Backstabbing is part of the game

I know many of you guys wont agree with me because backstabbing is annoying I know but i dont think we should enjoy this segment in the game too and not cry like a child

I always expect to be backstabbed so I leave units in place to defend against it, which usually means I don't get backstabbed. Leaving yourself open invites it. Once you have proved yourself to your allies, the threat diminishes but never goes away completely. It is hilarious when a coalition that is full wants you to "help them out" and they can't understand why you say no, knowing that they just want to set you up for them to, to quote the Borg, assimilate you into their collective lol

lol thanks for reply bro i just want people to enjoy

not cry when they get backstabbed and if they still get then try to win or lose because its just a game and you did what you could

Pls like and share with frnds

thank you

When you enter a coalition with other players, each of you has signed a little treaty with one another to cooperate with, aid, and support the others. Backstabbing is a sign that you cannot - and will not - be trusted. It shows you have no honor, that you don't care whether or not your allies are on your side. It's one thing to take over an ally who isn't carrying their weight, but to take over an equal solely on the grounds that you had the option to is a massive blow to people's opinion of you. Instead of a decent comrade, you are now the calm traitor.

At least, such is my view of the matter. Is it a legitimate strategy? Yes. Is it a despicable practice? I believe so.

Don't blindly trust an opponent until they give you a reason to trust them, through their deeds and actions. Until then, be on guard.

I feel like some players forget that it's a war game xD this is call of war not call of peace so backstabbing is bound to happen one way or another. After all everyone gets backstabbed at least once even the good players. Nobody loves getting backstabbed but it requires strategy to make things interesting otherwise the game would be boring without it.

I played a game on the Pacific and I convinced one member of a North American coalition to leave his coalition for mine, and then he backstabbed his ex-coalition mates. I asked him if he wanted to win or not. He chose wisely lol

Even more fun when someone backstabs you and you get the better of them. Then when they ask for mercy you answer with :

NUTS!Anthony McAuliffe

— His famous reply to the German demand for surrender of the surrounded US 101st Airborne Division at Bastogne in the Battle of the Bulge (22 December 1944), as quoted in Bastogne : The Story of the First Eight Days In Which the 101st Airborne Division Was Closed Within the Ring of German Forces (1946) by Colonel S. L. A. Marshal, Ch. 14; delivering the message Colonel Joseph H. Harper was asked "What does that mean? … Is this affirmative or negative?" and replied "Definitely not affirmative."

I wonder if some of us played too much Grand Theft Auto as children.

The only person that can stab you in the back, is the person you are foolish enough to let stand behind you with a knife!

When I get backstabbed, I look at it as more my fault for not being properly prepared!

It is a necessary part of the game, anyone that trusts other they do not know~~well thats their choice!

Very few games are won as individuals in this game, so choose wisely, who you ally with, and how much you trust them

Trust and choosing allies is hard especially if you don't know the player well on day 1. Now when i play a small part of me expects to be backstabbed or betrayed with my allies unless their words match up with their actions. Unless i know my allies well i put up my guard.

Always expect the unexpected! Play to win! Honor didnt help Ned stark, nor did it prevent his end! (Still sad rip) Germany and Russia were allies until... Invasion! The key to winning is using any opportunity, and back stabbing is one of them.

Exactly. So in my recent game there is this guy whining about being betrayed and getting picked on in a 3 vs 1 situation.

Betrayals are a part of warfare. And this is a war strategy game. If you don’t like betrayals, just play the sims! If you don’t like it, why play it

For some it is easier to complain. He is just upset that they did it before he could probably
