Stupid Question

Hi, I've been through the manual, and scoured the UI, but I could not find a way to make peace with an AI empire.

I assume it's the "Treaty of Peace" type treaty, but I can't send it without selecting some conditions... none of which seem to be "End the war".

Anyone care to help me out?

Any treaty ends the war. That is if you can get the AI to accept it, which I have never observed.

The name of the treaty doesn't matter. Just select one or more conditions and send it.

Well, any treaty that includes a cessation of hostilities clause.

There's no reason you can't sign a treaty that lets you keep shooting on sight.

Thanks for all the replies. Yeah I kept sending offers to the AI and nothing was accepted. Seems once you enter a war it's a battle to the death.

Hopefully this gets a tune up after the major bugs/issues are taken care of.

Another stupid question:

Do you know the use of the picture files Pictures/Effects/Damage_xx.bmp ?
I haven't seen any reference to them anywhere...

Thanks

Those are probably animation sprites for combats. Explosions, laserbeams, projectiles, etc.

Depends on the sort of peace you want ... you can ask to colonize in their space, or not to combat in neutral space, or to aid each other against another attack. The funny thing is, none of those examples are mutually exclusive or inclusive. There is a lot of subtle dimension to treaties in SE5 ... too bad, like Slick says, the AI often doesn't accept anything.
