Mines and treaties

[derb]

What if I am allied with someone for trade purposes but still want to build up minefields to keep him from invading. Is there any way to say "he's my friend but I still want my mines to attack"?

[Growltigga]

Derb, good question. I strongly suspect the answer is an absolute Niet as I hgave never been able to get the mines to attack allies

If any whizzo modda out there knows how to do this, I would like to know myself.

Nothing annoys me quite so much as the friendly imperium on my left blank being discourteous and sending colony ships into my space http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

Actually, if you set things up right (possibly using a scenario), then you can do that, even in an unmodded game.

Check out One Empire, Multiplayer (http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=23&t=004550&p=2) thread, which describes a way to split your empire into "War" and "Peace" factions.
