Now that we have easy modding support, I humbly request that some brave, generous Modder add Fixed Alliances to this otherwise glorious game.

To be clear: By "Fixed Alliances" I mean that, in game creation, we should be able to set teams for all factions. This is a fairly common feature in 4X games (Civ, Conquest of Elysium, Sins of a Solar Empire, etc).

I realize that implementing Allied Victories is likely to be _much_ more difficult than this. But making permanent Alliances on game start would be a huge step in the right direction.
