Wow, thanks for the great and thorough reply! That really helps a lot. One question... how does one actually start up an alliance? I have the alliance tech and good relations with a couple kingdoms. I already have a non aggression pacts and treaties with those kingdoms. The option to strike up an alliance is nowhere to be seen in the treaty window. Do they have to also have the tech or something? Is it a bug? Or am I just dense? Thanks again!

I've just beat the game on Expert and I'm having a lot of fun! I wanted to try a diplomatic victory next. I get the feeling it's a red-headed stepchild, since nobody seems to talk about it much that I can find. Can anyone point me in the direction of some threads or resources to help me get started? Thank you very much!!
