Depends how big difference in VPs and/or how likely are they going to attack you
Like if I have > 2k and other members 500 then yeah 'm not carrying people too long. Or against 1 or 3 strong guys in opposing coalition and know that my teammates wont help; case in point last rising tides were 3 main coalitions left. We were #1 with me doing 80 pct of work; Europe had 3 guys with strong navy / air; Europe had a weakened force.
Europe was set to take out s america and win; s america knew they couldn't stop so they could tell I had almost enough for solo so they cut a deal to give me ROW to a Victory site. So I went solo (always leave like 23:55 so game ends tomorrow ) and ended game.
s. America was happy as they kept most VPs / stats; I got the win. They were weak because i destroyed half their armies/navy when they tred to attack me (australia) but we had good respectful battle and left peace after a week long battle.
Europe (russia/france/norway) where planning a surprise attack and after they caught on I was in S America they did attack me in central asia. I was able to hold defense but combined 3 v 1 fire power wouldnt be able to move forward. Plus could tell they had 2 other "friendly" countries so basically 5 v 1.
All along Russia was playing both sides of street and offering me a 2 man win. Figured out he was going for Solo as was hiding fact he could have taken a Victory site.
More than brute force can win a game and diplomacy
