it sounds like your race is honerable/warrior, as you seem to be playing with that trait more important.
your hypothetical situation: maybe, if they ask you to break the t&r, you should first ask the jreaner to stop attacking, tell the ixiatl what your doing, then break the treaty if the jreaner don't stop.

I think Narf's on the right track here. Your longstanding friendship/alliance with the Xiati makes them (essentially) an extension of your own empire. If they are attacked, you should respond the same as if it was you that had been.

I guess I have known the Xiati longer, and a Partnership treaty indeed require to breake any trade treaty with the partner's enemies, right?
There is no technical reason why you can't have a partnership with two races who are at war with each other...
Its all politics there.

Yes, The Xiati partnership should be given priority. Honourable means, within other things, that somebody is loyal and committed, so if a partner is attacked the moral thing to do would be to declare war on the partner's enemy. I mean, a partnership is a higher treaty than a Military treaty.

Maybe SE5 diplomacy should include...... alliance wars?

Oh well, the weekend's coming and I'm not gonna be able to play probably untill monday.....
