A number of mechanics suggestions

Peace Option: May be workable, but IIRC as it was used before it was kind of what fort is now (or at least some aspects of it), or am I thinking of a different game. I thought back in the 20's we had a peace relations option.

Yes i'm refer to age 20 too when there Hostile was declared from kd A and after both kds fill meter war is started. Peace was used for prevent war. This was good way for defend.
There is big difference from Fort stance and new peace option. In fort stance when both kds fill meter both get option to declare war. Fort stance gave different bonuses and its affect all kds who hit in/out. Peace declare affect only 2 kds. What i want is to make not effective to feed on same kd for long. Its much more bigger problem for low rank kds from big kds. Same time in past was used Fwr. Its was very good way for protection when kd A don't have chance for war vs kd B. Now they can declare fort stance but its don't change much. After 3 days stance is gone and Aggressor can keep feed on you.

Declare peace is just new extra option. All rest stances stay. Monarch have choice how to play. If he want he can go in fort if he want he can declare peace if he want he can make retal war. Having more strategy choices is best.
