Nearly all alliances are for strategic reasons in real life, why should 
they not be in BM?  Why does any bit of strategic always attacked as 
power gaming.  It's what happens in real life.  Yeah, I don't want to be 
attacked from behind while I'm attacking another kingdom so I form an 
alliance.  Who cares if there is no RP behind it except us both thinking 
the same thing.  That's life.  Look at the French and the US, they can 
barely stand each other but yet they are strong allies.  If that was BM 
everyone would be screaming power gaming.
