We Play this Game Wrong

[anaupr]

I am a fairly new player, so ignore this if you want, but from my experience with this kind of game, we are playing it wrong. I looked at the alliance list, and there were hundreds of 1 through 3 player alliances. The fewer allies we have, the less powerful we are. If there is not enough room in your alliance, you simply create a sub-alliance. I am the leader of an alliance Spartan_300. We only have four members now (soon to be three, one player has quit the game) and we are small, but join the Spartan Empire (copyright 2014 lol) and we will soon become powerful.
