Treaties. "peace" and victory conditions

[justjake73]

I have been in contact with a race for 10 game years. Our relations are "warm" yet they refuse every single treaty I propose. We are not at war but have no "peace" treaty either. I set the "victory conditions" to be 3 years of peace applicable after 30 years game time. The date is 2414, but the "conditions met" board still says it's 30 years until my victory conditions can start to take effect!! Huh?!

"30 years until conditions can be met"
-this probably never changes. it means when the date hits 2430.0, then conditions will activate.

Is that the only race in the game?
"None" treaties, and races you haven't met do not count as at peace.
Because of this, I never bother using a "only after x years" condition when I have the peace victory enabled.

PS, 30 years is 300 game turns, just so you know. You'll be playing a long time.

I want to play a long time! I want to be able to build a Ringworld then maybe a Sphereworld. Then I'll start building troopships, invade enemy territory in five places at once and have a great big slugfest!!

I'm just saying that "peace for x years" never means a short game.

Every race has to meet and be allied with every other race.

Making peace with every AI is tough enough, but then you have to get all the AIs to make peace with each other too.

Eventually, you just have to declare war on the violent species and wipe them out for your AI friends.

The "does not apply for x years" has effectively no effect on an allied victory game.
