AC (Ancient Clans) have asked for some kind of alliance with us.
.
PROS:
They seem a fairly sound bunch of people.
They helped us out once with finding someone.
It would give us trusted people to trade with.
CONS:
Some people say there is nothing to be gained by limiting potential future targets and that NAP/Alliances are better on a 1-to-1 basis.
They are much weaker than us [except for the 2 founding members] and it’s not apparent what benefit an alliance would be to us.
They are allied with a few other people which might complicate things in future.
