A twist on an old idea

Yes... What fun is it to muck around doing little pathetic things, in the service of making a likely victor even stronger? Much more fun to join forces to bring that likely victor down!

Well, as the idea stood the intention wasn't that there would be anything stopping you from allying yourself with a player of equivalent power, just explicitly making all players but one in an alliance as lesser partners. And in the case of allied victory making the head of the pantheon the primary winner, with his supporting cast just getting some sort of runner up mention. Ideally there would also be some problems dissolving an alliance once agreed upon. Also the options to pool resources that allready exist would still have been present, nothing stopping you from coordinating attacks etc.
