on the other hand, i'm told certain players consistently join games and never fight with one another. since you seem like an experienced player(im not) and don't seem to think that this is a major problem, i take that as an encouraging sign.
happy gaming.

Well, I don't think experienced is a good word for it. Say, someone whose wasting his college education studying diplomacy, so he has a few insights relative to his skill level to make.
I don't think such alliances exist, or at least I haven't heard of them. There are team games (but that's part of the objective), but ultimately only one person can win the game in the end, so no alliance can really last (unless they agree upon a joint win, but that's unlikely), or have benefits to being made before the game itself.
Take me and matty for instance. Our first game together, I'm busy throwing everything and the kitchen sink at him to defend my land tooth and nail, my next game its the opposite and have nearly reduced him to his capital, and now my newest game we're off to a less conflict-ridden start. Now, I didn't plan on any of these scenarios pre-game (besides an analysis of my rival nations before the game), but that's the cards and chain of events the game dealt me. Conditions change every game, so its impossible to plan diplomacy pregame (besides things like
maybe anti-Ermor coalitions, but those tend to be tenuous at best). Or at least, I'd imagine.
