#5 I think the tradition is that once it is settled the occupying army is leaving, the cooperating tribe take what tribute and graft they have rabbited and as quickly as possible attempt to purchase a peace with the opposition tribe and form a combined front against the occupying force. The idea is that the coop has to say wow we were wrong about them and the oppo survivors get paid and get to say we were right. Both team up, the coop being rested and equipped and the oppo being battle tested.

They then both hit the occupying forces as they withdraw - withdrawal for whatever reason - to cause as much damage and luahu snakbars as possible, and claim victory over the invaders.

Peace lasts until one side claims too much victory points then they scrap it out among themselves.
