Yep Ubercat, that's right. You normally expect an answer back two turns after you send your message.

No limits on diplomacy, but a general rule in dominions is that if you agree to a non-aggression pact with someone, you don't break it without the agreed warning period (people generally form, say, a 3-turn NAP which means three turns' notice must be given for the end of the NAP). In fact in general, if you agree to some well-defined thing ("I will send you a horror helm" etc), you should stick to it. It might be interesting to play a more Machiavellian game at times, but this is the convention that's grown up, and it's a nice one really.
Excellent. I played in Evernight (evernightgame.com) long before I bought Dom3, and the terminology is even similar. NAP3, etc. I wonder if that's parallel evolution? I haven't played enough Email or web based strategy games to know if the language is just universal. "SC" certainly seems unique to the Dominions series. I'm surprised it isn't just "tank."
