Panda's / Sparta are such enemies because of coss' leadership, you're right. Bart didn't get a DB Cr for coss' kd or anything. And I must have missed how emeriti actioned Spartans?
According to #tactics diplo between roo/binar/bart/cr/BB Spartans didn't have a cf? I recall binar forced Bart into a none compete and to cf the t5 as a result of cr funding their upcoming (cancelled war) with God's, I think it was.
And pandas/Sparta goes back ages as a supposed team, all the way back to simians maybe.
As for your cf, sure you did. Doesn't mean you weren't manipulated prior to expiry. Was very nice of boss to disappear for your war?
