Default Re: Invisible Swarm 2 - recruiting

I have uploaded. Only waiting on Arcos, Pythium and T'ien C'hi!

Here's my interpretation of the house rule, just to avoid any misunderstandings Please correct any mistakes, I'm assuming the form is the same as the popular loose Non-Agression Pact that doesn't constrain anything but open and direct warlike acts. (As opposed to stricter NAPs that define borders or that include implied agreements to not bottle someone in et cetera.)

The Pantokrator's decree forbids any open warfare, that is, giving movement orders to provinces that are currently held by some other nation or sending in troops via magic. It does not, however, prevent cunning plans like attacking a province that you estimate (or even know from their own admission) someone else will attack the same turn. Attacking, say, some nation's castle that's surrounded by indep barbarians or knights wouldn't be following the spirit of the agreement, though. Provinces that were previously owned by another nation but subsequently lost to indies are technically fair game. All sneaky ways of causing harm are allowed. To name a few examples: inciting riots with spies, casting anonymous hurtful spells or putting up harmful globals (although there's little chance of those within the first 10 turns anyway), intentionally sending poor-stealth armies through patrolled provinces. This enforced peace lasts for 10 order-cycles: that is, you can input orders that do not abide the Pantokrator's decree from turn 11 onwards.
