Hi there,

I was playing a fascinating game this weekend (even though I got stomped) and I realized what the game desperately needs. Like Declarations of War and Peace Treaties we NEED notifications whenever an alliance takes place or is broken. You definitely have egg on your face when you declare war on one race and suddenly find yourself at war with the rest of the universe.

I know what you are thinking - 'Just check the Treaties Screen when you are about to declare war you lazy sop!' Well yes, there is that ... HOWEVER, if you have an alliance with another race you would need to check that screen EVERY SINGLE TURN! Why? Because if some race attacks your ally, then you are asked to honor your alliance. But it is a modal pop up (i.e. you can't check the Treaty screen to decide what you should do). I decided to honor the alliance but little did I know that the entire forces of good (4 fricken RACES) all allied 3 turns earlier. As they were all more powerful than me ... bang ... end of game.


So, please, PLEASE make Alliance Notifications.
