Alliance Ranks

Unlike in other games, I want to encourage that alliance ranks reflect true power and experience of all alliances more adequately.
I'm still in the middle of studying for my exams but i figured people might want to know how alliance rankings would work.

Ranks will be calculated by 3 means. Number in brackets signifies how much it weighs in calculating rank
Total power (2/5): Self explanatory, the more power an alliance has the tougher it'll most likely be as an opponent (but not always)
Member Total War Experience(2/5): Sum of war experience of all members, the more they fought and killed and stolen stuff the more experienced they can be expected to be.
Alliance War experience(1/5): Experience value equal to half (uncertain modifier, could also be full value or only a third, suggestions accepted) the experience points gathered by members whilst part of said alliance

Last minute thought:
Combined army size of alliance, certainly a significant part of an alliance military and economic power. (If does get implemented will count toward total rank with a weight 1/6)

Benefits:
Established and long lasting alliances are better reflected in ranks even during war time.
Limited ability with rank distortion by training up tons of spies
Truly only the old and experienced alliances (assuming they still hold a fair amount of skilled and powerful players) will be at the top of the rankings, but i think we can all agree that's what alliance ranks should be about.

As always, feedback is always welcome

good idea.

i hate it when people say ......... has the most power therefore they are best alliance, and this would be a good true means of deducing it.

i think it should contain all of the above and sum sort of economy efficiency element etc. As that has to be one of the more important things to consider when picking best alliance.

i like the combined army size and war exp makes sense instead of having stat builders with no up power.

ok, so expect weighings like this

Current power 2/10
Member combined war exp 3/10
Alliance war exp 2/10
Total Army size 3/10

btw coding alliances and alliance ranks should only take a day including fixing bugs but that's a day i don't have, at least until my exams lol

But basically with this system, a few things will be made sure.
1) No Fresh new alliance will be able to reach rank 1 righ away, no matter who's creating it. Cos imagine making a new brand for a product, it takes time until it's famous (but the bigger the company generally you need less time to make it famous )
2) The glory of being a fearsome alliance on rank 1 cannot be attained by a bunch of stat builders and wussies
3) Even the most fearsome fighters cannot be considered a threat if they have no economic power to fund their warmongerisms (lol that a word at all?)

sounds good

so does that mean alliances wil b released?
