1) no limit

+ easier to get into alliances
+ everybody can play with whoever they like. this prevents the blocking politics where a bunch of friends lead key positions in different alliances which are anyways led like 1 alliance
+ with a certain % instead of a fix number of players which contribute into score every alliance has a pool for new players which dont harm them
+ epic wars between maybe just 2 alliances

- Politics might get obsolete if it really ends in just 2 alliances

2) Leave as it is

+ Everyone gets the chance to play a game they know for like 10 years
+ Politics possible

- current player diversity doesnt allow any different naps/blocks than we see every god damn round
- New players don't get any chance
- Training alliances are missused as farms (believe me, i know it)

3) Limit alliances to 30-50
+ Competitive wars
+ Better diplomacy/politics option if player distribution is healthy

- ... if not: 1 alliance will own all others
- alliances will be even more strict on how they let in
- the game will become even more hardcore as smaller tags mean that a higher activity level is vital
- No chance for smaller alliances without hardcore players
