truce

[Dimwit Donald (very high IQ)]

I'm at the point where I'm supposed to negotiate a truce for the jarl in Whiterun. But I still want to do the civil war questline afterwards, which I haven't even started yet. Is there a problem with that?

Not unless you start the civil war before you complete the main quest.
If you get to the point you need to do the truce don't start the civil war until after you defeat alduin permanently...

Likewise if you start the civil war before you need a truce, finish it otherwise you can get complications.

But if you keep the civil war and the negotiating a truce completely separate there are no problems.

What if I had started the civil war quest already? Would everyone just shake hands and live happily ever after or what?

Just finish the main questline and leave the civil war until after you finish it.
The only bugs come from trying to do both at once.
