Devs: We're adding an alliance limit

Mega Alliance-oriented players: Meh, we can still have mouth alliances

Devs: Oh right, let's make that easier for you, by adding the neutral system. You can now fight together without crossfire.

It won't.  Large alliances will set up a network of smaller alliances and "unofficial" alliances to get around the limit.  

 

Okay?

And how do they tell their AI to not attack these "unofficial allies"? And good luck using spyglass every other 30s in the middle of intense naval battles to tell the difference. There'll be a lot of crossfire. 

Thanks for finally limiting alliances and company sizes! This should really help smaller groups
