliance is deleted. If you create an alliance that you’re the only member of and would like to leave it and return to it later, one solution is to create an alt account to remain in the alliance as the Leader.

If the Leader just stops playing, but remains in the alliance, then they’re a zombie forever; there’s no way to claim the Leadership, or kick them.

In general, if an alliance gets stuck without a Leader, the best thing to do is to make a new alliance and have everyone migrate. Here’s a guide on that:

Can You Migrate a Whole Alliance? The Migration Toolkit

Introduction: When we started the process of moving our entire player population from one alliance to another we consulted the forum. Although we got some good advice from individual respondents, there certainly wasn’t an abundance of threads to draw on. For that reason I have written a report on our experience. I hope it’s useful to anyone in a similar situation; I appreciate that every alliance is different but perhaps you will find some inspiration here. If you have any questions or comment…

Some additional references:

Transfer Leadership

As leader, you can appoint a co-leader and transfer leadership to them prior to leaving. If there are several existing co-leaders and you leave without appointing one as leader, the system should appoint one as leader for you, but you will have no say over which one is made Leader in your stead.

Leader leaving

Just wondering can the leader of a alliance step down without the alliance folding. There is a co leader willing to step up to leader.

How do I start a leadership?

I am happy to tell you how to do each step. As others have pointed out, these are only how to make a leader, co-leader, elder, etc. They do not guarantee the result of a good leader, co-leader, etc. To become a leader (you must be alliance-less) Click alliance button at bottom of screen; follow prompts (and pay the gems required) to make your new alliance You will automatically be Leader until you leave the alliance or promote someone else to leader. (If you do not promote someone before l…

Demoted from leader?

The only two ways a leader can be demoted is if: A) they promote another player to Leader B) they leave the alliance and come back (they will be a member upon returning, and must be promoted back to Leader by whomever is left in charge as Leader).

Props to @zephyr1 for his research, but what is the “it” you are proposing to come back to if the alliance is just you? There is no there there. Poof. Gone.

I was hoping to answer both @Patroclus93’s question, and the broader question of the thread title. If I have any inaccuracies let me know so I can edit accordingly.

Other solutions is just make alt account, join in there , make the alt leader, and problem solve, anytime the leader want to take back his previous alliance.

[zephyr1]

Thanks, @Lagun, I updated my post to include that.

[Patroclus93]

Thanks man! You answered the question perfectly! I didn’t even think of an alt account! I just wanted a way to keep it since the gems are spent, in case I wanted to move on. Thank you!

All Co-Leaders receive a letter in their inbox: “Rock, Paper, Scissors 2 Player Battle.” If there’s an odd number of Co-Leaders, the odd one faces the E&P Summon Drop Rate AI. If nobody responds because it seems like a joke, everyone gets kicked out, the alliance is deleted, and everyone must find a new alliance.
