Hmmm...

As of this post, there are 18 alliances with 11+ members and 18 "alliances"* with 5 or less players. (none in between).

* - I use the quotes because it is hard to consider a 1 country tag an alliance.

fewer*

big 1s like laf etc hog most players.

there should be a limit of 40 players per clan

then you'd have LCN1, LCN2, LCN3

There could be more 40+ member alliances if their leaderships worked on it. Most of the old alliances have such huge membership bases to call upon.

But there is more to making alliances larger than just recruiting more people to them. The alliance needs to have activity, it needs to be enjoyable and it needs to give people good reason to be in it.

Along with a 40 member maximum,
A 750a lg max
Can only kill 7 civs max

If we put caps on everything no one could fluff! Count me in!

Big clan are filled with noobs thou. They tend to join big clan because they don't wanna get picked on ;]
