I play VH campaign. Few, if any, factions in close proximity to my starting homelands are willing to make alliances. Thus, it is often those factions halfway across the map that I am allied with. I don't notice any visible effects of these alliances, but that can't be helped.

As to your last question from your first post: offer a decent sum of money when using FD if you're demanding something.
