Re: What Could Go Wrong (Newbie MA CBM1.92) [Uploading Pretenders]
 

I'm a neophyte, so someone correct me if I'm wrong, but what I've gleaned seems to indicate as follows

- NAP is Non Aggression Pact.

- The gist is that if you offer someone a NAP for 8 turns, you are expected to honor it for that length of time.

- You can also do like a NAP + 3 which is basically agreeing to not attack the other person without 3 turns notice.

- Some games NAPs are considered binding and in others they're considered to be more sort of.. guidelines.. we're considering them binding here.

If I fouled that up or someone has more to add, please do so.

I am a neophyte too, but I think you're right.

I would also argue that doing an aggressive dominion push, using unrest-causing troops, and casting blatantly obnoxious or overpowered globals like burden of time or forge of the ancients would count as a violation of the NAP. But I'd probably clarify that in the terms if I ever make one.

As for NAP, generally it means you have to give that much notice with NAP3 being standard but I've also seen NAP2 and NAP5 (i.e. 5 turns notice before attacking). You can also do peace treaties Where you say no war until turn 25...Or even No war until Turn 25 then NAP3 from that point forward.

Some games have house rule that you MUST honor the NAP. Most don't have that houserule but I think in those games if you break a NAP you get a black mark that carries over into other future games.

Also if you trade gems are items it is generally understood that you must follow through with the trade.

CHeers.

BTW I just reviewed the initial post and it says binding NAPs so you can't break them.

Game On!

I'm having trouble loading the turn. I get the message Play a Nation when I try to load the game. As far as I can tell it doesn't think it has a turn file in it. But I copied it and put it in.

I am assuming I need to download the map first, in order to play. But the map is unavailable. http://nikita.tnnet.fi/~elmokki/streamlands.zip times out. :(

Will the one here work? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showpost.php?p=713433

Try running the game as administrator? I get weird behavior with my saves and stuff when I don't.
