I can set Ctis AI and switch to Pythium if no one has a problem with it. I believe once I've gone AI as one nation I can switch to another without the server freaking out.
Suites me fine. I can play this turn while tratorix makes C'tis go AI, then tratorix can take over Pythium from there. Once this is the confirmed course of action, I will message all the tips and diplomacy info I have to tratorix.
