  A limitation of alliance size can be a good. For exampe the number of
alliance members can not exceed the half of all civilisations. Then the
ratio
1:8 can not occur. The  maximum would be 5 against 4, which is more
treatable. A similar system works in hodito.hu online game, there the max
size can be only 4 (there are mostly 400+ players in 1 continous game).

But an explicit alliance have to offer more advantages (knowledge exchang=
e,
allied units can step on the same square) than secret pacts (communicatio=
n,
attac coordination).
