Re: Inactive Alliance Leader
Nope, you can't do anything. Only the leader (owner) of the alliance can change settings of the alliance.
There is also another rank, I think it's called officier, they can kick members and accept members if your alliance has join requests enabled. But the leader himself has to assign the rank.
You have 3 options:
1: Ask EA/Redwood if they can help. I doubt that it will work since A: the devs have kinda abandoned the game, B: it would get too personal and EA/Redwood might not want to change anything. But you can surely try.
2: Try to contact the leader somehow. Facebook, discord, etc. All he has to do is come online once, give officier rank (or even ownership!) to another player and boom, all problems are gone (yes, the leader CAN transfer ownership, but ONLY HE can).
3: Last hope: Make a new alliance. Invite everyone over and hope that this time everything will turn out fine.
Those are the options you have. There are no others. Our alliance has the same problem atm and right now we are trying to contact the leader somehow. He just has to come online for 2 minutes and do like 5 clicks and that's it.
