Oh believe me even before I had no chance of winning not in a million years but it certainly has not helped the alliance I am in and completely messed up ingame future plans for our alliance.


Just to add my tuppence.
You post that you were also in a "regular" alliance, as well as having this "outsider" set to friend.

If you had been given notice by the "outsider" that he was going to attack you then likely he would also have faced your full alliance.

I think that he made the right decision.
Note I am not criticisng anybody here.
I have been in exactly the same situation with regard to player relations (even had players set to friend that other friends were fighting with), but you have to be careful in such situations.
If you want the advantages of having somebody set to friend then you have to take the downsides.

Too many games are spoiled by large groups of players casually setting each other to friend (and I am also guilty of that).
So anything that can reduce that tendency has to be good, IMO.
You only have to see the lengths that people go to in trying to set rules that make people fight to see that this is the case.

Regards,

Yeah I agree with that (that far to many people set far to many other races in game as friend (I have been extremely guilty of this charge!)). So yeah there is a need for hosts to set rules to force people into war. And it is a game of conquest so yeah hosts need to do this cus it is the nature of the game.

But just for the record it wasnt as if this guy was a loner, complete isolated. In fact his economy before the attack was definitely stronger than mine. Plus I know he was (I assume still is) in an alliance or at least a strong friendship of 3 or 4 himself.

So it just annoyed me. He was in a stronger position than me in game and he had friends himself whom Im sure would have aided him in battle. He wanted to declare war on me. Fine. I just would have thought a lot more of him and no ill feelings etc etc if he had given me a years notice and made it a fair fight.
