Is diplomacy functioning as intended right now or is there problems?



Because this whole score negative factor is kinda of annoying. You get negatives for getting too high and negatives for going lower than them too. It's just basically a negative for being the player.



Same with militaristic strength. You get people hating you for being weak, and then they hate you for trying to build up your military. And the fact that trying to defend yourself from an invading faction and recapturing systems counts as 'expansion' for negatives.



And then there's the fact you have no way of suggesting diplomatic suggestions to people. YOu can suggest some sort of diplomatic agreement, but even if they'll offer it next turn, they'll say no.



It's both hilarious and frustrating.

I agree, diplomacy isn't very complete I think, it's just impossible to be friend with over than 1 empire.



My last experience:



I discover another empire, and the next turn, he hated me without any reason! And good luck trying to increase your relationship with them XD



Other problem, sometimes, we don't exactly know why the refuse exchanges (like technologies), not very explained.

There are confirmed problems. The AI is not interested in getting to know you in any way, they just act nice so they can stab you in the back later.

What i like the most it's when the enter in war with me, then I kick their asses and they come asking for a cease fire Then I turn into "AI player" and I just refuse!

Be careful when you are in a war though.. The AI can sometimes magically create fleet upon fleet out of thin air

I know, I was at war with everyone, but i was more powerfull than them, but in 5 turns two of them (both of them were Hissho) win 5 times their points, so I created a new party, without Hisshos, i think they're the only ones to do that.

Sure seemed like it in my previous game. I was stomping the Carvers, they were down to four worlds versus my twenty something worlds. And yet they still somehow managed to send fleets of dreadnaughts to defend themselves.

Indeed. Must be a failsafe in order to prevent the player from winning

Is it a Dev joke to make fun of us? ^^

Well, Diplomacy doesn't always bring you bad luck because of bad work on it.



I had 45%/45%/10% situation (Had 45% of territory and some bot had it too), because of careful expansion the bot didn't get pissed off. I always push the science fast and soon I got a nice alliance with this bot. Together we annahilated this 10% bot and then my "Ally" became angrier on me. What did I do? I just bought ALL of his systems for "Endless Empire" + some random tech. He was left with some fleets, homeworld and extatic people.



But I was just simply lucky he allowed me to ally him >_<
