it seems that if you ally with a faction that is at war with one of your current allies, it causes an instant cease-fire between them (by instant i mean during your turn)

example: greece is my ally

greece is at war with macedonia

i send a diplomat to macedonia and request alliance they say yea

message box pops up saying cease-fire in effect between the two

i ask, bug or feature?

Bug!

You shouldn't be able to decide when other countries start or stop war.

You should only be able to decide whose side you're on.

bug. if you are ally with greece, macedonia shouldn't ally with you unless you de-ally greece, or attack them.

Feature.

As far as I can make out you will only accept an alliance (even if you profered it) if they agree to cease hostilities with all your allies.
