It would be nice to be able to create and manage alliances when building maps.
Or, alternatively, create a really neutral faction which nobody is hostile to (the gray faction's units are attacked by the players).

It would for instance allow having a neutral faction which might side up with either player depending on some triggered condition (action, time).
The difference between this and just having a group of units change faction with a trigger like it's possible now, is that there isn't any real neutral faction right now: Players automatically attack the gray faction.

- you can set alliances already.
- side up: you can do it by triggering, making the "neutrals" to be one player's color.

All right, but what about the issue of active players (blue/green) automatically attacking units of the gray player?
