Loaned Units and Allow Separate Peace

Post by DCWhitworth »

Could I make a plea for the Allow Separate Peace and Loaned Units aspects of the game to be revised please ? The reason is both these areas are highly prone to player error which can spoil a game. I want to win or lose in a fair fight, not because someone made an oversight.

I would suggest -

Allow Separate Peace check box should be checked by default NOT unchecked. I am SO fed up with allies breaking alliances accidentally, I've done it myself.

Loaned units should be capable of being unloaned. Currently if you accidentally loan a unit to the wrong ally you can't undo it. If this change was made the next change should be that loaned units STAY loaned until the loaner cancels the loan. If two allies are cooperating then it is likely they will want to loan units, if the campaign goes on for a while it is highly likely someone will forget to loan something important at some point.
Regards

I'm not opposed to this. Anybody else have a point?

Thank you

I'd also add two other allow separate peace buttons (1) "Allow Separate Informal (White) Peace" (2) Allow Conditional Separate Peace and (3) Allow Unconditional Separate Peace (which should always be permitted, as one can not refuse a US)

Didn't we have a HUGE thread about the separate peace issue not too long ago? It's a problem, that's for sure.

I'm in total agreement with David's suggestions. These are two places where the interface can cause very painful errors, which could be readily avoided with these ideas.
