I like peace treaties and stick to mine. But then, I avoid 'evil' nations,
always take a life domain, and won't touch blood magic. This probably says
something about me, and probably it is not good.

I have had a few treaties broken on me, usually because I have grown too strong,
and once because I was too weak. I do not think I have been often surprised.
The only time I am really bothered is when the player has been role-playing
before that, and all of a sudden breaks a treaty for purely 'play to win' reasons.

For example, Pythium betraying Ulm when their alliance against Ermor had just
started turning the undead tide. This was the first time I was betrayed, and
I still remember it. The real lesson from that game was 'Ulm sucks' though.

My personal view is - you do not have to make treaties and alliances. If you
choose to make them, you better stick by it. If you break them, I will not
attack you in the next game, but I sure as Hell will not make a treaty with you.
I will conduct diplomacy to prove that "you do not want to eat me, you want to
eat my brother", but that's it.

As for this thread, I like that people can talk about their views on treaties,
but I dislike the naming of offenders. Hard to clear a reputation once it is
besmirched, and I am only human. I happen to have two treaties with people
named in this thread, and all of sudden, I am worried.
