Economic and Research Treaties

The recipient gains a bonus to income/research based on the amount the giver has in total. You can only give a treaty to one other race.

Is it two way, or one way?

If I make a treaty with a race (or a race makes a treaty with me), do both races get a mutual bonus?

It is one-way only.

how do you remove the treaty after it has been given?

Also, in my first game yesterday, I traded my treaties and a couple techs to the Altarians for: a couple techs, THEIR treaties, and 6 THOUSAND credits. This seems a bit out of whack.

What was your super ability? I use super diplomat, and wow. The AI bends over backwards for you even on High difficulty levels. I like it a lot.

how do you remove the treaty after it has been given?

You probably can't because these treaties are VERY valuable and you could re-use them over and over for insane trades (same for the AI too, I guess.)

The best is when you can bully your way into getting those treaties for nothing. (Like when you sign a peace treaty in a war you are winning)

I hadn't even looked for how to cancel your outgoing treaty. The whole one-way thing has me disoriented b/c it doesn't make sense with the word "treaty," at least in modern one-world-order terms. The things appear to be irrevocable (short of war?) tribute committments. And if they are that durable, they might indeed be a tad too easy to secure.

I'm playing with the Super Hive ability on Tough, but I still had no trouble getting almost all the econ and research treaties from my 9 AI competitors. I imagine the Super Diplomats can snag every treaty available shortly after meeting any given species.

Could someone from Stardock say something about why they are built as one-way things?

Economic and Research treaties can only be revoked by a declaration of war on or the death of the recipient.

The recipient gets a bonus, but the giver doesn't lose anything.
