But to include many of the above proposals would require a substantial amount of work on the part of the devs. Combined attacks in particular could be a pain. Sharing map info and moving through "friendly" provinces could also be a pain, depending on how they are implemented.

Sharing map info is easier done by screen capture and email than it is by adding it to the game.

Multiple attacks arent all that far off except that you have to attack taking turns. Thats not so unusual since I have trouble picturing many of these nations being willing to share a battle field or spoils of combat.

There are already a number of ways to move thru an allies territory. The easiest are some of the prime abilitys of certain nations (sneaking armies of Man, Ulm black-forest, Vanheim, Pangaea) which provides them with bonuses in an alliance.

There are other methods such as mass-transport spells. In some games we maintained a corridor which we did not pay for defense on since both of us would "take" the provinces back and forth as we moved thru them.

But for alot of traffic and high defense consider using a castle at a major crossroad. My army enters the province "taking" it but simply pushing your army inside the castle. I move on and you take retake the province. Its like a nice drawbridge effect.
