What will your nation offer—and what will it ask in return? In Ashwind Chronicle’s treaty screen, exports and imports take shape as separate resource cards beside the diplomatic terms. This snapshot follows that small UI detail in the actual Debug build, and shows why editing a promise is not the same as sending it. DEVELOPMENT SNAPSHOT #44
Treaty talks begin with two different questions: what are you willing to offer, and what do you want in return? Ashwind Chronicle gives trade its own Export and Import spaces, where resources can be arranged as cards and reviewed as part of the proposal.
In this empty example, the two directions occupy separate columns, with distinct places to add cards. That separation makes the shape of a bargain easy to read at a glance. What can your nation send across the border—and what would make the exchange worthwhile?
Once a resource is added, its card shows the resource and its quantity, along with the relevant amount conditions. In this Debug scenario, we placed a Food card to inspect how its quantity, shortage handling, and unlimited option appear together. The values shown are test-scenario examples, not default starting values or a statement of final game balance.
The resource picker is organized to keep a growing list manageable: currency appears as its own item first, followed by resources grouped into categories that can be expanded or collapsed. The goal is to make detailed selections without losing sight of the overall negotiation.
Trade cards sit alongside the treaty’s other terms. In the Debug screen, technology-document offer and request boxes can also be viewed in the military terms area, letting us compare a material exchange with a knowledge exchange in one diplomatic workspace. What goes into a treaty gives the relationship its own distinct shape.
One important distinction: adding or editing cards is not the same as sending a proposal. Arranging terms does not itself send them to the other nation or save the game; the proposal is sent through the negotiation action after the terms are ready. This snapshot describes the current screen and adopted behavior—it does not claim that every diplomatic feature or automatic trade system is finished.
Our previous snapshot looked inward at two research tracks and the choices that shape a nation at home. This one turns outward, toward what it might offer beyond its borders. Read about the two research tracks here: https://www.happa.bz/article.php?stor...-tracks_en
