Relations -- Both parties should agree to a relation change

[NightWolf]

I have a suggestion. It has to do with relations (whether or not you are at War, Neutral, or Peace) with another party.

Over the last few attacks, I've had a few people set their relation with me to war. They attack, then they immediately set their relation with me to neutral. I don't think that this should be allowed. It's really not realistic...

My suggestion is this.

If a person sets his/her relation with you to War, then that person should not be able to change the relation with you unless both parties agree.

Example: <insert name> has set their relation with you to War. They want to change it to neutral, so you get a mail saying ... " <insert name> wants to negotiate a neutral relationship with you. Do you wish to negotiate? [YES] [NO]"

People should just be able to set their relation with somebody else to war ... since war is usually unexpected.

But, if somebody wants to 'upgrade' a relationship to Neutral or Peace, then I think both parties need to agree ...

Example: <insert name> wishes to negotiate a peaceful relationship with you. Do you wish to negotiate? [YES] [NO]

Thanx for takin' the time to read this. I hope it inspires some ideas..

i totally agree!!!

this is the best suggestion i have heard in ages, or at least of the ones i've read...

[Spykie]

Agreed!

[Elemental_FIRE]

That is a great idea!

aggread... but I also think that for the benifits of war (ex: all the naq stolen when attacked) both sides need to declare war. That will stop the "I'll declare war with you just to get your NAQ." ideas

[IcER]

I disagree with that last post (sorry xcrunnerme06). It makes sense for both sides to have to agree to imporve relations War -> Neutral -> Peace. But I think if one side degrades the relations then it automatically degrades for both players, but both agree otherwise. Thats how it works in the real world anyway.

yes... but usually you see the enemy comming... Here, you could be logged off, and still have everything taken from you. You get on to see that someone you trusted (or someone you don't even know) is jumping ranks by doing just that. I hate to do this, but my officer did this. His war page is 30 Pages long... He jumped from A rank around 950, and he jumped into the 350's... anything that allows someone to do that with just a hundred attack turns needs to be strictly concidered.

okay say that your farming some guy. You declare war on him and steal his naq every time it accumulates to 2 mil. Why would you undeclare war every time? Its easier just to make them your enemy and keep them their to keep track of all your farms in ONE page. Whoever uses the stategy of declaring war and undeclaring is a moron.

why so people cant keep track of farms?

[xcrunnermr06]

why farm to begin with... in an essance, your taking advantage of the game. I think those that farm are **Filtered**.. They know that the people they farm can't hit them back

[NightWolf]

I appreciate all of your ideas and comments when it comes to this topic, but please don't change the subject. This is about relations, not about 'farming'.

Thank-you.

We did stay on topic... part of farming is finding someone with a s**t load of naq, declairing war with them, and taking all of their naq.

I use the declare war trick, however I would like to see it changed to 1 day before anything takes effect.

[Owen]

why should war have to be 2 way if currently you declare total peace with someone you and your officers can't touch them even if theyare able to attack you before their commander sets relations to total peace also

Hey, that's actually a good plan.

God to first prime: prepare the fleet for WAR.
First prime: Yes my lord, the fleet will be ready in 24 hours.

It makes sense.
