It's a tough situation for Sandalak, to be sure. Ikalak and Taselak have had a no-compete agreement since the beginning of the game. They've never fought a single battle, or even attempted to steal a region from each other on the sly. Given that, I'm surprised Sandalak managed to last so long. I'm not sure what Ikalak thinks they gain from this. Taselak will grow huge and fat, and Ikalak will get steamrollered.
I think that is the goal, at least for some within Ikalak
