Oh my reading this, I'm sorry for complicating war declaration in that way. To be honest I did not thought about it when I implemented it.

I think this will still be very much worthwhile to add; AI diplo before seriously missed such as option, I think.  This is an experimental game, let's find out!

Though yeah, we should think this through and lay out rules before the game actually begins.  We still have a lot of time before the map is generated and the snake pick.

If I accept the declare war deal then surely my choice is to play my turn now (if it isn't a double move) or logout again and wait for my adversary to play before logging in to play (perhaps with a pm too let them know what happened).

Is there a scenario I've missed?

If you still need my vote:

Ancient Start, due to the DLL issues
Events: On, let's see what happens
AI diplo: On

But you should only tell the player that the DoW came via diplo. You should not tell them who bought you in.

I think the scenario I missed was when player A offers player B a war vs C for war vs C trade. Then the declaration comes when B accepts.

At this point I think:
- B should PM A to say they accepted
- B should PM C to say they've declared war and what the turn split is
- A should PM C to say they've declared war and what the turn split is

B probably shouldn't say they got bought into the war, that'll be fairly obvious anyway.

My original post was about B being bought into an existing war (or very rarely being asked to attack someone A isn't at war with). That seems pretty straightforward:
- B should PM C to say they've declared war and what the turn split is

I don't have a strong opinion on if B should PM A to say they've accepted, it's only an issue if A gets a peace offer from C and their acceptance depends on what B is doing. But you can find that out by pressing F4 anyway.

Which brings me to what is probably going to be the easiest rule of thumb: The offer to declare war must be treated by the player sending it as an actual declaration of war, and can only be sent at a time it would be legal to declare war.

Does this cover all of the war declaration stuff? Nothing else in the AI Diplo option affects turn splits.

So are we waiting on anything to start the long long snake pick process?

The map, I thought.

Or did you want to try a snake pick blind to start position?

[Krill]

If we accept the above proposed rules (which I think we should unless.anyone can find holes in them) then we are waiting on screenshots and snake pick your order.

[The Black Sword]

I won't get to the map till the weekend. I'd be thinking of a Monday timeframe if you're looking for screenshots.
