Could someone just confirm whether, under normal circumstances (i.e. not due to special event), 4 is the maximum number of allies a human player can have in his/her alliance? Is this the same for AI players? Thanks!

Yes, four is the maximum for a human player while AI only alliances can have an unlimited amount of members. Note that, in FTG, the value can be changed in defines.txt.
Thanks, I'm happy to stick with four, if that's the default, to keep things balanced.
That's weird. Now, don't quote me on that but I seem to remember that the limitation only applies if the human player is the alliance leader so I guess you weren't.
third angel is correct...........the current default setting is 5 as per defines file
_COUNTRY_ALLIANCE_MAX_ = 5 #Positive
this number only applies for human players as the AI can have more or less members, so 5 is a human plus 4 AI
The only time a human can have more is if its done via an event
you can make it a harder game by lowering this number
_COUNTRY_ALLIANCE_MAX_ = 5 #Positive

So if I done that :
_COUNTRY_ALLIANCE_MAX_ = 1 #Positive
I couldn't be in any alliance ?
_COUNTRY_ALLIANCE_MAX_ = 1 #Positive
I couldn't be in any alliance ?
An alliance can have more members if the extra members are brought in by event. There is no "real" limit on a number of allies, its just that the AI is coded to reject alliance offers that create alliances bigger than that which is set in the defines file.
Or by peterthethird
Not even that. Alliance with more than five members is like RM with the Papal States before this patch: impossible. Even peterthethird crashes on the wall without bringing more alliance members, they refuse anyway.
Well, out of peace offers peterthethird works not-so-greatly...diploannexations do not work, for example.
Sorry but in Vanilla peterthethird works wonders. Have had at least as many as 7 allies and have yet to fail at Diplo, may be all my attemps at allies were with vassels.
And before you judge, I am not playing for my ego, just play the game I am to kill time.
Thought are you sure all the requirements for Diplo are meet. Myself have problems Diploing Sweden but I think that is WAD.
The limit in defines.txt only apply to any human alliance leader when trying to invite new members to an alliance. If the total amount of alliance members is equal to or greater than the value in defines, then the proposal to add another member will be rejected.
Any other way of building an alliance (event, AI as leader, cheating) uses an "infinite" number of members (every nation could be in the same alliance, so it's limited by the number of provinces on the map, in practice).

Darn. And I was wondering, why Moldovia, being my vassal and at +200 relations so stubbornly declines my invitations to join alliance.
And if I join the alliance of other nations, then I can be in a group of more than 5 nations, right?

Yes, if the alliance leader is an AI country, the number of participants is unlimited, as Mats_SX said.
This always reminds me of the time I played as Scotland and everyone was happy to put the 30 year war behind them and unite. (except Venice, those assholes)
