Artificially restricting diplomacy causes all sorts of problems. It was part of the goal of the New Treaty system that required treaty maintenance to keep them going. The more you had, the more maintenance work you had to do. What it leads to is a lot of "under the table" alliances and understandings. So, for example, Perdan and Westmoor may not be officially allied, but everyone knows that if you attack Perdan, Westmoor will help them kick your ass.

Plus, players *hate* artificial limitations like that.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

Yeah. That is why it is stupid to put limitations usually.

Sirion geography make for interesting holding position. From Fontan side, I only ever remember a raiding party sent to Sirion northern lands looting as we went and avoid the Sirion army sent to hunt us.

So in the meantime everyone want form their own alliances eh? Northern Alliance, Central Alliance, Southern Alliance. Then we all war again? Interesting ;D

Well, Caligus just lowered relations with Dunndera to peace. :)

Because I just fined Aiden. Aiden 'probably' went crying to his brother Dobromir.

Sirion's nigh-impenetrable core vs. Caligus' endless border. Probably going to be Nivemus/Sirion/Dunnera vs Caligus/Westmoor/Perdan. OI might join Caligus' side for a slice of Nivemus' regions (finally, a more stable foothold on the mainland), but the former-Ibladesh realms might want to strike back at Caligus/Perdan. Yes to Island-wide war!

Weird that Caligus want to war Dunnera, though they were gonna be their buffer against Sirion.

Well Dobromir's policy is if people do not listen to him, they deserve to be subdued or destroyed.

Actually that is how most people play.

Also, he thought Dunnera would be an extension of Caligus but when he realized it was going to be an independent realm, he wanted it dead. Doesn't like having a future threat near him. A smart decision indeed.

Sounds like Sirion with Nivemus.  Funny that.

More like Perdan and Westmoor I think. Nivemus is more independent than Westmoor.

Zakilevo, a big thank you to you. You know you make it a dream come true :P

For those on Dunnera side, it is called Independence War.
