Treaty types
Treaty systems usually provide multiple relationship types with different strategic intent, such as coordination, mutual support, or limited diplomatic alignment. Specific effects depend on configured game rules, so always read the treaty’s declared terms in context.
Treaty value is not only mechanical. It also changes expectations between alliances and can influence strategic signaling.
Active vs ended (endTick)
A treaty is active when it is currently in force under rule conditions. It becomes ended when terminated or expired, often marked by an endTick that records when active status ceased.
endTick is useful for timeline analysis: it lets you align diplomatic changes with later outcomes. When investigating shifts in alliance behavior, check treaty status transitions first. If you need to verify whether benefits should still apply, use the treaty status and endTick value before drawing conclusions from indirect effects.
Treaty Web link
The Treaty Web view helps visualize alliance relationships and connection structure. Use it to understand network position, potential coordination clusters, and how treaty changes may alter broader diplomatic topology.
Treaty Web is most effective when combined with timeline reasoning: what was active before, what ended when, and what changed afterward. Use the same approach when reviewing alliance strategy after a conflict cycle. Diplomatic topology often explains behavior that looks irrational in isolated war logs.
