What makes a good interspecies alliance functional?
>>46773951
necessity
Not competing over the same resources.
>>46773951
Godly sex
>>46774020
>>46774043
>>46774060
These are all way better and more concise answers than I could have ever spat out on my own.
>>46773951
Bioware writers.
A political marriage between the ruling monarchies.
>>46773951
Eradicating races they deem inferior.
>>46773951
By giving them a clear goal, and the willpower to carry it out. Then have the suffering bind them together like nothing else can.
>>46773951
Beastiality
>>46773951
An enemy you hate more than your allies.
>>46773951
A worthy opponent
Glorious hatefuck.
I think the REAL question isIf you were in-charge of the racial makeup of your civilization and had to choose just 4, what would those races be?
>>46773951
religious indoctrination
>>46773951
Filling each others holes
;)
But for real, I'm a huge fan of Elven/Orc alliance with Elves being brains and tactics and Orcs being muscle and willpower
>>46774718
seems like a bit of a one-sided relationship.

But can you tell with 6 int?
>>46773951
Sauron.

Absolute necessity, otherwise it isn't worth plagueing the pure human armies with inferior races such as dwarves and elves.
After it isn't necessary, kill your former non-human allies off when they are the weakest and claim their lands in the name of the Human Kingdoms.
>>46773951
Mutual benefit, whatever that may be.
Its the same for any alliance even within the same species.
What a dumb question.
>>46773951
Covering the weaknesses of one another.
Military-wise, elven skirmishers, human/elven light infantry, dwarf heavy infantry and human cavalry would have a good start over uniracial armies.
>>46773951
> mutual benefits outweigh the drawbacks
> both compete for different and unrelated goals
Because they don't hate each other nearly as much as they hate members of their own species doing things wrong. Think shia and sunni Muslims.
