The no.1 best thing you can have in a MP is a loyal ally who will stick with you to the very end in the late game. So far I have found 95/100 dominions players to be power mad, stick the knife in soon as look at you. A trustworthy ally is as rare as gold dust.

Btw I have offered a pact to lots of different players, of complete alliance until the end of the game where just the 2 of us have been left. I have never had it accepted, not once in nearly 20 MP games. Why I have no idea, surely finishing in the final 2 with 50% chance of winning is a good deal?
Thats always been one of my problems in MP. I tend to hold an agreement until the end. Or at least until its been openly declared void. I have a hard time playing as paranoid as I should.

I wish things were different. I believe that some nation combinations could balance each others strength and weaknesses to be more powerful than any nation on its own. Some of my favorite nations strike me as being weak in most MP games but powerful as allies.

Its also why I sometimes check connections to my server to pick up on anyone playing the games as 2 nations without telling their opponents.
