Do a roll call. Post a thread and give everyone 3 days to check in, that way you know who is active and who isn't. Wait a week and do it again. Whoever misses both roll calls you should boot from the guild.
Then, when giving directives to your guild choose your words carefully. State everything as matter of fact not as a suggestion or like your asking a favor. Doesn't have to be rude, just don't let them confuse your words with weakness. Always be willing to put your cities on the front lines of everything and lead by example. Members have to know your not full of B.S. When members show loyalty and obedience to directives, promote them as you see fit.
Make sure not to micromanage. Assign tasks and endeavors to members thus giving them a way to show loyalty and gain your trust. Delegate responsibilities to your generals so that they can demonstrate that the badge next to their name carries some authority. Discuss strategy with them via 1:1 emails and then let them propose it to the guild in the forum with you supporting it.
