That is the situation. I am part of one pact group in the core, but I kinda would like to see another 2 or three Rim pact groups light things up and get the Diplomatic situation upset. The game would be more interesting if intrigue were more a part of it and sheer size and power were less of an issue...
We have seen some stuff in O44. SS, a great looking alliance simply dissolved and melted and everyone joined various alliances...
Seems the leaders couldn't handle a real fight without running for cover. I personally ran to the other side, both on principle and geography. Why would I want to follow a weak leadership with no geographic position near me when I can work with the winners who are geographically close by? Simple result in the decision.
However, that hardly qualifies as interesting... SS was rats leaving a sinking ship when leadership merged to Alco and didn't send invites to everyone. That shows how weak their leadership was. Ran to O45 rather than fight for O44.
O44 is shaping up to be THE most interesting ocean in this server so far. I grabbed a few guys over here from O75 when I restarted with 3 cities without a loss to actually get a better position and more fun and it is shaping up to be fun for myself and the players who roll with me!
Happy Hunting!
