well, sure... but it gets even better if we can deny them the ToE.
To be clear: I never proposed attacking Free. I only proposed declaring war on them
By declaring War on Free, they would be forced to divert resources to defense - which they have had the luxury of avoiding so far. They are the only scientific civ that has yet to build a substantial military.
I don't think attacking them would be smart - I subscribe to the Powell doctrine: Attack all at once with overwhelming force. The Council and Saber have nothing to gain by stalling scientific research so as to build up an overwhelming invasion force.
Like Niklas says, if Saber and The Council are researching in pairs along the tech tree, we will advance to the MA much faster than Free alone can.
I had already forgotton how ugly that was (I read it when we started here). No matter whether you win or lose, war like that is ugly. I'll never get used to modern warfare. Swords and Maces, that is a nice fight. Not this high tech stuff...
