I have seen it enforced in some games. Anvils

they should have been at each other's throats.
But it was in a heavily GM'd game.

I don't really think you can force people to attack each other. Wars cost a lot of money, and if you don't have the money to fight one....you don't. And if neither of you can afford to fight one, there's not going to be a war.

Which is exactly what happens in most free for
alls. People do not start a war unless they are
in an alliance, or way ahead. And of course,
once you start a game against an enemy you can
handle, chances are someone else will jump you.
So the game gets decided, for the average player,
by diplomacy. Not many, and certainly not I, get
in the position of being so much ahead as not to
care about other people interferring.

On the other hand, in a two players game, it is
a lot more likely that there will be a fight as
soon as practical. Whatever floats your boat,
but as far as I am concerned, I prefer fighting
as soon as possible.

So maybe we should have two tournaments :-)
