Civ II SP, AI, Deity, Rageing Hoardes , Seven Civs
1. Generally what are the Pros & Cons of having alliances.
We get the feeling from what we have read here over the past few weeks that most
people prefer to rid a sizable amount of land if not the entire continent of any other
civs and try to keep the civs that are still alive from intruding past frontier outposts.
We also have read that the weaker your Civ is the more alliances you are allowed
to have. It looks like if alliances have much advantage to them and more is better,
you should be making them as you soon as you meet the other Civs before your
power increases and precludes you from having as many alliances...
or is this another of those style of play type deals ?
2. Put simply , What good does an alliance do for our Civ ?
Alliances seem to us always to be more of an excuse for the AI to loiter around
all over our city squares and basically make an annoyance of themselves that
we just have to put up with it.
