Strong factions attack others. Weak factions get attacked by others. That's the mentality behind diplomacy in EB.
Very unlike modern diplomacy, where the attacker is vilified - in EB, the attacker is lauded and praised for being strong and brave enough to attack someone, and the victim is despised for their weakness. No-one wants to be allied with a weakling.
So if you want to keep your allies, then make sure you are the faction doing the attacking. That will impress your allies and keep them loyal to you.
