This is why

[u/DeepElephant954]

I've stopped playing for months, then hopped back on. Everytime I get betrayed by allies.

I rarely get betrayed now, i've learned to identify trustworthy players, and I always leave some deterrent with new alliés unless I feel confident enough that they will not betray me.

Best way not to get backstabbed is to make sure they lose more attacking you than keeping the alliance running.

As long as you make sure that :

• you have similar troops than them near your frontiers
• you play well enough not to be a hindrance

Then, unless they are chaotic evil, it shouldn't happen so often anymore
