Yea, treaties are one of the harder things to use in a game with multiple entities under one empire. I say no greater than T&R, because I see that and everything under it, as just a recognition of interaction and trade...not like actual treaties.

I think I will limit treaties to the discretion of the Circle of Fifteen and the Overlord. Meaning these represetatives will all have to agree for the treaty to be made. However, I plan on concessions. So if four want a T&R, but the one that borders the said empire, does not trust them, they may only get a non-aggression. I do not plan to declare war on anyone. As rarely, if ever, will all tribes fight one empire. Rather, on my part, I'll use the none, if one tribe wants to battle someone while the other four remain aloof.

But you are right, there is no way to have two kinds of treaties.

My Last approach is just to structure it by borders. If Geo's empire borders only the Omon, all treaties I make with his empire are treaties with the Omon, as interaction with the others will be minimal.

I hope to use a variety of tricks and half-*** explinations to get through this.

If you have some suggestions, by all means.
