Alliance Mechanic

There is already Alliance stance available but does not seem to do much outside of automatic war declaration and shared vision.

Recommend:

1. Alliance view on Galaxy map, where each Alliance gets a different colour and the name of the alliance written on top of their total territory when zoomed out

2. Diplomatic relationship view on galaxy map where other empires are colored after the relationship towards the player

3. Allies able to suppor each other in battle when they are in the same system and send supporting troops to the allied attacker/defender. This would give a huge benefit for allies  as they would not be bound to their own command point limitations

4. Diplomatic request where one member can ask another, or all other alliance members to attack a system.  The request cost of course a bunch of influence and even more if asked from more then one ally. The other races receive a cooperative quest in this case, which they need to accomplish within a given timeframe to get rewards. If they do not accomplish the goal, the requestor gets 30% of their influence cost back
