Yes, until now the alliance was good for both of us.
If it was allowed to hold I'm quite certain we had won. Mithras is quite strong himself and while I can of course only guess I think he is in a stronger position than lwarmonger.
But fighting together now until we are the last surviving players while everyone knows that there will be a point where he will be backstabbed. Everything set to the max was quite nice for the early game but I don't think it translates well into late game.
Noone can advance on every border and between evenly matched players I really seems to come down to the one player taking a couple of provinces and the other player taking a couple of provinces in an eternal stalemate. This is what I see between Mictlan and Ulm and what happens between Sauromatia and me.
If we start to fight now it will most likely screw Niefelheim, I see a chance to survive it and I'm not willing to risk him falling into my back when I'm in a bad position.
So I end the alliance now and keep the RoW, sorry Mithras this wasn't planned. It's bad for me too, but if the alliance can't hold it can't hold.
