In most of the games I've been in, religious tech was disallowed.

Pardon me if I overlooked a post about this, but has your alliance tried targeting planets instead of his fleets? If you can hurt an empire economically, even ships carrying the talisman will fall into disrepair.

We're not at war yet. Still playing cold-war semi-friendly politics. Lot's of role-playing. He's more or less made his intentions clear however.

Trust me, if we can get enough ships up to the line before he attacks we'll go after planets. Problem of course is that his empire is about 6 systems deep.

We'll see.
