About makin peace with an empire at war !

[boromeo]

Thank you all for for your so quick answers..now i know what to do but i wonder why the cease fire or make peace option with empires at war aren't part of the game but that another story..anyway thanx to all..

Ah, non-aggression is the term, yeah.

The question really is "what is peace"?
If you avoid each other despite having no treaty, that's somewhat peaceful. If you only shoot intruders, and coexist outside, that's a little more peaceful. If you allow them to fly anywhere you don't have mines, that is even more.


I suggest "only in neutral space", mainly because you are at war right now. Do you really want to let their warships fly through your homesystem?
Treaties can be broken after all, and you shouldn't trust them yet.

The thing about the "only in neutral" space is that while, yes, you can attack their ships that come into your system, *they* can also attack you in your systems...

[Suicide Junkie]

They can attack you in your system anyways.

The point of this is that you can shoot them down at the gates instead of letting them get into orbit of your homeworld before they declare war and glass it.

Meanwhile, you can play nice outside and even team up against a common enemy despite not trusting each other...

I can tell you are making these suggestions with PBW in mind...

[Suicide Junkie]

Well, AIs are not trustworthy either. They'll Eorg your planets if you don't protect your borders.

I think a nessasary piece of information is that all treaties contain at least part of an implicit peace treaty.
