I dunno about the alliance in KoH. As you can see, there are non-agression, passage agreement, trade options already, and the relationship bar.
This looks awesome so far.

The release date of KoH is 2004 Q2 btw.

Nice layout but not that new :
Europa Universalis has already all these options and more (alliance, annexations, vassalisation, trade embargo, etc.).

Oh yeah, that game is decent in diplomacy.
I think this KoH system would be perfect for Doms II. that is why I posted this screenie about the KoH diplo system.

Civilization 3 had the exact same system and I have to say it didn't work too well. I can just guess how non-functional it would be in a game like dominions where the only victory condition is world domination.

You are very wrong. The civ3 diplo system is decent, the diplo AI is crap.
It is a huge difference.

IMHO the civ3 diplomatic system is really good, I like it. It is not 'that easy' to abuse the AI, especially not after the latest patches.
In fact, sometimes my butt is kicked by the AI, if some of them gang up against me.
