You have to be explicit when asking for agreements between nations; if you are not, I think it's best to expect the lowest common denominator... as an example:

Jotun sends his in-game war declaration on turn 20, you recieve it turn 21, you quickly send bribes turn 21, he recieves them turn 22, he sends attack orders and owns your province by turn 23. 23-20=3... Sounds like three turns' notice, though obviously he is at the advantage. Too short a time? Extend it to 6 turns.

Thing is, breaking it down further would be cumbersome, considering you may have to make several NAP's during a game. I'll give you a little template if you like on what I've seen work:

Greetings from Tartarus:

We would like to assure the stability of our current borders by forming a Non-Aggression Pact between our nations, during which we do not attack the other without three turns' prior notice. Unless extended, this agreement will expire on Turn 30. We will send information on ordered attacks on provinces that may conflict with your attacks, and hope that you will do the same so we can avoid accidental conflict.

Turn issue: I think I figured out a better way to word it. IMHO this is an important issue for everyone to be on the same page, as the difference between the two is huge.

Situation: 3 Turn Notification required to take any hostile action. It is turn 20.

1) Player takes his first province on turn 22.
2) Player takes his first province on turn 23.

Situation: 8 Turn Notification required to take any hostile action. It is turn 23.

1) Player A takes his frist province on turn 30.
2) Player B takes his first province on turn 31.


Player A attacks on the 3rd turn.
Player B attacks after 3 complete turns have passed.

Mork, thanks for the template, but seeking help was not my aim. I am confortable forming agreements with my neighboors now that I know everyone views it a little differently.
