Alliance settings
Alliance settings is where R5 (and R4 for some panels) configures how the platform behaves for the whole alliance — Desert Storm day and time, server reset hour, VS input mode, branding colours, Discord webhook URL, server-directory visibility, performance expectations, and more. Saving any panel revalidates the relevant cached pages so changes show up immediately.

The panels
- General — alliance name, in-game tag, server number, server reset hour. The reset hour anchors the Arms Race tracker, the daily check-in board, and any per-day cadence the platform shows.
- Desert Storm — match day, match start time, auto-create toggle, default battlefield template, opponent label. Drives the Friday match auto-creation flow.
- Alliance Duel — daily vs weekly input mode, tracked positions, donation tracked positions. Affects how VS rankings flow into Pulse.
- War windows / safe time — the candidate windows members vote on for the daily safe-time slot, plus war days configuration.
- Branding — alliance logo and theme colour. Surfaces on the dashboard, exported hive maps, and announcements.
- Discord — webhook URL for posting announcements and DS lifecycle events to the alliance Discord.
- Server directory — whether your alliance shows in the public server-directory listing for treaty discovery.
- Performance expectations — per-signal target values that Pulse uses for absolute scoring.
- Custom audiences — saved member lists for re-targeting announcements without re-picking members each time.
- Season — pick the active Last War season so the season checklist and resistance overlay match.
- Privacy and data — DSAR export, data deletion, and public-listing opt-outs.
- Danger zone — leave the alliance, transfer leadership (R5 only), or delete the alliance entirely. All destructive actions require typed confirmation.
R5-only vs R4-editable
R5 holds the panels that shape the alliance's identity and bar: General, Branding, Performance Expectations, Server directory opt-in, the Danger zone. R4 can read those but can't change them.
R4 can edit the operational panels alongside R5: Desert Storm, Alliance Duel input mode, War windows, Discord webhook, Custom audiences, Season. The split keeps day-to-day match coordination flexible while protecting the asks that should stay leader-controlled.
Common configuration
Three settings drive most of the rest of the platform:
- Server reset hour. The hour of UTC when your in-game server rolls over to the next day. Anchors Arms Race phases, daily check-ins, and various per-day cadences.
- Desert Storm day and time. Drives auto-creation of the weekly match, signup deadlines, and the 60-minute personal reminder.
- Discord webhook URL. Optional but the single biggest QoL upgrade once configured — DS events, announcements, and reminders land in the alliance channel without copy-paste.
