colonization/treaty question |
My ally and I have a non-aggression treaty that does not allow colonization within one another's systems. What determines ownership of a system, if we both have colonies there. I don't seem to be able to colonize in systems that we both colonized under an earlier treaty that allowed inter-colonization.
Can I just "lay claim" to a system somehow, or do I have to have colonies there?
Thanks!

You are allowed to capture and occupy additional planets. That would allow you to capture planets from empires your at war/have no treaty in those systems.
Make sure those planets have defenses, the AI likes to break treaties and attack.

No. Generally planetary happiness only decreases when you're losing combats or have a non-native race without the presence of happiness boosters like troops or happiness facilities.
Re: colonization/treaty question
Whoever has a colony owns the system. If both players have a colony in a system before the treaty is signed, then both "own" the system so neither can add any more colonies.
