Axis, Allies and Komitern. So only 3 alliances again? If so, that's a big disappointment...please tell it's possible to form 'minor' alliances, and these are only the 'major' alliances!!!

yes its possible...

But those 3 are special main alliances. (And its very convenient to have them as "sort-buttons")


more than three... :)

Cool!! How much of a role can they play? Major or minor, or does it depend on the members (I guess a alliance of Lux, Vatican City, and Lichenstein wouldn't have much clot)? Any special events going to be in there?

Neutral defensive alliances would be great, especially one between Denmark and Norway. That way German player has to attack also Norway if it's going to conquer Denmark, just the way it should be (I almost never attack Norway).

Some of those official quotes come from people asking questions and someone deciding they can be answered. If he doesn't ask, Johan will keep mum and you get no more official quotes. :)

I think that alliances need modification, they shouldnt be binding, rather it should just increase the possibility of a reaction. For example, Japan and Germany are allied, USSR declares war on Japan. That shouldnt automatically cause a German declaration of war, rather, it should just increase the proberbility, or bring up an event.

The diplomacy section of the game as a whole could take a lot from EU2 and/or Victoria, although the newest screenshot seems to suggest that Paradox realizes this and is going in such a direction.

But yes, minor alliances would be good, and more flexibility within major alliances (alliances with 'invalid against' clauses, ability to renege on an alliance following declaration of war, ect...all of this stuff is from Victoria). Anything that bolsters diplomacy is good!

My Opinion...

My personal opinion is to allow you to make unhistorical alliances. If they add any historical alliances, they have to include the Triple Entente. The minor, historical alliances should be included if any at all. I like the idea of creating alliances, it can really help if you are neutral. I felt very bound by that in original HOI. It doesn't even have to be a real alliance. It can just be an agreement. Also, I would like to see less dependency on idealistic tendancies. Countries can come together to accomplish a common goal if needed.
