To me the "Battle Royale" concept is a cop-out....

[snip]

I don't think that a true Last Man Standing game requires rules to disadvantage alliances....

I agree it's a cop out. But when 2 races refuse to fight each other to decide the winner, you might as well end the game with something of note rather than a drawn out MM fest that no-one wants.
The outcome might already be a foregone conclusion, but what does that matter when both remaining players are ready to finish the game. Besides, if #1 turns up with far more nubs than #2, then #2 hasn't been doing his job properly and deserves to lose.

IMO, if a host wants his game to be certain of finishing with a single winner then he needs hard-and-fast rules that say so. Just stating "Last man standing" is not enough as the benefits of an alliance are far too attractive.
