The alliances!
Yes baby, in vanilla they was almost useless,
but in reality they were hardcore deadly and bound to be broken.

Just thought Paradox doesnt screw this one up that they did in vanilla.
In Roa (made by Wiz) they actually worked way better (not perfect) but better.

I hope the historical player doesnt steamroll through europe or mediterranian bread-basket.

*Defensive leagues in particular sound like they’ll be imperative for city states and tribes dealing with foreign aggression, allowing them to band together in a massive alliance. It’s an ability exclusive to them, giving them the opportunity to stand up to powerful adversaries, even if that means siding with other foes.

“If you attack someone in a defensive league, you automatically go to war with everyone,” Andersson explains. “The idea is that you’re allowed to fight internally as much as you want, but when someone from the outside comes in, you close ranks and fight together.*

Defensive league =/= an alliance though.
