Guess what... I found a way to force allegiance by attacking someone...
Create an enemy Blind Lame Priest in front of a Barracks unit or something.
Enemy diplomacy is Neutral but turn Allied Victory on.
Your diplomacy is Ally, Allied Victory on.
In game, turn diplomacy to Enemy and attack.
I've been able to recreate this multiple times. I attack the priest, it begins to convert, then stops. I get two messages.
"blah blah blah Enemy."
"blah blah blah Ally."
This could be used in a scenario where you need to usurp power from someone important, but they're in a well guarded fortress and they are the only hittable unit that won't make you lose the game.
I think this is fantastic. If you can recreate it, post here. I want to make sure it's not only me.
After more testing, it happens much more frequently when using Slingers vs Blind Lame Priests. For some reason there is like a time frame in which it happens. I'll upload a scenario that it will always happen when I get down to the actual triggers of this glitch.
It happens 100% when there is 1 Slinger and 1 BLP in close proximity both on Stone Age, this results in you losing, but you do see the effect.

So far I've got that going on. I am, however, unable to recreate the instance in which I didn't lose the game. I accidentally forgot to save the scenario I was making when I discovered it (nearly completed 3/4 of a Gigantic map built from scratch D: ).
--------------------------------------------
Sorry for making loads of scrambled add-ons, but I have succeeded in perfecting the system. A better way to ensure that it works.
Player 1, Neutral to 3, Ally to 2.
Player 2, Enemy to 1 and 3.
Player 3, Neutral to 1, Ally to 2.
Have Player 2 constantly attacking a Player 3 building or killing multiple Player 3 units.
Have Player 1 attack a Player 3 unit.
The second Player 3 Allies Player 1, ceasefire or get the final blow on Player 3's unit.
If Player 1 does not ceasefire or kill the unit in time, the glitch is ruined.
If Player 1 OneHitKO's Player 3's unit, the glitch will not work. Axemen/Slinger vs Blind Lame Priest works best.

Take that, Player 2!
