Or anyone who knows the answer.
Basicly what I want to know is.. are there certain times, or situations, where a certain computer opponenent will just NOT ally with you?
I ask this because in one game.. I allied with the Torians and the Thalan fairly easily. Later on I wanted to expand my alliance to the Arceans. because I am still trying to figure out the system, I decided to save the game to see what combination of "gifts" worked the best to open an alliance.
I started off at neutral. About 7 techs, 5 unique trade goods, and 6 planets later... he STILL would not move above friendly and show the alliance button.
This lead me to beleive that it simply isnt possible to form an alliance with some races, sometimes.
Is this true?
