I'd like to see more options for treaties. Instead of having set treaties
-non agression through Partnership.

How about having each aspect of treaties as options. For instance
Non-Intercourse- Pick one option
Non-Aggression- Pick 2 options
Level 1 Treaty- Pick 3 options
Level 2 Treaty- Pick 4 options
Level 3 Treaty- Pick 5 options
Level 4 Treaty- All Options included.

Options to choose from include:
-no combat
-resource trade
-Research Trade
-Share Resupply
-Share system maps
-Intel Trade
-Share Tech one-way
-Share Tech both-ways
-Share Combat logs
-Share Enemey Designs
etc.

In this system, you could have a treaty that would allow for only shared Resupply centers but without the rest of a Military Alliance. Opens more options, I think. Further, for trade, research, and Intel options, you could set the maximum amounts for each depending on your treaty relationship.

And also, to replace things like Subjugations and Protectorates, negative options could be availiable as well.
-Tarif Research
-Tarif Resources
-Tarif Tech
-Tarif Intel
etc.

For each Tarif option, either empire could be given one extra regular option to choose from.
