Doubts about Alliance Quests

Been playing the game for some months and doing AQ, map 2 and 3. The points and tier promotions/demotions system is clear, but I still have some doubts. If anyone care to explain, I'd really appreciate:

1. Prestige rises and falls depending if alliance finishes AQ BGs, right? Will it rise even more if it completes a BG with 100% exploration?

2. AQ prestige also depends on each player prestige? I mean, if a 5k prestige player joins a 3k average Alliance, AQ prestige rises?

3. Higher prestige means stronger enemies but also more points per enemy, and vice versa. Correct?

4. When a new AQ series starts, prestige is carried from last series?

5. Why do alliances do harder maps at the beggining of a series and easier at the end? Read somewhere maps are harder on the last days. Is this correct?

6. Does the Alliance (not the players) get any rewards (gold, battlechips and loyalty) for completing AQ or the only way to get those is through donations?

Hope I made myself clear. Thanks in advance

1. When you 100% a battlegroup the prestige increases by X (so for all 3 BGs thats X+X+X increase to the alliance basic prestige
2. AQ prestige or alliance prestige is gotten from the average of each members prestige so if someone with a 5k prestige joins the alliance it would add to the overall alliance prestige for AQ
3. Higher prestige means more diffucult enemies and difficult enemies award more points
4. Prestige is not carried over to the next AQ. Once AQ restarts, it reverts back to the basic alliance prestige for example if at day 1 prestige is 4k and at day 5 it goes up to 7k when aq ends and returns it starts back at 4k. This can be increased if your members increase their individual prestige
5. I think harder maps are done at the beginning of the series because they'd be easier to do at day 1 than at day 5. Last day of AQ series can get real hard if your prestige at that point is high. Depending on strategy you can play map 2 at the end of series to stock up on potions or revives it just depends on the alliance
6. The alliance doesnt get anything. The members do

I hope my answers are correct if i'm wrong someone please correct it

I won't be redundant, but try to elaborate on @Jh_Dez post.

A player's prestige is calculated by a player's top 5 champs' PI WITHOUT masteries. An alliance's prestige is every player's prestige averaged together.

In regards to #5, Prestige through an AQ series is not linear. A higher completed map gives an alliance more points/higher prestige. A higher prestige, gives more points. Depending where an alliance wants to rank in AQ, a map 6 at the end of the week will give more points than a map 6 on day 1. However, an alliance may only need the point boost from a day 1 or 2 map 6. If that's all they need, why make it harder on themselves. This argument can also be made for doing lower maps on later days. If a certain map can be completed day 1-3 but not 4-5, maybe continue doing that map for 3 days, but then do a lower map the next few days until the alliance has improved.
