Conquests Editor question - Locked Alliances

[sela1s1son]

By hilighling an alliance in the 'at war' with section, that means they start at war, right? IF not highlighted are they forced into peace for the rest of the game?

 

[Gobi Bear]

No, they won't be forced to be at peace. If you aren't locked at war, then normal Civ3 diplomacy will take place between the civilizations involved.

Thanks!

I just tried a locked alliance scenario for a bit and it's basically locked mutual protection. If the civ you are allied with gets attacked on their land, you get dragged into the war. Likewise, when they sign a peace treaty, you automatically sign one too.

Hmm, is it possible for 1 nation to be at permanent war with everyone else in the game, without everyone else being forced into a permanent alliance, but rather they have normal diplomatic relations with each other?

 

[sela1s1son]

Cyber: Yes, with what I've heard now, with up to four civs you could

 

[CyberChrist]

You mean with up to 4 civs max total playing or up to 4 civs independently being at war with everyone and the rest (up to 27 others) having independent relations with each other? Because I was hoping for it being possible with 31 civs total (I want to make 1 civ Barbarian to have real barbarian cities - for scenario)

EDIT: typo

Here's the locked alliance screen from scenario editor:

Hmm, doesn't seem like it is possible to do what I wanted to do
