i did try the search....but nuff said bout that


when you are at treaty, are you allowed to drop units inside a bases area,then declare war(so the aerospace basicly dosnt stop you from dropping). for various reasons i cant test this atm
and if game rules physically prohibit this,would it be to lame to use something that allowed you to drop anyhow?all theoretically of course

When in Treaty or Pact with a faction, any unit you have in their territory will automatically transfer back to the nearest of your bases the moment you declare war on them. It's a game feature.

Only when in a Pact.

You cannot drop inside the AC radius of a treatymate but you can with a pactmate. Ending a treaty has no effect on your units. The second you try to attack a pactmate, all your units are removed from their territory.

So there is really no way to use a "good" diplomatic status to attack in a way that you could not otherwise. It actually works reasonably well.

ok,good

If you have "Confirm Odds" on, you can send a needlejet to a treatied player's unit outside a base, initiate an attack to draw out an interceptor, cancel the attack to preserve the treaty, and then attack the undefended base normally.

Interesting.

Just speaking about setting your units so that they can act during an opponents turn, how do you set your artillery units to do counter-battery fire when an enemy artillery fires during and enemies turn?

I have not experienced that but it may have simply been that I have never made my first attack when breaking a treaty on a base with an interceptor. I don't use interceptors a lot myself since I don't like the way that they scramble and prefer an AA and AC for base defense

Nothing AFAIK-- I believe it is automatic if your arty is in range
