I really feel bad about what I have just done. I am playing a Stock Game of SEIV, nothing like the plain SEIV Gold to get you going, and well one of my long time Neutral allies sends me a request for Trate and Research alliance. I responded by breaking our treaty and having already positioned my fleet over their Home World I attack.
I feel horrible as they resisted my ground troops and ultimately my fleet had to obliterate the planet.
All they wanted to be was good friends, and I glass their Home World.
I feel horrible now.
