Yup yup, I got mad because other player didn't promise anything but you did break our NAP. So I wanted that other player to take all my lands and then crush you. And it worked out, like a last laugh. Good that you learned your lesson though.

You're right. A NAP is not an alliance or even a collaboration. It just means the players do not want war *for now*. There can only be 1 winner, unless it is a team game, and so, war is inevitable (unless the players otherwise get defeated by other nations).

I wouldn't go anywhere near as far as saying " when you see one past around turn 5, be suspicious." I never offer NAPs to nations I haven't even found yet. Rarely if we don't share a border or expect to shortly share one. Nor have I gotten many offers from distant nations.

So a NAP offer later in the game means: "Hey, looks like we're going to be neighbors. Are you willing to be peaceful or do you want to fight?"

I'm confused. He broke the NAP by ignoring the expiry period and attacking immediately?

Or you got mad because you had a NAP, but he sent the notice of termination and then attacked after the expiry period was over? That's not "breaking a NAP", it's "canceling a NAP".

Our peace ended at turn 24, and I sent the notice on turn 19. So even once the NAP was fulfilled, the peace term would have two more months left. I suppose I could say I've never broken a NAP then, just a peace treaty. But why have a NAP and a peace treaty?
