Re: Neutral - What is that ?

1. does that mean that your not allied to anyone ?

if that is the right point, how is that worked out ? is it really possible to be neutral in a round with private gals ? (me looks at retals etc)

2. does that mean that you have allies, which claim to be neutral while they are not hostile to the rest of the game ?????

if that is the right point please explain how that should work in a war game ? isnt attacking, if random targets or not, already a "hostility?"

3. If "you" claim to be neutral but have joint galaxies with certain "not-neutral" alliances doesnt that mean you to follow the rules of their gals ? and if you have members in those galaxies they cant attack galaxies with the same members so isnt that already taking side in a war ?

4. Does neutrality mean = hostile to all ?

that should only work in random round (imo) because "normally" neutrals in jointgalaxies with one of the "powerblocks" arent in the position to make the rules.


5. if that all is wrong, what is neutrality ? (in this game)
Basically, being 'neutral' means being in a political position to place yourself in the best position possible alliancewise. None of the alliances in this game are neutral, at least not for an entire round.

Most 'neutral' alliances only cowardly wait until it's more obvious what the winning side is before allying to them...

There are the alliances that ally the weaker side to prevent stagnation, but that's rare.
