Why not have alliance specific troops.  Like a skinner troop that kills and then brings back the parts.  

Not sure how we could get it to apply to herbs and minerals though.  Maybe you set to occupy for a certain period of time and they have to defend against factions or animals but then your gather units don't have to travel back and forth.  

Perhaps instead of T1 cav they have some time of delivery cav.

Of course the downside of getting to far into specialization is that you would be locking them out of half the game.

I think the military alliance type should receive some kind of penalty for trading i.e van capacity reduced and taxes are higher

I also think that the trading alliance should only get a -80% troop penalty against player troops- they should have no penalty against npc troops to allow people to craft.

i can see people bailing in and out of alliances to suit the situation.  A leadership of 2 people could maintain 4 alliance types and shift players around.  This reduces alliances to pieces of rather powerful equipment. An alliance of 100 players could shift into 4x confed military alliances at the first sniff of trouble...

Now that I think about it, the bonuses could be built.  Think 1-20 with level 20 requiring millions of resources so the whole alliance has to send to the capital building.

And these are just ideas, the devs can take some and leave some, whatever they find feasible, I don't know what they have planned for the future, for all i know some of the updates could make some or all of this obsolete. but I can't read their minds.

you would lose those vans and the extra storage space the moment u jumped alliances, and what i posted was just rough numbers, nothing in stone, if need be there could be an imposed delay between alliances.

I would say you should tie the benefit to some type of in game stat such as faction standing.  Seems a bit crazy that you could have 10x the number of trade units then when war starts everyone just jumps to the military sister alliance.

Sounds  very doable, ... a set of standards for each type of alliance.. and adding a little speed up to the cause of each alliance. We definitely need some speed SOMEWHERE in this game.

I think the idea in general for alliances to be able to choose specific benefits (and accompanying decrements) is a good one.  The exact proposed bonuses and penalties might be a little too extreme, but the general idea could add to the game in an interesting way.
