Hello, not sure if the dev team is aware of all this, but just in case they are not, the diplomacy system is almost completely broken in the game. And i mean the base game, i dont even own The awakening. Here are some of the diplomacy related bugs i have encountered in about 100hrs of play:

- Sometimes other empires threaten me and give me a hostile response when i gift them an entire solar system or resources.

- (as per above) Many times their messages do not correspond with the situation, e.g. the become happy with me for something, they say something menacing. Or they say something "friendly" when they should be upset. etc.

- Sometimes I get spammed by diplomatic messages, turn after turn i get either praised or threaten by the same faction. As well as being offfered deals (mostly trade) each and every turn.

- When at war, i am just about to completely anihalate another empire. They have only one planet left wich is under siege, no fleet, and i have planet killer ships in orbit. Yet if i offer a truce, they refuse. If the ask for one, they include conditions in wich I have to give them dust, strategic resources, etc. Otherwise they dont accept. Seriously?

- I cannot gift solar systems to other empires unless they are on an alliance with me. This is completely incoherent. What if (for example) i would want to give them the system as an offer for a truce? 

- AI sometimes declares war, then truce to me in the same turn.

- (not a bug scrictly speaking, bug a HUGE unbalance), The influence cost of treaties (science, trade, etc.) is just ridiculously high. It certainly does not correspond to the benefits of the trade deal itself.

- Spontaneous changes in diplomatic status with some empires after loading a save. e.g. i am at war with someone, i save the game, and quit. I load this saved game, and they immediately ask for truce (or viceversa).

This ones are just the ones i remember off the top of my head. 

Devs, the game you made is nothing short of AMAZING. The best 4X i have played. Yet all this problems with diplomacy make it feel like an early access game. Sure there are some other bugs in the game, but (imo) none are "game breaking". Except this problems with diplomacy. Ideally, i would like to see the diplomacy extended to have more options. But if we cant have that, can you at least fix the bugs on it please?

Thanks.

Second this. Some did no occur in my games. And some others did.

- offering trade/science agreement, when only turns later they are broken due to the costs.

- Saying something menacing when you give them something.

- Sometimes what the AI says doesn't concur with the message.

- AI offering Truce, when they have only bits of systems left, and then ask for large amounts of resources.

- Sometimes messages are double (or different) in one turn.
