I am considering creating a mercenary alliance, whose sole purpose is to cash in on bounties from top ranked players, and sell the combined forces of the mercenary alliance to the highest bidder.

Has anyone tried this before? The alliance would have no allegiances, and it would operate purely to collect bounties and collect payment from alliances who want a tactical advantage when they are at war with a stronger alliance.

I haven't worked out all the details. I think for this, an alliance member would leave the alliance and then join the alliance we are helping, receive the resources, and then rejoin my alliance once the payment is received.

What would be cool about this is that nobody would know that this is happening, so the alliance they are at war with wouldn't know about the incoming army until the last minute.

Why not just have the alliance requesting the help of the mercenary group put the bounty on the player/players they want defeated just previous to the attack. That way the Mercenaries claim their bounty, and if the Alliance requesting help pulls out and doesn't post a bounty, the Mercenaries simply return their squads before landing..

The person being targeted would have to have a power of over (50?) for a bounty to be placed, but IDK why you would pay someone to take another player out if they had less than 50 power anyway xD

In theory it sounds great, however I think some of the details are gonna make this hard. Such as with no allies(as you said in your first post) you are going to be under constant threat. Secondly I'm sure after about the 2-3 time of you "helping" an allience, others would find out your true intentions as an allience lol.

Still, if everything is setup and done right, it at the very least could make for an interesting era ^_^
