+Discussing and making deals in MARIA. +

+ +

+The following definitions should be used in diplomatic talks and deals: +

+ +

+No aggression: +

+Between the deal partners, there will be +

+No combat: +

+The deal partners will not move their generals into a position where a combat +would result with the deal partner. +

+No hussars: +

+Austria will not use hussars against the deal partner. +

+No protection: +

+The deal partner X will not protect the stated fortresss(es). +

+Core-Austria: +

+Austrian territitories on the Bohemia map. +

+Abbreviation of powers: +

+A=Austria; F=France; Pr=Prussia; PA=Pragmatic Army; Bav=Bavaria; Sax=Saxony +

+Other abbreviations: +

+TC=Tactical Card; PC=Political Card; PD=Political Display +

+ +

+ +

+Be precise with your language! +
+A deal should ALWAYS have a duration. +
+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). +
+You can always make exceptions, for instance you could say: +
- +No aggression between A and Pr, but Pr may conquer the currently A controlled +Breslau, or +
- +No aggression between F and A on the Flanders map; or +
- +No agression between F and A, but A may use Hussars against F. +
- +No agression between F & Bav and A, but A may use Hussars against F (but not +against Bav). +
+
+No deal can ever violate an inherent game rule. +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). +
