I think you are setting yourself up for a headache.
If you want treaties to be honored then have them registered in the forum and stipulate that.
They can be regulated and if someone breaks one then the rest of the folks in the game can refuse to trade with them or gang up on them or whatever.
IF you DON'T want to make it public (secret agreements are GOOD sometimes) 6then don't be suprised or mad if you are stabbed in the back.
But to say you would like them to be honored but its a war game will pit some folks agianst each other and we will have a 13 page argument likei have seen in some other forums.
OK...I have said what I can, If you want to leave it as it stands I have no problem with it.
Just trying to clarify it because we all are new and friends (and enimies) will be made in the first few games.
