elsuper Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 It seems strange that by default I can trade with nations I'm at war with, and accept their market offers. It would make more sense to me if that weren't possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aisha Greyjoy Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I agree, trading with the enemy is akin to treason. It should embargo them by default, and unembargo them at peace. Quote Duke of House Greyjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellhound Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) I'd say no, just because there's nothing better than buying your enemies resources and then stealing your money back. Plus there's no game play reason I can think of would justify changing this, it's just a way to make it seem more "realistic" Edited October 28, 2014 by Shellhound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps have the option to cancel the auto-embargo while at war, if you want to steal like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George W. Bush Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 If there was an option to do this when starting the war, it would be nice. But if you have good micromanagement(and time), it isn't a problem. Quote You're no longer protecting the II? We have still teamed with II and TAC (and others) to rival The Covenants.

You'd of course have to remember to remove the embargo after the war, though. 1 Quote Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics? Ask About It | Got a good idea?

Grillick Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 The default setting is more important for the defender than the aggressor in war, though.

Simply having a checkbox does the attacked nation no good. That's true, although if you do it automatically for the defender, then what if they don't want the attacker embargoed?

Grillick Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I suppose it could be an option you could uncheck in your profile, if you want to make it more difficult on yourself. Alternatively, they could just remove the embargo when they log in. Quote "It's hard to be a team player when you're omnipotent." - Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grillick Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I think a reasonable default would be that you cannot trade with a nation you're at war with. But if you want to ask that question, then it sounds like you want a check box, which is also a reasonable solution.
