Hello
So i'm in an immortal game as France. Everything was going pretty well until i got backstabed with a huge Army by Washington.
We were in a Friendship and Defensive Pact for over 1000 Years, probably about 100 Turns. Me, him and Japan in a triangle to rule the world. Supporting each other in every war and with research, it was a really nice time while we were dealing with the savage brutes of Alexander and Bismark and and sometimes Spain or Aegypt.
My religion was dominant on the Pangaea and America adapted it happily. Only Spain and Greece had other Religions with more than one City.
I really thought i have done everything right Diplomacy wise and was happy to finally be able to maneuver the game exactly in the direction i wanted.
Then in 1450 A.D. the backstab happened and because America had open borders with me for centuries, so they were actually able to contribute in the war, their attack was devastating and their numbers too much to handle, even with walls. My Army, while strong was way out of position on the greek front and was unable to rush back in time and key Cities fell. Leaving my empire in a stat where winning is very unlikely.
Does that happen often ? is there a way to prevent it ? Anyone got some advice of some sort ?
Thanks, and sorry if my English isn't perfect.
Edit: In the title it should obviously say Friends, sorry about that.
