Alliance Founder Leaves
So, you started a Travian alliance and you want to quit? So, you need to know what happens when the alliance founder leaves the alliance. Maybe your the co-leader, and you want to bump off the alliance founder. Maybe you just want to quit the alliance and move to the World Wonder meta-alliance.
The boys and I have done some testing, and this is how it works:
The alliance founder may be special because he holds the embassy, and started with all the privileges, but the founder is no different from any other account in the guild. If you give “assign position” to another player, he can use those rights to remove your privileges, or even kick you from the alliance you have founded! So, be very careful giving rights out. Reserve “assign position” for yourself. No one else should need this, unless of course you want to leave, or become inactive. If the founder of the alliance deletes, or quits, nothing happens.
That’s right if you quit, no one will even notice. Just make sure you gave “assign position” to someone else in the guild, because then they will have full control over every aspect of the guild. If the founder quit and gave no one “assign position” well then you’re all screwed.
The number of players an alliance can hold is based on the LARGEST embassy in the group. This embassy need not be the founder’s! If you get tired of building the embassy, make someone else do it. Delegate the task to a good Teuton player who can afford it. As long as he doesn’t have “assign position” he has no extra power except that he can destroy the embassy, and force you to rebuild it.
If your embassy is catapulted, you do not lose any players. You simply can’t add new players until you rebuild it.
I’d like to make a correction to something in this article.
When an Alliance Founder leaves without assigning powers to someone then those powers automatically fall to the remaining Alliance member with the highest population.
If you find yourself in this situation just go to the options tab on your Alliance page and you’ll suddenly find a bunch of new powers.
I know because this happened to me.
Thanks for the comment Matt!
It is possible this feature has been added to Travian since the time I originally wrote this post. Can anyone confirm this behavior?
yes, i can confirm this ;)
Well, our alliance leader left, and the next two leaders left, and I was the highest remaining player and had no ability to assign duties even after I raised my Embassy level to the appropriate level. I contacted Travian Support by e-mail and they told me that if no one had the ability to assign duties we would have to disband and re-form.
I am not entirely clear on this.
Situation:
Everyone has left but myself and one other person. I have the highest population and no, no positions were assigned when the leader left. HOWEVER, even after the leader left, two of the other members were still able to leave the alliance. When I try my options I cannot leave the alliance! Why is it that the other two were able to go after the leader had left but not I? I am apart of S6 if that helps.
