It would be better if you could adress an ally near by to assist you then theese alliance-battles would be more common.
Yes, I have been asked to assist my ally, though I have yet to see my ally come to my assistance ( however this did happen a few times in MTW )
I would love to see this feature applied to the game in a more sophisticated way. It is something I have been asking for since STW.
For example, you receive a message scroll that reads........
"A messenger has arrived from your allies. Their land has been invaded and they urgently request that you send forces to help. Will you assist your allies?".......................YES/NO
This message would not be governed by 'zones'. Likewise, you could select your ally and get an option window that allows you to ask for assistance. This would greatly enhance the historical feel of the battles IMO
