Game File sent to Persia.
I've made a mistake and started an Alliance with Egypt. Thought that was OK after turn 5, and that PLAYERS couldn't make an alliance until after turn 10. I'm traveling on business, and didn't have time to check this board until now (read Qummik's post too late).
I'll be happy to redo my turn (there was no combat, nor potential for combat). Or, I'll send a unit over to attack Egypt and break the alliance. That will also throw me into another war, and ruin my reputation with the other AI's -- probably a fair penalty for breaking the rules.
Really sorry about this. I'll be back in the office on Wednesday (Tokyo Time) and will be able to play regularly and check this board. My apologies to Ceasar Qummik for this diplomatic faux pas.
