Truces

[downunder Inc]

rather new to CC and have a question on truces/alliances. I am playing many world 2.1 games with 8 players and in the beginning truces are ok. But now I am playing one where only 4 players are left and 2 players still keep their truce (started at the beginning) and just killing of me and the other player. Had this in a WWII Europe game as well, 3 people left and they together first killed me before breaking the truce.

I know truces are allowed, but why? People can play doubles games if they want to play together. With the truces i talked about my fun in the game is disappearing very quickly.

Looking for opinions.

If you want to not worry so much about truces play escallating games. Otherwise people will use them. If you hate escallating (as I do) playing with people who are newer to the game will usually result in less truces I think.

If you feel that you are outnumbered, make a truce with another player.

How are you a captain if you are rather new?

truces, no truces...should be an option like fog, no fog!

for me, so called "truces" already spoiled a lot of games.

War sucks. Alliances and truces happen.
