DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS
(CONT.)
Finally, there will come a time when one empire recognizes its
superior position and will attempt to eliminate all weaker competitors
to win the game. At this time no amount of tribute will prevent
the enemy from attacking.
Declarations of War: Once war has been declared,
the enemy withdraws their ambassadors and existing treaties and
trade agreements are broken. Until relations stabilize, the ambassadors
will not return to even talk over peace agreements. You can increase
your opponent’s willingness to sue for peace by successfully
attacking ships and destroying his colonies. On the other hand,
if they are succeeding, they will not be eager to discuss peace.
If neither side attacks for a while, relations will eventually stabilize,
ambassadors will return and be willing to negotiate for peace.
Starting Diplomatic Relations: When play begins,
each race starts with a diplomacy rating that reflects their suspicions
and prejudices concerning the other races in the game. Then, as
the game goes and the diplomacy ratings change, relations will always
gravitate back toward the starting diplomacy setting. Therefore,
if you wish to remain allied with another race, you must continually
perform positive diplomatic actions. The table below shows the starting
diplomatic relations for each race. Note that the Humans in general
are the most favored, while everyone hates the Darloks.
