That's a pretty big if/when. What if no one else takes the traitor card for 3 more rounds, or never? I don't have any assurances in such a case you won't just keep attacking me. So letting you get a foothold right off the bat for such a scenario is pretty extreme.
*shrugs*
It's up to you, but I can't win this game if I don't take any tiles. I have that one Ancient hex north of my homeworld, but I'm saving that for later, for now I need to secure my front. My options are limited to either the hive or Castor, which are both yours, or I go into Khell's territory, which, frankly, are not very attractive hexes right now. So either you're going to have to invest in keeping those tiles away from me, and run the risk of problems back home, or you let me have the hive. Someone's going to have to break diplo eventually, I'd rather be the first to do it so that I don't end up with the traitor card.
I guess I just don't see why if you were honestly keen on an alliance you wouldn't just want to ally and then take the hexes, instead of this insistence on allying after. Oh well.
In any case, keep an eye on Khell's hexes as he is probably gearing up to build a dreadnaught and send it to Vega. If I and the ancient pin down his ships his hexes will be left undefended.
I can't take a hex from you after we've allied without leaving the alliance, no?
You've got it influenced, and you have a planet colonized, I can't take it from you if we're allied, so I'd have to leave the alliance to take it.
Anyway, if I allied with you, that would only leave Khell's hexes, or CF's hex south of the Hive as potential hexes for me to take. I just don't see what good I can do without that hive hex. So I'll have to take it, again, barring any major unexpected problems.
A lot of this depends on where the hive sends the next Ancient too. I'm hoping it goes into one of CF's hexes so that I don't have to worry about downing another ancient. That would give me the freedom to both take the hive and still defend from Khell if I have to.
