Limiting the amount of friendlies can increase the odds of super alliances falling apart at some point. Sure truces can be made while white, but how long is it going to last? Yes I know, it can last forever. Nothing can be done to completly stop them, but mechanics can make these harder to hold firm.

In no means do I think this is a sim city game, I just see the destruction of 8 to10 versus 1to3 seen on several servers kind of a joke.

War games are fun, but gang bangs are not. But I guess that is my opinion. You might like the challenge in combat when your on the ten side while facing one.
