i know alot of players have complained about the alliance system. What If there were different types of alliances availible at different levels. How bout a non agression pact availible anytime that would keep a forced peace for 20 turns or a allied defence agreement that would be availible at warm or higher and have the same effects as the current alliance. And finally the alliance which would be availible at close and would be the same as it is now but also create a forced peace for 100 turns. At the end of the allotted time for each treaty there would be a renewal agreement possible.
