I have been at war almost non stop for the last 2 days. I keep making peace but within 2 turns they declare war again. A peace treaty should require that no war be declared for a set amount of turns afterwards. Otherwise there is no point in the treaty
Agreed. Peace treaties have no value unless they last for at least 10 turns.
There should be no hard limit on peace treaties but violating them should give significant diplomatic maluses to the civilization that breaks them. Furthermore, it should be possible to hold resources, ships, planets, starbases, etc. exchanged for a peace treaty in escrow for a certain number of turns, payable if the peace treaty remains honored after that many turns.
An idea we had for Treaties is give us some options for how long they last, with increasing penalties for breaking them. The shorter the treaty, the stiffer the penalties for breaking it early. Also, each time someone breaks a Treaty, the penalties become more severe. This will discourage breaking treaties and encourage players to honor their commitments. The AI of each race should also reflect their willingness to negotiate versus their despicable natures so that less honorable races or more aggressive races would be more likely to break a Treaty than an honorable race.
An examples: 1) Peace Treaty 10 turns - Stiff penalties to research, diplomacy and production and a large fine paid to the UP for breaking the Treaty commensurate with the size of the Empire that broke it. The larger the Empire the stiffer the penalty. 2) Peace Treaty 20 Turns - Reduced, but still very significant penalties to research, diplomacy and production and a slightly smaller fine. ect...
This is a major immersion killer for me. I don't want limits of any kind (backstabbing is a viable strategy) but something needs to be done.
The shorter the treaty, the stiffer the penalties for breaking it early.
Sounds like a great idea to me.
