Running a top alliance in Top Lords comes down to four jobs: keep 20+ active members so you qualify for Alliance Duel, give your R4s clear jobs, plan each week around Alliance Duel and Kingdom Duel, and keep your spenders with you. R4s can declare war, recruit and manage alliance tech. Only the R5 can transfer leadership or change join rules.

This is the leader's version of Top Lords: roles, the weekly calendar, recruiting without losing rewards, and how to look after the players who carry your rallies.
Who can do what: R1 to R5
| Rank | Permissions |
|---|---|
| R1 to R2 | View members, leave the alliance |
| R3 | Same, plus adjust member ranks |
| R4 | Edit the notice, set the assembly point, mail members, remove members, open recruitment and accept applications, upgrade and recommend alliance tech, change the banner, declare war, remove reinforcements, abandon captured cities |
| R5 | Everything R4 can do, plus change flag, name, tag and language, change join requirements, use Teleport Invite, transfer leadership and disband. The R5 cannot leave |
Source: the fan guide at toplordsintel, checked October 2026. The in-game screen may add conditions, like a timer before war can be declared.
There are also titles: Warlord, Recruiter, Muse and Steward. A title is separate from rank and, per the same guide, does not give a combat or resource bonus. Use titles to show members who owns which job.
Give every R4 one job
An alliance with five R4s who all do everything is an alliance where nobody does anything. Split the work:
| Job | What they own | Weekly check |
|---|---|---|
| War lead (Warlord title) | Day 6 targets, rally times, the Friday Capital Siege and the Kingdom Duel Saturday plan | Rally roster ready by Friday |
| Recruiter | Applications, the join rules, replacing inactive members | Member count above 20 with room to spare |
| Duel lead | Save list for each Alliance Duel day, evening reminders, points tracking | Daily points recorded |
| Economy lead (Steward title) | Alliance tech priorities, Cargo Ship and Alliance Trade | Tech queue never idle |
| Community lead (Muse title) | Chat, new member welcome, events reminders | New members greeted in their first day |
The leader's weekly calendar
| When | What to do |
|---|---|
| Sunday | Alliance Duel matching runs. Check you are in the top 32 by power. Post the week plan and the save list |
| Monday to Friday (Days 1 to 5) | One reminder each evening for tomorrow's theme. Track who scores |
| Friday | Capital Siege inside your kingdom. Agree in advance who goes for the Capital and who gets which position |
| Saturday (Day 6) | Enemy Elimination, worth 4 Duel Score. Targets, shields for weaker accounts, rally times |
| Kingdom Duel weeks | Coordinate World Boss and Gold Mine Conquest with the other alliances on your server. Stock healing for Saturday |
| Weekly reward mail | Only after it lands do you move players in or out |
Day by day detail is in the Alliance Duel guide, and the server side is in Kingdom Duel and Capital Siege.
Recruiting without losing rewards
- Stay above 20. Alliance Duel needs at least 20 members. Recruit before you drop to the limit, not after.
- Recruit between weeks. A player who joins mid duel cannot add alliance points for one day. A player who leaves forfeits that week's victory rewards. Tell recruits to wait for the weekly reward mail before they move.
- Castle 11 is the floor. Players below Castle 11 cannot take part in Alliance Duel.
- Use the finders. toplordsintel has an alliance finder and server tracker. Post your alliance there and in your kingdom chat with a clear pitch: activity, time zone, duel record.
Tools leaders use
- lordtracker: a paid alliance tool with VS tracking, a Cargo Ship captain planner, calendars and battle planning.
- toplordsintel: fan databases and calculators, an alliance finder and guides on Alliance Duel and Kingdom Duel.
- toplordswiki: a fan wiki with guides on city sieges, Capital Siege and alliance tech.
- A leaders' group chat. For Kingdom Duel you will need one with the other alliances on your server.
Keep your spenders with you
The players who carry your rallies are also the ones other alliances try to pull away. They rarely leave over power. They leave when they feel used. A few things that keep them:
- Give them a role, not just a rally slot. Rally leader, war lead, a voice in the Saturday plan.
- Respect their time. One clear plan per week beats ten pings a day.
- Help them spend smart. Share the Top Lords spending guide so their packs land on Day 4 and Day 6, where they help the alliance most.
- Recognise them in game. Titles and a mention in alliance chat after a win cost nothing and are noticed.
- Give back as an alliance. With the Packsify Alliance Dashboard, members who top up through your alliance link create alliance rewards that you can share with them.
For the bigger question your spenders will ask, point them to is Top Lords pay to win and Top Lords VIP levels.
Leaders from other servers swap notes in the Play Smarter Community, an independent players' Discord.
The Alliance Dashboard for Top Lords leaders
When your members order Top Lords packs through your alliance link, you get alliance rewards and can share them with your members. Your members get about 10 to 13% more pack value, with every pack bought through the official App Store or Google Play. Packsify has done this since 2021, with a 0 bans record and 4.9 on Trustpilot.
“This is a great app and amazing service… Never had an issue… Non issues with being banned at all, I have been using it for years now.”
