Growing your alliance through mergers
Your alliance is competitive, but a few inactive slots and a slow recruitment pipeline are holding it back. Another group could help, if you merge for the right reasons.

Look for active players, not inflated numbers
Twenty-five reliable contributors may offer more than a nominal group of seventy. Ask about activity, Alliance Duel, events, progression and willingness to move.
Understand what they are giving up
Their R5 and officers may have spent months building friendships and routines. You are offering an opportunity, but asking them to surrender something meaningful. Treat that with respect.
Protect your direction without arrogance
Your alliance has a strategy and culture worth preserving. Explain the non-negotiables, but stay open to useful ideas from incoming members.
Avoid two alliances under one banner
Mix people in events and chat. Use one set of expectations. Recognise contributions from both groups and address factional behaviour early.
Check the result
After a few weeks, compare active contributors, event attendance, Alliance Duel participation and retention on both sides. A merger that loses your existing core may be a net loss.
