Alliances or rather the lack of alliances

I cant seem to make alliances with other races even though we both have the technology. I just dont get the option of asking them and they never ask me. What am I doing wrong?

Your relations with them have to be "Close".

Yep, they need to be close or more to get an Alliance, even though i find them useless, since they tend to declare war on someone once every several turns. :/

u only have to honor an alliance if someone declares war on ur aly and if some civ does that then u can choose wheather to honor the alliance or not, i usually do because it keeps the alliance and im usually so good with military that i can take a couple of planets while my ally is fighting the main war

plus with 8 or 9 different species of aliens why wont there be any war?

I have yet to see two ai races ally. Anyone else seen this in a metaverse game?

I have, but it was at the very end of the game, and I was winning culturally not by conquest so it meant absolutely nothing

In my game right now I am playing as a custom race and the Drengin got this event that makes them go on a universe conquering spree. There is a three way Alliance between the Drath/Altarian/Torians with the Arcean and me remaining neutral.

I have yet to see a single game where all the AI joined together to fight the player, its only happend if its been scripted.
