Silly BF! War with an ally out of the running when you're aiming for #1 now. I only see this as being completely unnecessary incoming when you could have just sat and let ult and faceless fight it out. Theres still plenty of ticks for your farming and alliance positions in t3 will surely take a swift change
Spore I understand.. a few nice lands gives them nice gains to move up the ranks and keep the members happy beavers.
Nd... zomg...potentially a dire decision
