First, it's NOT 6 vs 2. Egypt does not fight the others.
It's 5 vs 1, and that only if Egypt stops Greece from coming after us.
Second, 5 vs 1, 6 vs 1... is that a big difference? The cash loss sure is!!
5 vs 1 with zero cash left in the bank, zero to two immortals, vs
6 vs 1 with over 400 cash, up to TEN immortals by the time attackers hit our door.
I mean really, isn't this a no-brainer NOT to spend gobs of cash on an alliance to keep back one foe? (EDIT- top two choices are close in the poll, but in reality, the votes are 77% to 23% to not spend more than needed to build at least 6 immortals quickly)
The time to ally was after the babs declared war on us, for a 100% improvement in the odds, not now for a 17% improvement.
