Don’t add people to your alliance if you don’t trust them

IMO. Biggest issue with spies was notifying about bombs and zeros neither of which would be solved this way

No. What you are suggesting is basically limit what makes an allegiance one and break the implicit trust inherent to the allegiance ties. I get you are trying to do this from a human resource problem perspective. But that’s where you should focus. Not breaking how allegiance works but instead focus on who and how you are recruiting.

i have not, and will never, spy. I pride myself over being a straightforward person and I personally dont like to play the game that way. however, this is a strategy game, and spying is still a strategy.
just because i dont agree with limiting coord availability it doesnt mean I spy -- dont even think we have any spies in 21 at this point 🤣
additionally, some flaws regarding the system.
- shuffles would be a nightmare if not everyone can get coords
- if someone is getting zeroed, you can check coords for it
- rally targets are still visible, so that major aspect of spies is not applicable
as asturic said, i suggest you choose whom you let into your alliance, this game is as much strategy as it is about social interactions. as you progress through the kingdoms, people start building reputations, so work on your reputation as it might starts coming into play more and more

This is what bubbles are for!

I understand where you’re coming from trying to protect littles from getting zeroed. While coords are mostly used to find and zero unbubbled players in the newer kingdoms, unfortunately that’s not the case for older kingdoms. There is a lot of use in all teammates being able to see each others coords that the more you play the more you will discover.
While I doubt who the coords are visible to will change at any point there is still things you can do to help. For instance instead of changing it you can use this feature instead. Years ago when my kingdom was younger we had teammates who were usually smaller players and t4s as well be assigned the job of every few hours going thru the banners coords and checking our teammates bubbles. This way if they find someone getting zeroed or have forgotten their bubble they can easily tag them on discord and warn them. Or tag teammates to rein them or siege them if they are getting attacked.
But what would be most helpful for any smaller keep is to develop the habit of always being bubbled. Even if not a single person can see their coords their keep is still on the map. Visible to anyone that is looking. So there is no other way to protect yourself from that except using a bubble.
FYI majority of smaller keeps will quit regardless if they got zeroed or not because at one point of the game there will be so many stronger keeps on the map that it will make it impossible for anyone without stats to even hold a 1* sop or unbubble for even a second. The kingdom I’m in anyone under 1B power and stats should bubble.
Spied will always be a thing. No way to avoid that. Now they are just there to find your unbubbled littles. Later they will be there to see how well your seats are reined or when you’re setting rallies, etc. You just need to work around it. And yes clicking coords one by one is a lot of work but that can be a good thing. For a team to be strong and active you need everyone in the team to be involved and the more people have specific tasks within the team, keeping them engaged and active the better. The older your kingdom gets the bigger the difference would be between the stats of your strongest and weakest keep. Soon a lot of the weaker keeps will have no business being anywhere near a keep rally or sop defense and at that point the only way to keep them engaged and a contributing member of the team is by assigning tasks to as many people as you can. You can always ask for people to volunteer checking coords - often that would be the only way certain keeps can help the team.
We used to have a bubble team that had maybe even 10 people at one point. They get assigned slots based on their availability. Sometimes it’s just certain t2 lines or full banner that they are responsible for. They have their own page in the server where they mark when they did their rounds etc.
The older the kingdom the less and less you would see people zeroing keeps over rss if it happens at all. It’s usually just to prove you can. When you spend a lot of money building a monster keep you want to use it.
