Allied Defence Page

Planetarion has had the same mechanics more or less for the past decade, and as there's another space war game competing, it would be a good idea to mix things up a bit. (Change this repetitive game style of Planetarion, only a little!)

Politics is quite a fluid game, it's mainly about blocking up (and NAPing). To add an interesting side to the factor, why not allow allied alliances (in-game) to view each others defence page. Obviously there would need to be some thinking involved whether they can view the defence fleets of the other, but I think this would mix things up a bit and politics won't just be about overwhelming the enemy with blocks.

We don't get many ideas anymore, so please, if you don't agree with this particular idea, refrain from flaming.

Re: Allied Defence Page

I don't really see any positive effects from this, imho, getting def from an ally should be an active process, not a by default option. There should be some risk to defending other allies. Implementing this endangers to tip the balance of the game into defending too much, and could lead to early onset stagnation, especially in rounds that don't have overly offensive stats.

Re: Allied Defence Page

Im usually totally in favour of improving defence, as I defend much more than attack.
However, I worry this might endanger the very political fluidity you wish to support. If cross alliance defence is normalised by being on the ally def page then yes it encourages blocks, but it also encourages a permanence of those blocks as everyone would want the maximum def pool available and worry about being left out in the cold should they become estranged from their partners of the moment.
I wonder if it might be better if instead of merging allies def pages, an alliance could issue an alert on a particular call which puts that on their allies defence pages. Might be useful in big fleet catches, or large CR/BS SK attacks without making cross alliance defence an everyday thing.

Re: Allied Defence Page

i think it would be a good idea as long as the alliance that isn't receiving the inc doesn't get salvage from defending
