Players beware, the big electron will judge you if you peek!

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?

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.

Saving this post for any future issues.

Things i ponder while awaiting starting screenshots/snake pick.

Thanks TBS!

Im hopeful that SIP doesnt orphan a seafood to the north east..

I got stuck with being 14/16th for the snake pick. That is god damn awful. Everything decent will be taken, and as such im going to hope for something that i can use in the early game to grab some land. Initial thoughts before i found out my snake pick order.. was either Boudicca or Rome if i got near the top. I havent gotten a chance to try out Rome with its stupidly powerful praetorians. Civs other than rome id go for include- America, Native America, Sumeria, Aztec. Im willing to bet that most of those will be taken. At least the fun ones..

[superdeath]

Hmm.. come on... Let boudicca get to me!

[superdeath]

YESSSSSSS

[superdeath]

Maybe i can get America on the return trip? My intentions will be out there a mile away... but there wont be much someone can do to stop me..right? >

Well. I got America, so double grain + crabs and a butt-ton of hills = i hope im not alone on this island. If i am, its not so bad either. Discounts from AGG + CHA happy makes me an ok civ who can go straight mining-BW. Also, i havent done any testing.. but AGG/CHA america can make 3 promo melee with just a rax, and 4 promo with a settled GG? Or is it more than that.. Bah, now i gotta go check.
