As the OP, I'm not certain where the question of rogues came in, that was not part of my inquiry, but I -am- satisfied with the level of response here.
Apologies for the aggressive tone but it's very frustrating to play something for over a decade and have it go against what was understood.
My understanding would naturally have been that "At War" would supercede everything else. Not that "in alliance" is the only way realms will fight alongside one another.
Caligus was "at Peace" with Highmarch.
Caligus was "at Alliance" with Redhaven.
Redhaven was "at Alliance" with Caligus.
Redhaven was "at Alliance" with Highmarch, I believe.
Redhaven, Caligus, and Highmarch were all "at War" with Vix Tiramora.
I would have expected Everyone "At War" with Vix Tiramora to band together to fight them.
If Caligus were "At Neutral" with Highmarch, I would have expected them to join with Highmarch to fight Vix Tiramora, or at least with Redhaven, their Allies.
Caligus does not officially trust Highmarch. Their stance is Neutrality, but now, they will be forced into an untrusting Alliance due to this code because they Do Intend to fight together, meaning they intend to continue fighting alongside their allies, Redhaven, Sirion etc. Not necessarily Highmarch.
