My Ally Betrayed Me- Locked Teams!

Before I was just playing a 2v1 match, me and a TEC AI vs an Advent player. I put my ally on Unfair (1.05 patch) and the Advent on Hard.

Soon, I have almost 70 LRMs, 100 Cobalts, 1 Dunov, 2 Kols, 2 Sovas, 3 Marzas, 20 Kodiaks, and more. But the Advent attack and outnumber my forces 3 to 1 (I had less than half my fleet at the planet) I called in my friend but just as he got there he didn't fire a shot and left immediately. I retreated and regrouped my main fleet. I attacked and tried to retake my planet but Advent reinforcements again pushed me back.

By now I was getting aggrivated. I used the Novalith cannon on the asteroid. I went there and it just so happens that since it took me about 5 minutes to research the Novalith they got 10 GPs. I destroyed half but then they brought in 2 Radiance Battleships. I again retreated. For the rest of the match I was on the defensive.

At one point my only planet left is my Homeworld (I originally had 11 planets). I call my "friendly" AI in to help me push the Advent fleet away, but I doubted they'd even help. I was correct, as they said "No thanks, I'm not in the mood to backstab my ally"

I was surprised at this. During this battle I lost 13 Kodiaks, 2 Marzas, my only Dunov, 30 Cobalts, and 50 LRMs. I was pushed from my planet and retreated to a nearby nebula. There I sustained only two attacks until I lost.

I was surprised AI could make alliances with other teams, ESPECIALLY since I set it to "Locked Teams"

That is surprising.

Are you 100% absolutely sure you set up the teams correctly (ie: gave your ally the same team number as you)? I am presuming the answer is yes, but I had to ask.

Only thing I can think of is to send a save game file or replay file (if you don't have a well timed save) to Ironclad (or does Star Dock handle that now?).

PS: I just noticed the difficulty was "Unfair" (sort of ironic), maybe it's a glitch w/ that or something  :NOTSURE: .

lol this is most likely a bug in 1.05 or you didn't lock the teams! I've never had this happen before though...

the same always happens with me, whenever i ask an ally to assist me, this exact thing happens

Maybe they don't like you lol. :) But seriously, you should send the replay to Stardock. This is definitely a bug. This shouldn't happen.
