Although nations can offer peace or goto war with each other it would be nice if proper alliances could be formed. At the moment Alliances are formed through chatting via private mails but allies cannot see each other's units or enter each others territory. Also exchanging technogogies would be good.

Not sure how difficult this would be to change or if enough people think this is a good idea?

It was already asked for (allies moving thru the same territory) and Vic said he�ll think about, but i�m sure this is very hard to implement
and he would have to dive deep into the AT engine for doing that.
I hope he�ll find a way to code this, but i�m pessimistic here overall that it�s possible.

Yes I imagine it would be hard to code having another nations units in your territory, having to think about supply, transferring units, etc. Just another thing for Vic to toss and turn in his bed at night thinking about how to improve his beautiful baby that AT is

I hope to implement this sort of alliances in future AT versions, but not in any upcomming patches.

I appreciate that this would be a large undertaking. The game is great anyway! Any hints on what you are working on next Vic

yes it would. it changes a lot of things if different regimes can occupy the same hex. However it will also allow for great variations in gameplay.

And about projects.. I'll start working on "Advanced Tactics 1.5" (working title) in march. But i am juggling time with another still "top secret" project too.

kind regards,
Vic

Good luck in your efforts. If it is anything like AT or PT then it will get my vote
