OK,
I got this cool idea. People can make alliances in game if they announce it right? But then, what if your allianced buddy starts getting into a world of hurt? The only was to save him/her would be to attack into that territory, hence maybe wiping out some of his/her armies, and leaving you fighting for some more defenses. This idea came to me in a game I was first playing, I teamed up with a guy, then we broke the alliance, and i noticed the other guy getting blasted.
What if, we had an option to select an alliance? More or less, have a drag down menu type of thing (something like what we choose countries to attack sort of thing) that we copuld click a player's name and send an alliance request?
They could then approve/disaprove and you could fortify them too! Also having the option to have a button to click saying "End alliance with <name>"
I thought it would be good, games would be much more fun, but there would have to be certain rules and times you'd be allowed to do this, especially if everyone in a 6 person game teamed up against one and so on.
Hope you give it some thought Lack!!!
. But, back to what High Borne was saying, that was just an example highborn, doesn't mean thats the only time youd be able to, or would, use it 
. But I hop you guys/gals get the idea, I like it (obviously because it my idea haha) and think it would come in handy, considering this isn't the exact same thing as Risk, some modifications could improve it, or make it worse. Just my opinion though
