I've seen many times where it has been said that this is a requirement for entry. I for one, and the directions I've given my Secretary follow suite, have never held the lack of military presence when an application is made as a reason to deny entry. I have always required the new member to beef up ASAP afterward, but not before joining. If they fall in that situation, I say to point out that for military aid to be rendered then they need to adhere to the minimum standing army requirements.
I remember why POG2 was first formed there were some that were looking at leaving POG because they disagreed with the alliance dictating what troops and how many everyone had to make. I agree with both sides. Each player should be free to design their army however they see fit, it is their account after all, but the alliance should not be required to protect people who make no effort to protect themselves. That said, I think the set number of attack and defense points per town level gives the greatest flexibility in creating the army, that is why I suggested it that way. To finish this off I would amend the numbers I stated before to 174 attack points, and 137 defense points. The difference is the addition of 15 attack and 17 defense, the same as 1 ballista ship. That way each player can choose if they make the protection all ground troops, all naval units, or a mix. If the player decides on a mix, then they will already have recommendations for what to use. However, the end choice is always left to the player
