Well, me and Dusty have been allies in I believe every single Hegemony, or atleast never been at war (except when it was the only way for the game to continue, being in the last couple players). And, to be fair, I specifically told my flame boats not to attack the troop transports, because killing all those troops without even a chance wouldn't be fair or fun for anyone. Plus, I don't like everyone teaming up on someone because someone decides they are getting too powerful. Kinda the situation I'm in now in Napoleonic. Heh, I love how everyone there had like 10 people, and I had a billion or so, and all I would have had to do to win was kill the civil war infested US.
