Alliances Expanded

Alliances Expanded bring you four new alliance types and generally overhauled alliance levelling. Invest actively in your alliance progression to become everone's darling and reap great benefits.

Diplomacy Compatibility Patch probably needed to avoid issues with certain UI mods (see below for more info).

• Four new alliance types: Industrial, Maritime, Urban, Espionage (see image for detailed list of rewards).
  
• New ways to gain alliance points to make levelling alliances more interactive and also upgrade them sligtly faster on average.
  
• Flavor names for all alliances.
  
• City Parks can now be unlocked for your whole empire through alliances. Their yields have been slightly adjusted.
  
• New promotion for the governor Liang, the Surveyor as compensation.
  
• Added a lot more AI leader preferences for various types of alliances matching their unique bonuses.

Requires Gathering Storm.

This mod overhauls how points for levelling up alliances are earned. There are no more fractions of points. The requirements are now 480 points for level 2 and 1440 points for level 3, which is a 50% increase. However, there are also a lot more ways to earn points now.

In general, an alliance levels up with the points from both civilizations in it. This means that if both partners have the Wisselbanken policy slotted for example, the alliance will receive the bonus twice.

All alliances gain 1 point per turn by default. Beyond that, points can be earned the following ways:

• +1 point per Government Tier
  
• +1 point if you are in a Normal Age, +2 in a Golden Age
  
• +1 point if you are at peace with all civilizations
  
• +2 points if you have a trade route to your ally
  
• +1 point if you are at war with a common enemy
  
• +1 point from Wisselbanken policy
  
• +1 point from Democracy government
  
• +1 point from Foreign Ministry (Level 2 Government Plaza building)
  
• +2 points from Statue of Liberty
  
• CLEOPATRA ONLY: extra +1 point if you have a trade to your ally, an extra +1 point if you have a trade route from your ally
  
• GILGAMESH ONLY: extra +2 points if you are at war with a common enemy

This mod can sometimes conflict with mods changing the deal screen (where you make trades with other leaders), such as Quick Deals for example. Use this compatibility patch to prevent issues where the new alliance types cannot be selected.
