How to tell an alliance will collapse

1. Teut heavy.

Most likely a few players who got to the top just because they are Teuts and can churn out cheap troops, not through any skill at all. And of course, this usually leads to...

2. Preferential treatment for a few big, offensive players.
Which means you have very few defense and a lot of unhappy smaller players. The few anvils they have will probably get few respect and are dying to jump ship. Usually, only the big, offensive players get any leadership position which means...

3. Clique-y leaders.

4. Recruiting much too fast.
This is when all sorts of trash gets into the alliance. Farms, inactives, spies, etc. All you get is a bunch of accounts who do nothing but whine when they get attacked, waste precious defensive troops and add fuel to the flame when people get pissed. And obviously, there will be big players pissed over farms getting in.

And that's a shortcut to finding out if your alliance is about to collapse.
