And you refuse to read and understand that your ideas have already been tried and found lacking.  Why reinvent the wheel when it was a shite wheel to begin with?

Crusty is proposing a 1 nation, 1 ally. Not blocks.

So with 10 nations, there would have to be 5 blocks.

But, in truth, like today, and this is my particular opinion, nothing would stop blocks from making "outside of the table" alliances.

Only drawback, the clans that play by the game rules. Enemy player in screen is enemy player.

Of course you did not answer my question to how your game will be ruined

 but "people" want to kill this and that. 

Here is what every national chat would look like:

"Guys, whom should I vote for?" - avg. Casual

"WTS Votes" - avg. merchant/alt

"Vote nation C" - Nation C alt

"Vote nation B" - other Nation alt trying to seed chaos

"Why I should vote nation E they sunk my Pickle few weeks ago? NO freaking way" - Ol' Salty mate!

And so on.

Enjoy!

Sweden and France Ally, and have an unofficial deal with the Pirates and Danes who are officially allied, how useful is the alliance now? Megablock alliances are back and or can't be removed.

I always laugh when I see Pirates in the diplomacy pot

But you are right Rab, it is like a game of Risk. There's always the guy that will be ganked by the others.

But let's leave the NN out of this.

Stick with the suggestion.
