streu in Re: Welcome to FLAK!:

One pitfall I stumbled across when setting up the test case: both allies need to accept the alliance ("allies add") for the alliance levels to have any effect. Them just offering +v +c +s to you does nothing until you offer an alliance (no matter what levels). OK, in a regular game this probably is less relevant than when setting up a minimal test case.

Apparently the alliance has to be confirmed by +v +c +s from both sides. I usually a c my alliances with ~ which did not work out in this case.

Sorry, I cannot reproduce such a restriction.

I have used

• player 1 commands "a a 3" and "a c 3 +s +c +v"
• player 3 commands "a a 1"

Thus, player 3 sees player 1's fights. Same thing with

• player 1 commands "a a 3" and "a c 3 ~s ~c ~v"
• player 3 commands "a a 1" and "a c 1 ~s ~c ~v"

Or did you only use ~s, without your ally offering ~s back? Then, that would be precisely the "conditional" logic: if they do not offer back, it is not effective.
