i want to have a 5 sided war (woopee) and i just want to know if i can do that, then have a mission where 2 form one side, 2 form another side, and 1 is left alone to fend for themselves. is that physically possible in EV, or just a bunch of wishful thinking?
by the way, has anybody noticed that on the toic thread list, there are two topics, one that asks in the subject if anyone needs any graphic artists, then the next one down says, basically, graphic artist needed. that just cracks me up.

You can certainly do alliances and conflict between the governments, but they're not dynamically changeable. If you want two former enemies to become allies, you'll have to use visbits and additional governments to swap all of the systems controlled by "A (hatesB)" to ones controlled by "A (lovesB)", with ships of the appropriate government, etc.

Have a 5-sided war is not possible: call these governments A,B,C,D and E. You can make the following : in the gövt ressource of A, set the ennemy field to B, in the govt B, set to C, etc govt E ennemy A. But at the end A will make war upon B and E, but not to C and D, B will make war upon A and C, but not upon D and E, ect The max you can do is a 3-sided war.

You'll have to wait for Nova's government classes to do this sort of thing effectively.

Not so, use the Xenophobe flag.
A, B, C, D, E all have the Xenophobe bit sit-- they attack everybody. They wont necessarily attack the player unless he gets a bad reputation with them. When its time for alliances, make a new govt, "b" which replaces B and is xenophobic, but has A designated as an ally. Similarly make "d" to replace D and is allied with C. E is left alone fighting everybody.

But then you can't have neutral parties in your war very effectively.
