Is there a point at all to allinaces? They don't seem to accomplish anything. I am playing as Takeda(i think thats the name at least, i'm at school so i can't check), and i had alliances with both clans surrounding the group of provinces on the easter part of the map. I never did anything agressive to them, and kept those provinces only lightly defended, figuring they would honor the alliances. So i'm expanding on the western side, killing off Mori or whatever the red one's name is, when all of the sudden my eastern provinces start getting attacked by my allies!!! I was able to keep one by retreating everyone there to one province and supplying reinforcements via a port from my main unit producer in the west, but I lost my most advanced province at that time. My question is, is there any point to alliances? The enemy seems to attack me just about as often when neutral as when allied, if not less. I've had a lightly defended border with green for about 10 years in game time without attack and they are only neutral. Of course, i've recently started beefing up my border troops since green is the only clan near me now, since i've killed off 3 other clans and the only provinces around mine are green or ronin.
