Why are your allies immune to your culture spread? I could understand if you were teamed with them or if you had at a cease-fire agreement with a trade or an intelligence agreement but it turns out that they are immune with only a cease-fire agreement. Just b/c I dont want to bother building the ships to attack him doesn't mean I dont want to own his planets.

I have also experianced a few wierd things this game; b/c my culture cant spread my boarder planet culture seems to be stuck. The first planet that I built a broadcast beacon(x2) has been stuck on +50% culture for over 2000 seconds with a culture spread rate of +2.0/sec. I also have a planet that is stuck at +80% culture. While, the last planet I built a beacon on already reached +100% w/ only +1.2/sec. All technology relating to culture has been fully upgaded.
