Most people will not simply meet your demands and just either attack, or don't give a **** about all the things you are talking about.

This is why I prefer nomading. I often set up a base, but pack up. I then have nothing to lose, as by the time raiders reach the position, I'll be gone. I also don't have to worry about farming and such because I tend to have a fast boat and eat natural resources. For example. I live on Magma, making a ton of steel for trading and spare weapondry. I see my hunger bar being 20. I then set eat the berries and set sail to Spring. By the time I eat all the carrots, it is 100. Its a peace treaty. Not a threat. They want this in place, they are not going to run away from it or fight against it. Don't like the idea of them doubting your about to rampage? Do it the other way round, with the rampage first and leaving them out, then coming with a peace treaty.

And I am also a nomad. I do likewise, (but I try far less, because I am rather lazy. I only work hard in a war, mostly just sailing around getting myself into trouble and doing stupid time consuming things), I just find it a way to get more profit from raids. Instead of looting a few pieces of junk they left lying on the floor, you get finished products that they would normally keep out of your reach in an inventory.

It isn't conventional slavery. It is a setting up a peace treaty where you get more stuff than if you were to kill them. It just means you get more from a server wide raid.
