How Do You Get a Peace Treaty?

Bob Longford · #1 January 23rd, 2001, 02:41 AM

I'm well into my fourth game and am #1 in the scores. Problem, the Norak Continuum is at war with me with a mood of "brotherly." This doesn't seem to make any sense and I can't get them to accept any kind of treaty to end the war. They don't show any treaties with other races who hate my guts. Any suggestions?

Kill 'em all! Who needs a relationship when you can steal their technology and pillage their planets!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

I have the same problem. SOme times they accept my treaty or propose one themselfs, put that is rare. SOmeone should tweak the files for diplomacy, make the treties eaiser to come by. I'm tired of constant war.

Mako, I also like a nice semi peacefull game... I started a game Last week and have been playing it off and on since then and made it all the way to turn 150 b/f anyone declared war on me, it was turn 164 b/f I finally had a battle (didn't even have to build a warship except as a scout till turn 155 or so) The long peacefull game is nice.

playin on 200 quadrant, no nuetrals, 12 other races including EA & Tampa's, low tech start, one planet start, med bonus for all, high tech cost...

I believe there is a setting in the data files 'Mega Evil Empire = ___'. This will have all the computer players declare war on you if you have a score that is a certain percentage higher than everyone elses. In Civilazition II the same thing happened once your score got really high all the computer would team up to try and stop you from winning. So if you want to still be able to use diplomacy when you are ahead of everyone you could raise this number, I think it's in the general settings.txt file.

You could also turn off Mega Evil Empire...

BTW - I'm nowhere near MEE in my current game (I'm in 5th place, with about 1/3 the score of the first place player; second and third place are fairly close to first), yet I have the same problem. The fourth (!) place player consistently refuses treaties, even though his mood towards me is "brotherly" (ought to be, the only reason we're at war is because of an intel operation against me - "Communication Mimic" I think - and just to top things off, I hadn't even encountered that empire in this game when they declared war; still haven't actually encountered them...)
