Because one of my allies would be Zammora (in the region) and one of Alex' allies would be Nerotysia (also in the region.) It would be totally ridiculous to imagine those 2 nations not getting involved.

I have no sympathy for anyone that has a problem with that. Don't flaunt Gothic involvement if you can't handle their involvement being taken seriously.

I realize there are no set-in-stone rules involved besides common sense and good roleplay, but I assume there must be some guidelines involved.
All I've pieced together so far is that armies should (depending on who is talking) be from .1% to 5% of one's population, and you can "purchase" Modern Technology military equipment from Lyran Arms and Royal Beaufort based on your defense budget on NS Economy
The two most important things I don't understand are:How the outcomes of a conflict are determined when the only hard numbers available are quite abstact and
How I should best "spend" my defense budget if I'm interested solely in defense
If anyone could give me a quick rundown on some of this, I would be really grateful.

This. There's absolutely no way I'm going to agree to an ally-cap. Diol is just pitching a fit because his bullying tactics have met with serious, organised resistance this time around.

There is no way that the two of you are going to be able to organize an RP of any quality at this scale. Your are both vying for hegemony over a relatively small region; there is no reason to involve the number of players that you are.

I would happily tone down my numbers if Alex wouldn't involve whole regions (x2), plus one massive alliance. I'm not rping with that.

Larger wars have been successfully orchestrated in the past. Nobody had a problem with introducing allies when Diol had the upper hand.

I'm sorry that this didn't turn into the curb stomp some people seem to have wanted, but I'm not responsible for doing other peoples' research regarding who they're attacking. Diol's been after Alex for 3 years now, he knew what would happen here because it happened every other time he took a swing at Alex.
Again, given Vak/Diol's propensity for WMD strikes, and the roleplaying regions that would be impacted by same, there's no invitations to rescind. My neighbors and allies, who would be dramatically impacted by my country's potential destruction, which I am risking here, have every right to be here.
