+Discussing and making deals in MARIA.

+<h2>
+The following definitions should be used in diplomatic talks and deals:
+</h2>
+
+<dl>
+<dt>
+No aggression:
+<dd>
+Between the deal partners, there will be
+<ul>
+<li>
+no combat (see below); and
+<li>
+no elimination of supply trains; and
+<li>
+no conquest of fortresses; and
+<li>
+no blocking of supply paths; and
+<li>
+no hussars use.
+</ul>
+<dt>
+No combat:
+<dd>
+The deal partners will not move their generals into a position where a combat
+would result with the deal partner.
+<dt>
+No hussars:
+<dd>
+Austria will not use hussars against the deal partner.
+<dt>
+No protection:
+<dd>
+The deal partner X will not protect the stated fortresss(es).
+<dt>
+Core-Austria:
+<dd>
+Austrian territitories on the Bohemia map.
+<dt>
+Abbreviation of powers:
+<dd>
+A=Austria; F=France; Pr=Prussia; PA=Pragmatic Army; Bav=Bavaria; Sax=Saxony
+<dt>
+Other abbreviations:
+<dd>
+TC=Tactical Card; PC=Political Card; PD=Political Display
+</dl>
+
+<h2>
+General concepts:
+</h2>
+
+<ul>
+<li>
+Be precise with your language!
+<li>
+A deal should ALWAYS have a duration.
+<li>
+If something is not mentioned in the deal, it is not part of the deal.
+For instance: No aggression between F & PA on the Flanders map would allow F to conquer A controlled fortresses
+(but not jointly controlled electoral fortresses).
+<li>
+You can always make exceptions, for instance you could say:
+<ul>
+<li>
+No aggression between A and Pr, but Pr may conquer the currently A controlled
+Breslau, or
+<li>
+No aggression between F and A on the Flanders map; or
+<li>
+No agression between F and A, but A may use Hussars against F.
+<li>
+No agression between F & Bav and A, but A may use Hussars against F (but not
+against Bav).
+</ul>
+<li>
+<b><i>No deal can ever violate an inherent game rule.</i></b>
+For instance, if the deal is: A will not
+protect Breslau, and an Austrian general has to retreat, and the only option will end up
+in a position where Breslau is protected, then the game rules prevail (and the deal must
+be violated).
+</ul>
