Goal driven diplomacy

So as slowing/speeding growth. I like your idea. You need one parameter - Respect. This parameter influence decision of you and AI. It's comprehension of your might and friendship.

What do yoy think?

The underlying dynamics of respect / friendship are a side story.
Main goal here is that you have goal you want to achieve and other empires will fight agains those goal or assist you with them.

For example you are Lumeris and Sophons goal is to exterminate Cravers.

You might assist this if the Cravers are a danger to you or oppose it if the Sophons are a bigger danger.
Your actions can change over the course of war but changing your alliance always has political consequences.

Nice idea! Can we combine our ideas and realise it to make Amplitude studious see this?)

From what I see those are separate ones.
I don't have much hope of this being implemented as it would be a great redesign of current framework.
But still I think it would be worth it ;)
