Ты когда-нибудь задумывалась, как можно смоделировать переговоры о союзе, чтобы напряжение оставалось на должном уровне, а риск ощущался вполне реально?

That’s exactly the balance we need—tight enough to force decisions, loose enough to keep options open. Put a “black‑mail” card in each deck, only usable when the other side is on the brink of collapse. It forces them to weigh the cost of a single move against the long‑term partnership. The trick is to let them feel the power to choose, while the clock counts down, so every negotiation becomes a calculated gamble.
