I've been buddies with my neighboring Sophons for the whole game, and have seven active deals with them, the oldest started 72 turns ago. And they're friendly (+64), what with our past exchanges, open borders, cooperation agreement and so on.



The game is down to me, my Sophon buddies, and those dastardly UE guys that I've trounced down to one star system.



So I spend a few turns researching Vocation-Oriented Society, and then go into the diplomacy screen and propose alliance.



But it says deal refused, due to it containing a proposed alliance.



So am I doing something wrong, or missing a step or something, or is this tech not implemented yet?

maybe they need to like you a bit more, I honestly haven't gotten very far into the game yet, so by all means, ignore everything I say .

The Diplomacy system is, I think, still a bit out of sorts right now. I've never been able to propose a Ceasefire/Peace/Open Borders/Alliance/etc without it being rejected. I just sit and hope that any other empire that doesn't hate me will propose something before they, well, start to hate me. This will probably be fixed by the time we hit Beta.



That said, the few times I have had an alliance, the other race's opinion towards me was higher than "friendly." I want to say they were listed as "very close," or something like that, I can't remember the exact wording. This was sometime last week, and I haven't had anyone go above neutral since.

The diplomacy system is still under construction. The devs are tuning it at the moment. We'll see if this is resolved in the next release. Closed.
