Instant Allying with Human Opponets?

from Sins Forums

Hello everyone.  Using Rebellion, is there any way players can ally with who ever they want when ever they want regardless of there current relationship or race?  Eight of us will be playing over a LAN and as people get taken out I don't want them to sit around for hours while other play. that's just not fun.  I was trying to find a way anyone could ally when ever they wanted, this way if someones is about to loose there last planet they could quickly ally with there conqueror   They then still play but under orders from his conqueror..... any thoughts?

I think you'd need a mod that reduced the requirements for a cease fire to really low, like -10 or something.

we do similar in LAN, but we just make alliances with people in private chat, sometimes not accepting an alliance ingame so others dont know.  }:)  I may have 6 allies and one guy that thinks he has 4 when he only has one. 

Makes for very interesting games.

Guys thanks for responding so quickly.  Myfist0, when you guys are playing how do you ally quickly with your private chat allies when you choose to do so?

Thanks

Diplomacy research is the only way, and dont attack them, turn off auto attack until actual war. Once you can give money and metal/crystal, and have envoy bonuses, you should get a cease fire option pretty quick. We never usually bother with that to much. If he dont attack you he is an ally in the making.

The guy that attacks scouts and envoys, and just wants to blast everything that moves usually dont last long. Send a scout both ways, the side that tries to kill your scout is meat, the other side tries to kill your scout or envoy as well, best get your game face on a do some beggin' for a partner. Usually one or both sides will let scouts pass and envoys park. Start colonizing towards the sun and not deep into your neighbors territory. Get 3 or 4 planets and someone will be blasting everything or going deep in a friendly or your territory. Team up and go kill 'em.

Get near is HW and he may give up, tell him he has to feed you and no military ships for a while, or if he has an ally, make him take his fleet to his allies well and declare war on him to prove allegiance. Ahhh, good times. Making someone your bitch is the best; I rather go down in flames, some stick it out. 

If you have a good group, FFAs blow set team games out of the water.


EDIT

Oh, BTW, dont let your ally build starbases in your well without permission, chances are they are preparing to backstab you.
Trust me, I invented it and paid the price many games after.  }:)

sounds like you guys have had some awesome games!  We need a game setting where you can ally with anyone anytime regardless of rep or race. That would be sooooo much easier.
