Guild Leader Succession Mini-Guide

Greetings Settlers,

Below, you will find more information about the guild succession system. So, how does it work, exactly?

There are two ways of changing the guild leader:

1. Guild Leader Steps Down
   
   This kind of guild leader change is triggered by the guild leader. After he/she clicks the respective button, the request is sent to the next person in the hierarchy, basing on a succession order.
   
   If the successor accepts the request (to take over the guild), he receives a notification and all leader rights.
   
   
   
2. Inactivity
   
   This kind of guild leader change is triggered when the guild leader is inactive for more than 15 days. When this happens (inactivity of a guild leader), the request to take over the guild is sent to the next person in the hierarchy, basing on the succession order.
   
   If the successor declines to take over the guild, the request is sent to next person in hierarchy. When the request is accepted, the "old" leader gets a notification.
   
   If all successors decline to take over the guild, the timer of inactivity starts from beginning. If the guild leader is inactive for another 15 days, the whole process starts again.

General rules related to guild leader change:

1. Taking Over the Guild Leadership
   • The request must be accepted within 7 days.
   
   • If the successor doesn't have a guild house on the home-island, he/she needs to build it within 7 days in order to be able to accept the request.
   
   • If the request is declined or the successor doesn't have a guild house on the home-island within the required time, the request (taking over guild leadership) is handed down to a next person in the hierarchy.
   
   
2. Changing the Succession Order
   • Default succession ranks are based on seniority (i.e. how long you have been in the guild).
   
   • The succession order can be changed by the guild leader.
   
   
3. Daily Guild Quest Status
   1. Status: None
      No quest has been assigned to a player, there are two reasons possible:
      • Player was not active while the previous Daily Guild Quest chain (main task) was completed or when the new Daily Guild Quests were assigned.
      • Guild is not big enough to receive Daily Guild Quests (minimum 10 active members).
      
      
   2. Status: Open
      A Daily Guild Quest is assigned to a player, but it was not fulfilled yet.
      
      
   3. Status: Completed
      Player completed a Daily Guild Quest from the current chain.

BB_Effiluna ! Thank you for this!

"Default succession ranks are based on seniority (i.e. how long you have been in the guild)."

Thank you for the info Effiluna! :) I know you said that the default succession rank is supposed to be based on seniority but this is not the case in both guilds I am in on Ares and Zeus. This may be something that the devs want to take a closer look at because the succession order that was generated when this update came out was not based on seniority at all. Just FYI...

This thing is broken.

It would be very helpful if the Member guild quest status showed the number of consecutive days that the member has been inactive.

last log in date would be even better

It would be even better if the succession column worked and didn't steal the guilds away like support just gave mine away after "fixing" another issue and now don't know (or won't) fix it back, but read this:
