Breaking up an alliance.

from Stardock Forums
Is it possible to break up an AI alliance? Current game I am in the two major AI powers allied when I wasn't being evil enough and they are not only my major trade partners, but in control of the center of the map, which is bad, m'kay.

Since going to war with the bastards would send me into poverty (well kinda poverty since my best single star is a 16, 25, 47, 25, 20 heh)getting them to fight would be a good thing.

As far as i recall there is no way you can do this and be perfectly sure it will work, but what i have tried is to ally with one of them and then start a war with the other, but it seems to be random which alliance will break and which will hold.

The other way out would be to aplha-strike one of the AI's (i.e. taking out all of the systems in one turn) the other AI won't notice this (don't ask why) and therefore won't declare war.

If you are allied with them you can break your alliance with them, now to break some other AI alliances that is almost impossible. ;)

Playing a huge game means an alpha strike would be pretty tough, so I guess its time to cry havoc and let lose the dogs with bees in their mouths.

I would still try to take out as much on one turn as is possible. The more you take out, the less they can respond with.
