I'd love to play a Civilization-esque game where there's several opponents (maybe with different personalities) competing against me and each other. It would make the universe seem much more alive and challenging!
I was working on this ten years ago
we got someways into it, by alternating the races to opposing ones when conflict occurred so you could in theory run as many races as your performance could handle.
One snag that I remember happened was when 3 way battles needed to start.
Looking at it again i'd probably make small companies that are allied with a major faction but have their own mini faction battles going on, so they can fight each other but don't take part in the larger map fights very often. These companies could only possibly ever be at war with one other company at once. Even easier would just be to say that we can do two more companies and that's it. (Using the unknown race).
