The section below describes these actions in detail.
Apart from trade, you might perform actions that will affect relations between empires.
Each option can be used once both races meet certain terms.
All the available diplomatic actions are listed below.
War
An open conflict is the most unpredictable action.
Before you declare war on another nation, plan your moves and objectives carefully.
You should gather as many resources and units as possible.
Garrisons ought to have defensive and offensive armies.
Your income will rapidly decrease and you will face a lot of enemies.
It is highly possible that your fleet will be destroyed before it actually reaches its objective.
You should engage in single battles concerning planets near your boarders.
If you leave such units without any protection, they probably will be eliminated by enemy fleet.
Once the war begins, you should check the diplomacy screen.
It’s divided into two parts.
On the left, you will see all the planets that are currently controlled by an empire.
The right side presents objectives that have been chosen by you.
You will pay less if you decide to liberate planets via diplomatic approach.
Each of them can choose different war objectives concerning your country.
The same goes for empires that have vassals.
A vassal will always send troops to support its sovereign.
You will keep all your planets.
He will also support you with troops if needed.
you’re free to become allies with other nations or ask other races to join existing alliances.
Just remember that declaring a war and leaving the commonwealth will not stop the conflict.
However, if there are any other alliances, all the involved nations will join the fight.
During this time one can decide upon commonwealth fleet and diplomacy of the entire commonwealth.
Not only will you expand your influence, but you also will avoid costs of development of primitive planets.
The protector will reduce the cost of discovered technologies by 50%.
Remember:it’s a very risky pact as you easily become a vassal of another empire.
you might protect other empires but try not to become the protected one.
On the other, hand all diplomatic actions, apart from war, will be unavailable.
Remember: rivalry is a useful tool if you are running out of influence points.
However, it will decrease your reputation, and thus prevent any alliances in the long run.
It’s unlikely that you will win war with several opponents at once.
