Yeah it seems nice, good for new map makers to learn (seriously, I learned by opening a lot maps and studying the triggers... *shy*). It's also faster for some people (lol me), juste copy pasting and TADAM!
Didn't saw triggers but seems nice!

Feedback/Idea

Pretty good, but this might be better put as a Tutorial, but then again this way is good too because it can be used and classified as a system, and yes as you said easier for the lazy people. Overall its ok (3/5), and i agree with TheBlooddancer about the "if I attack you, I auto declare war!" system would be a good idea, maybe mix your system with that and the -ally blue thing intergrated as well would be overall (more likey) one of the best allying systems around, hmm, maybe if you don't want to take the time to do such a system, I might do it myself and post it. Its not too difficult at all i've already done it once for one of my maps.

And Hey if you need help doing so, PM me, i'd be happy to help! :thumbs_up:

  • Automat War 2
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Is attacked
    • Conditions
      • (Owner of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue)
    • Actions
      • Player - Make Player 1 (Red) treat Player 2 (Blue) as an Enemy
      • Player - Make Player 2 (Blue) treat Player 1 (Red) as an Enemy
Could be optimized to be:
  • Automat War 2
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Is attacked
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Player - Make (Owner of (Attacked unit)) treat (Owner of (Attacking unit)) as an Enemy
      • Player - Make (Owner of (Attacking unit)) treat (Owner of (Attacked unit)) as an Enemy
      • Wait 20.0 seconds
      • Player - Make (Owner of (Attacked unit)) treat (Owner of (Attacking unit)) as an Neutral
      • Player - Make (Owner of (Attacking unit)) treat (Owner of (Attacked unit)) as an Neutral
Pretty much easier.

(The wait is for 'peace' if you havent been attacked in 20 seconds)

nevermind someone else answered that ^

but in the trigger set-up it is disabled because of the last 2 events-

-Add to ally the event (player- <blah blah blah>)
--Add to War the event (player- <blah blah blah>)

is this supposed to be disabled?

Well, this has many lacks, I'm working on an ally system that fixes those lacks:

  • You should only make auto-war if a player is attacked by a player that didn't ally him
  • You should give a feature to forbid declaring war on initial allies
  • You should support multiple color names (like grey and gray)
  • You should ensure that the ally-war messages are correct. It means 'declare war on sb/sth.' and not 'declare war with sb./sth.'. Also 'allied' sounds far better than 'declared an alliance with', since 'declared an alliance with' is not correct
  • You should give users a possibility to forbid partial alliances. So if player a wants to ally player b and writes '-ally #', then player b should get a request in form of a dialog and they ally each other if player b accepts the request. When a player declares war on another player, the other player declares war on player a.
  • You should forbid the player who allied another player for X seconds to declare war on him when he allied him ==> Reduces abuse of allying like finding out the others position.
  • You should also allow the command -unally
  • You should display the player names colored
  • You should add error messages (Already allied bla, cant ally yourself, have to wait, initial ally etc.)

Fullfill all features I listed and I'll give 5/5.
Until then my rating is 2/5
