Question.
Do we need more game mechanic or limitation? We do not want everyone allies or peace with each other. I do not think we like to have TMP(Too Much Peace doh! ) back either.
Perhaps instead of developers rolling out a statement saying "you must do this and do that" every time, why not we put forward this limitation in game?
You can only have 2-3 allies Diplomacy, depending on how many realms on that one island.
I am unsure if limitations will help much. In Atamara,it only took 3 allies to halt everything, really and truthfully just 2.
