Strategic Diplomacy

When to Ally

  • Shared enemy - United against a common threat
  • Trade partners - Beneficial resource exchange
  • Protection - Smaller factions can ally with larger ones
  • Geography - Neighboring factions benefit from non-aggression

When to Declare Enemy

  • Territory disputes - They're blocking your expansion
  • Revenge - They attacked you or your allies
  • Competition - Racing for the same resources
  • Preparing to overclaim - You need enemy status first

Diplomatic Tips

  1. Don't overextend - Too many allies means too many wars
  2. Honor agreements - Reputation matters
  3. Strategic neutrality - Sometimes it's best to stay out
  4. Check power levels - Don't enemy a faction you can't defeat
