Backstabbing Allies

Just recently owned in a 2v2 with all computers, on locked teams. After the last computer surrendered I kept playing because I loved watching my almost maxed out fleet totally destroy their empire. At the end, when I'm maxing out my fleet to take on the pirate base (I knew I had enough, but I wanted to see a maxed fleet in action), my ally attacks it before I'm ready, and then I colonize. Now that every colonizable planet belongs to us he randomly sends all of his ships to one of my planets, says something like "Take one last look at Jupiter", and then runs over to another planet and does the same thing. I thought it was funny, but it's still a bug I thought should be addressed.

Glitch/Bug: Allies sometimes give an "I'm attacking your planet" message when moving a fleet there.

This one was when every colonizable planet belonged to the player or his allies. The AI wanted to spread out more, though, but couldn't because there were no enemy planets.

I guess?

Didn't attack, just threatened. And then moved to the next one and did the same thing.

If you are win a map with an ally and click keep playing while that ally is still alive it automaticly makes him your enemy. The AI need a enemy. Its great to set up some SB vs SB battles and such.

Maybe in the AI's mind I was his enemy, but we still couldn't attack each other.

Another interesting note is that you can't get acheivements after you win the game. I tried to get the full fleet one, but it didn't give me the acheivement when I did. Makes me sad, cuz I could have done that before I won the game too. Oh well...
