Sorry, I want to comment on something I haven't seen:

Maybe you run into problems here, because the first player get caught,
he cannot accept the treaty, and cannot see why. Maybe you should mark
that treaty clause with the word "(unacceptable)" (on first player's
side
only) I know from my own experience how stupid players can be ;)

If I'm wrong, just ignore my post.
