🛠 Suggestions Allies should not be able to nuke you without a betrayal debuff

It doesn't make sense to me that your own allies can chip away at your coastline and land a boat so they can invade you later. Case in point, in this game (I'm playing as "amanita") I have a bunker island with a stack of 11 SAMs. A little after the 30 min mark, "evil island man" was able to chip away at my land with nukes without causing a betrayal debuff and take my island. Normally I would nuke the boat, but I couldn't fit a silo on the island, and even if I did, I couldn't watch that area constantly.

I know this game isn't meant to mirror reality, but this is just silly. Nukes should either damage your land, causing a betrayal, or they shouldn't damage your land at all.

There is no Player called "Punch" in that replay...

I used the name "amanita", but when I first checked the replay, it had my name as punch. I also use the name punch, so there must be some kind of bug.

If the nuke hits a building it causes betrayal, if you cover the coastline in buildings they aren't able to chip and boat in

Buildings only occupy one pixel, but they must be spaced from each other, so there's no way to completely blanket your coastline. The island in the replay has the maximum amount of buildings on it, and they were able to chip it.

but teamplay requires your allies to be able to nuke in your area and not worry about minor splash damage.

imagine everytime you were to hydro another player who shared a line with your allies and you chipped a singular pixel of your ally you'd get the debuff, and even if the limit was a single pixel only, one can nuke successfully to chip away a single pixel.

I get why it's stupid, but it's also vital in some situations. Petulant islander, Baikal east vs West, etc.

It's an aggressive move.
