What takes me wonder is that basically nobody (except the India/Korea-partnership) seems to really try to work together with his allies. First 5 players decide to go against India and 1 of them backs out at the minute the last one comes to aid them. Then Whosit signs a deal with Nakor so that they both will defend each other - and as soon as that situation arises, Nakor is doing nothing to really help him out. Also Athlete working with Whosit on an attack against slaze backs out so that his partner gets the whole attack into his face. And slaze - who did not have to fear another attack by Athlete - is not taking only peace with Athlete but instead gifts him an army so that Athlete can go against... his (edit: slazes are meant) allies.
I'm not getting it why everyones seems so eager to betray his allies only to get a short advantage, if an advantage at all. And what I cannot understand even more is why none of the players seems to hold it against them.
In my opinion everyone is only doing what he thinks will help him in the next few turns but (maybe except for India and Korea) nobody tries even to build long working honest relationsships. Maybe that is due to no techtrading - it seems nobody finds any incentive to help someone else. Though in the long run my guess would be that nations which work together in honesty and come to aid the other will be on the winning side. I guess Korea already refused to betray India because they noticed that everyone else does not give much on their allies.
But maybe I am wrong on that? Still, if I would have to betray an ally at least I think I should get more out of it then 10 turns of peace with my enemy.
Btw: Excuse my English, I am not a native English speaker.
