Re: Question about diplomacy
By the way, in one of my first games I was approached by another player who offered an alliance against third party. It was a 'nap until the war against Pythium is over'.
Just a few turns later he attacked me, with all my troops at Pythiums border. He explained that he never entered the war against Pythium in the first place, hence his word didnt bind him.
Was I angry? Hell I was. But I understood him. It was wicked, and it was veeeery far-stretched, but such things happen - all is fair in love and war. Of course, words are to be kept - otherwise they wont be believed next time. But sometimes curcumstances do apply, 'all is fair in love and war'.
But of course, when you have a victory almost in your grasp, its hard not to get mad at the one who tries to thwart you.
