Here GB surrendered to me unconditionally. I left my peace setting at the default (18 months).
Can anyone explain these two different peace settings?
Can each nation define how long a peace will last?

I think you have those backwards.ORIGINAL: AresMars
GSB,
The information displayed shows how long before YOU can declare war on another Major Power (MP) or they on you.
In the case you show above; it is 18 months before France can declare war on England, and 6 months before France can declare war on Austria.
England, on the other hand, has to wait 36 months before they can declare war on France! (Way to go with the unconditional surrender!)
Austria, only has 6 months left in its enforced peace with France, so keep your eyes on them in 6 months.....you see them on the border, the Dogs of War approach...AGAIN!
Hope this helps...

GSB,
If you surrendered to England as France, you should be ashamed! [;)]
Everything is possible but at least you have a better idea now....
You are correct, and so was he. My bad!ORIGINAL: Grapeshot Bob

I think he might be right, actually.
Are you sure?

So, if you are playing France, can we call you "Napster"?ORIGINAL: Grapeshot Bob
Sorry about the confusion.
AresMars is and always has been correct.
Jimmer actually has things backwards. If you read my posts above, I thanked you for the explanation then lower down I suggested to Jimmer that you were right.
On another note, there is no need to refer to me as GSB. GSB is a more formal reading of my forum name. Please feel free to use "Bob", "Grapeshot", "Grape" or even "Grapester".
Just don't call me "Crapaud". If you read the Sharpe series the Brits used it as an insult to the French. "Crapaud" means "Toad". The French called the Brits "Goddams", because of the way the Brits swore.
If anyone wants to read some well researched fiction about the Napoleonic wars from the British perspective I heartily recommend the Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell.
