It just seems that player #1 and #2 should not have it that easy in regards to making treaties with each other, they actually should be on a hightened war footing against each other and scrambling to alighn the smaller races in the game
OTOH, you have the historical example of Germany and the USSR agreeing to partition Poland at the beginning of WW II.

I've got one solo game where I'm #2, and the only player not at war with the MEE TDM-ModPak Ukra-Tal AI (except for the Sergetti, whom I'm at war with; they apparently don't have contact with the Ukra-Tal). My allies keep asking me to break off relations with the Ukra-Tal, but that would put me in a suicidal two-front war.

ISTR reading somewhere that in Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri/Alien Crossfire, the AI is hardcoded so that the 2nd place player will always dislike whoever's in 1st.
