Warning: if there must be a Civ2 style, we MUST get inhibited by Civ2
rules. I admit that I do not like following all the Civ2 rules. But
Civ2 style should be the exact copy of the original.
However, I vote for a complete ressources/territory sharing between
allies, because it makes it more different from the simple Peace state
(in Freeciv style).

I disagree. Peace is not the normal sequel to Alliance. There can be
several situations, and you or the AI should decide whether you change
directly to war, or only to simple peace state.
Once again, Civ2 style makes it necessary to accept the original rules.
