Sorry to Quote from two threads but I feel your in contradiction or at least not fully explaining your side of the argument.

While you are not stating specifically in the second quote that defence be should be removed, you are implying that defence isnt a final factor in the role of alliance members, there by suggesting that defence isnt a requirement of the game.
