Forum - Space Odyssey MMORPG - a massive free online space game

I think that this has been raised before, but think it worthwhile airing it again......
 
 Truce's have an expiry period which can cause problems especially if the alliance leader/s are away for a day or more. So as an improvement (in my eyes anyway) how about to make an option of a truce that will last the whole round (on main).
 To add an extra dimension to this call it something slightly different (Treaty?).  Maybe the to obtain this, a conventional truce must be active for a period of time then Alliance leaders then will have the option to upgrade to a more permament version in the last 24 hours before expiry.
 
For wars server a treaty version could be used but have a longer duration than a truce, maybe having a different qualification period before the ability to upgrade it.

aka one for the simmers.. yay.

I quite like the idea and in reality truces and alliances is part of any space game. You make alliances and truces with commanders - that is pretty much normal.

My problem with truce and alliances in general though is that they don't mean much  :)
For example, one particular alliance (call them "A") I have been told has truces with pretty much every other alliance except for the league. However, when the league attacks the A "partners", A does nothing to help them. It seems that people join alliances to "prevent" them being attacked not because they truly want to develop a proper partnership.

Alliances should be proper alliances ie. If you want to be my "ally" then you have to help me fight my aggressors!

My two cents  :19:

Truces and alliance are different thing. Truce is just an agreement for suspended military hostilities which is usually for a fixed period of time.
