Uhh. I don't really think a lot of people were clamoring for this and I'm not sure what it fixes, but oh well. I guess we don't have to worry about leeching and we don't need to line up tech allies if we want to tech, so that's something. I would've just removed the tech alliances if that's what this is aimed at, assuming they're not being re-coded to prevent leeching. Not the end of the world though I guess. We were discussing this a bit in an Express thread just a few days ago about how having no d-allies makes attacking way more "simple" in a not necessarily good way.
