This certainly comes as a surprise! The lesson to be learned here is: never trust a single word of kinngrimm, apparently he is even willing to break an alliance treaty to join the supposed stronger side. We will certainly not forget this!
the lesson to be learned, is don't force someone into an alliance. I have made with all of you an effort to establish relations at some point, mostly i was either ignored or was asked to be a vassal in last strategus. This round i started with a plan and got within the first days after the new map was released the first clans onto it. After the release of strat3.0 the next clans joined in and we made an alliance.
Those clans gave up other options, plans possibilities they had and gave me their word, i never had the intention to brake my word and backstab those who i gave it to me first.
This will be like this in another strategus version, if you agree on something in the start with me i will stick to that as long you stick with me. If you try to make me brake my word even as i told many what my plans would be and who is for these plans, you need to live with it that you get paid in the same currency. How much better is the person trying to split up friends and alliances then the person who sticks to those he gave initially his word to and uses those pulled that crap onto him.
I saw the possibilities of the new map split, defined a goal, got friends/alliance partners motivated for it and then whatever comes next is just part of the game to reach those goals.
I am not proud of the deception, i wont give you crap that you fall for it, i will remain respecting those clans on the opposite site. If you do the same, that is up to you.
