What's ceasefire? Does it mean peace or war. What exactly does it affect in the game?
From my knowledge, it's basically the equivalent of trade embargo but with a different name. If another nation attacks you while you have this relation with them, it will switch to war.Claudio NVKP wrote:

How is it different?
It only has a different name.Claudio NVKP wrote:

As I understand it, cease fire allows current battles to stop without ending the war. Generally if I attack someone I do so with the intent to conquer them or to help a coalition partner. I rarely find it useful, but did try it in one very memorable game. However, the fighting didn't stop, so I'm not sure if it was a bug or if I misunderstood.
It was the second game I played and I'm convinced what was a heavy gold user attacked me. After fending off a pretty massive wave of poorly planned attacks, I offered a ceasefire and an offer to partner with him. Because the fighting continued, I think he got even angrier and was willing to spend even more gold to overrun me. The losses I inflicted on him was fairly epic.
I was playing as Finland and was conquering Sweden with a land attack and had subs in the sea on the other side. UK sent infantry supported by three battleships to take the final two cities and attacked Germany (my coalition partner) at the same time. I sunk his battleships with my subs as well as a large number of convoys trying to land. I offered him a ceasefire, but my subs couldn't disengage with his land units that were trying to disembark. He then sent in a large stack of destroyers which I promptly sunk with bombers. For a third wave he sent in separate large stacks of destroyers, subs, and battleships instead of integrating them into mixed stacks. I again inflicted fairly epic losses by sending my subs against his battleships and bombers against his destroyers, but I started to take casualties. The next day I started to see his fourth wave, and concluded he was willing to drop quite a lot of gold to take me out. I figured even the Spartans at Thermopylae lost on the third day. At this point, it was around day four or five of the round and I had sunk 7 of his battleships, 8 cruisers, 8 destroyers, and at least 7 ground units I sunk as a convoy. I started to pull back so my ground troops would at least get the home terrain bonus.

No, you can't win them all and I certainly didn't win that round.Donk2.0 wrote:

Correct, It allows both sides to stop hostilities to stop the units from fighting and for both parties to retreat their troops. But they would still be at war if another battle starts afterwards.6thDragon wrote:
