In Game Alliances

It would really be nice to know which countries are allied with each other while playing the game. That way you can plan your tactics to defend against the back door. Not saying that i dont already defend my back door. But Preparing for a battle against an opponent, you scout and spend resources on spying and build your army to suit, and then as soon as you invade, youre hitting the player good, boom here comes his ally that you thought was not going to be on his side. During the wars we knew who are allies were and our enemies. That would be common knowledge in the newspaper.
