ALLIANCES, what are the benefits.

[tbontob]

The SE4 Gold manual is not very clear on the effects of the treaties. Here is what I understand them to be:

1) TRADE ALLIANCE: Receives 20% (eventually) of the trade partner's production of minerals, organics and radioactives.

2) TRADE AND RESEARCH ALLIANCE: Benefits of the trade alliance plus 20% (eventually) of the trade partner's research points.

3) MILITARY ALLIANCE: Benefits of the trade and research alliance plus the right to resupply at your partner's (and his allies) resupply depots

4) PARTNERSHIP: The manual is very unclear here...so I will be making some major assumptions.
a) Benefits of the military alliance.
b) Recieve 20% (eventually) of the trading partners production of intelligence points.
c) Share military information that your partner sees. ==> what does this mean?
d) Recieve copies of enemy designs
e) Can observe the systems which your partner sees.

Any clarification would be appreciated.
