http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/alliance
a formal agreement or treaty between two or more nations to cooperate for specific purposes.
Rha ! Don't mess with english words ! They're above dictionnaries !
So to clarify : Don't sign NAP (non-agression pact), but sign the full-all-in-one pact, aka alliance, wich contains a NAP, a Defense Treaty, an Agression pact (if one faction declares war on X, all other faction in the pact declare war on X) and a Trade Agreement. All this for the same piece of paper ! Unbelievable offer !
Edit : Oh thanks Rhaelys, i missed this topic. Guess that's why i'm no diplomat, nor topic hungry like ToD.
I'll edit right away my previous post, if you agree on it, not to mislead any future readers. I missed it, i mean it IS on the second page.
Lost edit :Stop calling CHAOS backstabbers, they didn't have much of a choice since they are allied with DRZ (even if the conditions of that alliance are not clarified, thus a full alliance i expect) who declared war on FCC. As allied, they had to support DRZ.
I just have to say that this is the problem when you sign too many treaties with too many different factions. Sometimes, you have to choose a side. Or rather, you have to stick with your side. ALLY > NAP, the end.
