I guess Matrix had a bit of the same in RtW2 And BTW, there hardly is a point in having an aggresive leader and being peaceful, right?

Then Stapel attacks BCLG, BCLG builds a retaliation force, while it is sailing hears a rumour from Shabba I was building lots of cannons (while I did not even have Steel ) and decides to attack me instead. Then Stapel gifted all units he had build to me and I finally managed to fight BCLG out. Apart from having to cut all jungle in the Amazon bassin which made me really look bad from an ecologocal PoV that was about my game.

A good deal demands a good interpretation of the actual in game situation as well as a minimum clarevoyance.
betrayl or being faithful is just a game choice, and it sounds fine to me, so im always prepared to deal with traitors, and civ allows we keep an eye on the cat while another one is on the fish... keepn spies on friends is aways a good thing to avoid suprise deal breaking.. I think once its phisically possible, one should know that when hes about win, and his fella is not that far, theres a eminent deal breaking. |

I completely agree with your assessment of the situation. War between the two of us at the end of RTW2 would not have benefitted either of us, it would only have benefitted a third party. And to break a deal for the benefit of a third party makes no sense to me. Our deal was very beneficial to the both of us I think. Together we crushed Russia in the beginning, and during the middle part of the game the deal provided us with a secure partner that allowed the allocation of resources to the elimination of other neighbours (China for you and Rome for me). In the late game any struggle between us was useless (IMHO) because such a struggle would have completely drained the victors resources allowing a third party to win by space. The only option remaining was to team up with a lot of other partners to eliminate either India of the Vikings. IIRC Matrix even offered/suggested this to me, but I saw little use for it. I was more interested in keeping the homeland safe and stable for the spaceship win and getting revenge against the Aztec barbarians (who also played a very good game, IMHO, especially considering the relative isolation of the starting location)...

Just for the record: I never tried to argue that long term deals are wrong! I simply would like to address that there are a few risks attached to it. Mostly that a permanent alliance can lock the game.
