Wow, miss the thread for two days and a million things happen. What a terrible thing to have happen to a game, especially one that is labeled as a newbie game. As for my two cents on the matter, I'd say it's highly unlikely Ry'leh purposely sabotaged themselves, considering the amount of trading that went back and forth between me and them.

I vote for option 3, as while I'm not in the greatest position in this game, I still have a few strategies I'd like to try out. That is, if AI Ry'leh doesn't wipe the floor with me, I've already got some invasion forces pushing their way inwards on me.
