Hey robert,

maybe i am a little wrong but in my opinion there IS
an advantage of an pre-game alliance!

1. The point with the efficiently choosen hubīs
I think with this and the knowledge that my partners
reserve me the planets that i need in their clusters
i have strikly more effecive planets in the map.

And your argument that they donīt know if they are near
enough with their clusters is also a little bit hairy.
If you have an IT in your alliance itīs quite easy to
reach every corner of the map before the game really
starts.

2. The point with the cheap tech fields
Yes i am real newbie but i also know that the endgame phase
is mostly far behind the 26 tech level (weapon, const) knowledge.
So itīs definitiv an advantage to share tech before the endgame
phase with extremly loyal partners to kick out the other player
who doesnīt have these techīs.
And when you can trust 100% your partners itīs no matter to
research maybe bio or electro because you are very shure that
you get the other techs too!

Ok, if there is no more "other" player in the game left you have
to overthink your own position, but in this game it would mean
that there are nearly 10-12 player dead.

3. The point with "loosing" an alliance partner
Spezially because everyone in the pregame alliance knows the
importance of the partners they will strickly fight together
against an opponent. And again is an IT very recommend for this
to gate every kind of ship to every place you want.




And then some lines to your "offtopic" appendix, Robert.
I think there is an big diffence between the discussion i startet
and the one you might want to import into this thread.
First of all is there no indication of an CA TT monster in the
game. Yes, i am an CA TT but this is my second real game and my first
try in an CA, but i donīt think itīs that easy to build a monster.
I wasnīt also forbitten playing an CA here, but if itīs such an
game winning race why was it only 2 times choosen on this game?
Instead of this is (in my opinion) an HP IT race not less stronger as
the CA, or why was it choosen 4 times!!!
And about "the game full of newbies": what i could see is, that there
are lotīs of anti-newbies in the game and only the minority (myself also)
are real newbies! If you really want an newbie game Robert then first
of all you shouldnīt be here!

Something more to think about....
