Inviolate NAP, First Draft

[sector24]

Ok, you're Lanka and you enter a NAP with Niefelheim. Then you enter a mutual defense treaty with Ermor. Niefelheim has no treaty with Ermor, so he attacks. You are required to come to Ermor's aid and attack Niefelheim, but you are forbidden from attacking Niefelheim due to the other treaty.

When you enter into a mutual defense treaty with Ermor, you have to specify that you have a NAP with Niefelheim, and that you can terminate the NAP with Niefelheim, but you can only attack Niefelheim after certain turns have passed. That is quite a common occurence in my diplomatic agreements, and that has been a standard way of handling it.
