That said, I think if players are upset about alliances "keeping" inactive cities for themselves, they should probably attempt to seize the cities for themselves ... of course that does raise the risk that the alliance will retaliate.  However, if enough players are upset at this method of "reserving" cities for alliance members, eventually the alliance that does it will face public pressure and/or attacks that will make them stop. I personally like building up cities from scratch, so I don't have a dawg in this fight, but I don't think the devs should hard-code a solution for a problem the community can deal with if it chooses. I can see the point about questioning the wisdom of an alliance making it too easy for its members to grow without "paying their dues."  Personally I think that's an internal matter, and I intend to keep my nose out of other alliances' internal affairs.

for the sake of the newbies!
the cities are for those that are little

i see an upset dude that is stomping on the ground screaming " BUILD YOUR TOWNS ALONE LIKE I DID...ALOOOONEEEE!!!!!I HATE you silly little buggers that capture towns ..IT'S an ABUSEEE BWAAA"

Who captures which cities is completely irrelevant to me - and the problem of the individual aliance. If they dont want others to capture it they have the option of doing it themselves or razing the city, I just dont want alliances to be able to shield their inactives for more than two months.
Illyriad is a dynamic sandbox game and kicking inactives will show players what squares are in reality occupied by a "dead player" and reveal what alliances auto-inflate their numbers and strength and who do not.

It will in general terms decrease exploitation by having players skip the hard initial work in Illyriad when joining, which is very disrespectful to the general player base who start on their own and build their own account.

Unbelievable youre clinging to this exploit so tightly - are your alliances masses of "living dead"? Time to clean up this mess!
