You will be able to see these new preview messages on '''testing''' islands when the next server update goes live. In battle reports, after the normal messages where each realm picks a side for the battle, there will be a new section that shows sides as they would have been picked under the proposed treaty system. This will enable realms to see how these treaties affect the behavior of their forces, and better understand the types of treaties they will need. | ||
