Treaties..... whats the point?

[couslee]

I did reverse to two AI setting, and things seem to be going fine. The neutral I attacked is still muderous. The phong keeps bounging back and forth from murderous and angry. And cue capa has slowly increased to bortherly, which is one level higher than when we made the trade alliance (now at 12%).
This is the kind of behaviour I would expect. I have been pretty much leaving the neutral alone, wanting to see how no contact affects it murdeous mood. I do occasionaly pop a ship through the worm hole to make sure it's not amassing a fleeet on the other side. it hasn't done that.
I do have planets in the adjoining system, and I am sure that has an impact. but I have no delusions that it will take more than 8-10 turns to have them warm up a notch. so far, so good. we'll see.
Unless of course, my fleet has to pass through their choke point system. then it's c-ya. lol
