Good point. If there's ever a good time for a backstab this would be it. That's the price you pay for allying in a one winner game.

Well in fact that wouldn't be necessary. Given the situation, the #1 player wouldn't be able to take on the entire universe by themselves. Rolling Eyes

Besides, who wants a reputation as a backstabber? Just means for future games that potential allies might be far less trusting. Razz

As i intiated the back stabbing posts, i have to say, that did also mean the possiblity of simple cancelling the alliance.

While then #1 has 5 years to ready himself, #2 can still do things, that offer a slight advantage.
E.g. argue, without lying ets., #1 into spending much resources upon a design useful against current enemies and secretly build up the counter design.
Or making secret alliance with some other players and trade them techs, ships or planets and maybe get some special devices, like robber baron or mines or cheap overcloakers or gate network.

Clever people will have further ideas how to prepare for ending treaty without breaking it.

Of course this never gives as much advantage as a full backstab, but if the difference between #1 and #2 is not too big it might be enough to have a chance.
