Be careful when backstabbing, it is not a good mid or opening tactic. It can be effectively used less than once per game since it is far more important to be honest and earn the trust of everyone. Information and trust are key, not just control of supply centers because it is very easy to lose your shit if everyone hates/distrusts you. Backstabbing is normally too short sighted, and a stigma can build and effect subsequent games.


Trust is the most important thing. Once you can fake that, you've got it made.


A good backstabbing destroys one person and builds trust in others who would be useful. It shouldn't be solely for yourself unless it is decisive.

And don't worry too much about being hated. Having people obviously out for you makes for easy recruiting of their enemies.
