This is not an area to debate the pros and cons of proposed features. It is an area for people to suggest new features for either TW or TWGS. I will either add the proposed feature to my planned features list, or explain my reasons for passing on the feature at this time. Features added to the list can be voted on so I can gauge people's interest.

Thanks for the input, Kaus. It seems like this should be pretty easy, but there are so many different expectations, partly because there are a number of "home grown" truce games out there. At some point, I probably do just need to create a basic set of rules and experiment/build from there. I'm really chomping at the bit to put some focus on this feature, but as Vid said, my priority right now is to get to a stable release and hold with that until I have more time to devote to the game. At that time, I'll want to assess whether truce belongs in TWv3 or I should just go ahead and fork the game to TWv4 and limit myself to bug fixes in TWv3.


Np, When you decide to impliment the feature I'll be happy to be that mean spirited player who breaks the rules, build's basic script's to SD players in unique ways, for testing purposes of course ;-)

Sounds good. I look forward to constantly revising this feature for the next 10 years ;)

Maybe this was already discussed and if so sorry in advance.
Would not the easy way to make a truce mode simply be to make it so you couldn't us any offensive weapons for x amount of days?

It's definitely one way to look at it. What complicates things is the fact that there are a number of popular truce modes out there, and I'd like to support those variations so that others can use them as well.
