I'm thinking more like there's an invasion of Dwarfs attacking an Orc village. Bob and Jim can be on either side, since they both have orc and dwarf faction. So if Bob attacks Jim, does that mean he's helping the orcs fight the dwarfs or helping the dwarfs fight the orcs? How do you treat this situation?
Even declaring doesn't help, unless declaring also blocks friendly fire (which I don't want to do). Jim and Bob have both declared that they are for the orcs. Jim attacks Bob right in the middle of Orctown -- what happens?
Maybe that's where "friendly fire" rules come in. Jim attacks Bob. Since this was an attack against a declared friend, this causes Jim's Orc faction to temporarily drop to 0. Bob can now fire back and any Orcs in the area will treat Jim as a hostile.
So if Jim wants to kill Bob in peace, he needs to do it where the Orcs can't see it.
