This, and if you are the only one not making alliances, you shouldn't surprise yourself if, by the time you start a war, you get seriously outnumbered.

When Asylon forms an alliance we mean it that is the difference between us and the Moot.

Standard rebuttal #14.

[Chenier]

Allies of allies can't declare war. We've got an invulnerable shield of alliances!  Viva D'Hara! We are the alliance spiders! We are the dragons that hoard as many alliances as gold!

And turn and burn them like peanuts when the right time comes. Asylon doesnt work like that.

Amusing then, that, D'hara, with lots of alliances, has managed to provide a diverse game experience with major components of politics, religion, trade, and war– multiple wars on multiple fronts.

When was the last time Asylon engaged in major geopolitics or fought a war?

Oh yeah. When Terran dragged you into it because you couldn't find anything fun to do yourself.

Alliances are catalysts of conflict, not preventatives of it. Read George Washington's farewell address from a descriptive rather than prescriptive stance.

Being in the center of the map its only natural you feel the need for so many alliances. Your kingdom is as porous as swiss cheese since naval landings became a thing. Anyways I'll agree with you on some of your points.

Alliances brought WWI. Who else would have cared for what went on in Serbia otherwise?

Further proof that massive entangled alliances are bad 

[Feylonis]

...what.

Alliances provide something to be broken. Multialliances give for dynamic conflict, which is basically a big no to everything you've ever said about the matter.

It is quite interesting when 2 allies of yours fight each other. You will have to chose who you help.

Well I tend to look at alliances as friendships that should be cultivated. Coming from Feylonis who is hardly trustworthy and the likes of Chenier and Vellos no wonder no one should trust your word in an alliance. I look at alliances like England and Portugal, or Canada and the states. You guys look at them as mere stepping stones to a powergrab... And Im looked at like the bad guy here...

Since when were the two alliances you named not stepping stones to a powergrab...?

[Glaumring the Fox]

Well perhaps we have different definitions of how one does things. I prefer some quality, you prefer quantity.

[Anaris]

Quite explicitly, in fact, since your 2 allies cannot go to war (officially) as long as they are both allied with you.

So either one of them has to decide they like you less than they hate your other friend, or you have to decide which friend you like most, and drop relations with them.

Or you can just drop relations with both of them.

Isn't BM fun? Playing with so many people with so many conflicting ideas.
