R1: I completely agree. It should cost you something to create an alliance so that you are not continuously creating an deleting alliances. Having it cost a credit shows you are dedicated to creating and sustaining an alliance. R2: Players shouldn't be restricted from creating an alliance other than R1. It would be worth adding a disclaimer when creating an alliance that it is not recommended to create an alliance if you are new and instead suggests joining an alliance (not suggesting any alliances specifically). R3: Similar to my comment on R2 it shouldn't be restricted but is instead a notification stating that this is a new alliance and it is recommended you join a more senior alliance. This promotes pushing new players to well established alliances, but does not take away the choose to join a newer alliance. A1: I'm not sure how this would be implemented without inadvertently pushing players to specific alliances, whether on purpose or inadvertently. N1: I completely agree. No need to effect existing alliances. N2: This should be assumed. N3: I do not think there should be any mechanic restricting a player from leaving or joining any alliance for any reason. If a player is constantly leaving alliances, then this is up to the alliance to determine that this player is not worth the effort. N4: Honestly, it shouldn't be a requirement that you know what you are doing in order to create an alliance. If a player wants to create an alliance without knowing what they are doing then they should be able to. They will learn very quickly what mistakes were made and can correct those, if they do not learn then they will have to continue to accept the consequences of in game actions.
