7 years ago I like the idea of having another way to spend resources. Because indeed, now money can only be used 1 way (to pay military) and command tokens too (to execute commands). It makes the game simple, but also very straightforward strategy-wise. Also, the economic side of the game is quite underpowered this way. Military can be used in multiple ways though, I think (to keep territory, to gain territory, to gather invested money...)
My brainfart suggestions:
- Pay X to gain a command token of choice
- Get X by submitting a command token.
- Pay X to lower the required point advantage.
- Lower the team score by 1 to gain X for each team member.

Yet again, while thinking about trackers, win conditions, replayability ... I was thinking about potential game mechanic changes.
The game 'The king is dead' has a very interesting way of playing, where every action you take has a positive, but also a negative impact. And it's all about weighing the pros and cons. Alliances could benefit from this I think and mechanics like this can limit snowballing effects or can make resource scarcity more balanced (i.e. no money build up, because you'd at some point use it for something else; no surplus command tokens, because you'd sacrifice them, ...)
I haven't put much further thought in this, but it might be interesting to list some here (they are just to get you thinking, not as actual suggestions):
