Rally timing, solved once

A rally has two clocks: the rally timer (how long the rally stays open for joiners) and the march time from the leader's city to the target. Total time-to-impact is their sum, and joiners must be inside before the timer closes — as a rule of thumb this planner treats the final 30 seconds as the do-not-join window, since a march that lands after the rally launches is a march wasted. Enter your timer, march time, joiner count and troops per joiner; the planner returns total rally weight and the timeline your alliance actually has to hit.

Coordination notes

  • March time is the variable you control least — compute it per member with the Map Planner and have far members join first.
  • Troop weight per joiner is capped by the leader's deployment capacity; hero levels raise it (the capacity column in the Hero XP Calculator shows the curve).
  • For multi-rally operations with named assignments, graduate to the Alliance War Planner.

How the rally planner calculator works

Works out when each joiner has to hit a rally so their troops are actually in it, and what the rally is carrying when it launches.

Troops in the rally
joiners * troopsPer — Joiners multiplied by the average march you give it.
Time until it lands
rallyTimer + marchTime — The rally timer plus the march, which is what decides whether you beat a shield or a reinforcement.
Latest safe join
minJoinTime = rallyTimer - 30 — Thirty seconds before the timer ends. The code comment says it plainly: must join before last 30s.

The thirty-second buffer is the only judgement in this calculator; everything else is your own numbers. It exists because a join landing in the final seconds can miss the launch.
