But yes, for most alliances taking a neutral position is usually profitable as long as there's good relationships to back you up when you're going to inevitably need them.

I agree, though I was more aiming at the fact that putting an alliance on hostile because of what happened last round isn't really putting your alliance in the "most" favourable position. I just think it's common to start a round with everything on neutral. During the round however, you decide what politics and wars are needed to obtain your goal.
That's how Angels did it last round, though reality proved us that quite a few alliance didn't start with putting all on neutral (I'm sure it's easy to figure out which ones).
I probably worded it wrongly, but that's what I meant to aim at.
