A question on some diplomatic super abilities and player interaction

from GalCiv2 Forums
Do some abilities work on players? For instance, if you're the Iconians and the Altarians are attacked, are you affected in any way? The Super Dominator ability also says that it makes extorting money from others easier, but it isn't any harder to hit 'Reject' with Lord Kona's face on the screen (though he does demand more money than anyone else).

I've had a window pop up that invited me to join the war against their opponents,I think it was related to their Super Organizer ability.

Somewhat related, the best interaction I've seen so far was when I "sneaked" a transport up to a Krynn world. I wasn't intending to attack, just had it there in case their enemies decimated its defenders. The Krynn leader popped up a screen, "You must have mistaken me for . . . .". I won't give it away, but I burst out laughing and nodded, "yup, busted . . . ." (kudos to the devs)

Oh, so that's how it works. You could just say no, though, correct?

I did.

Personally, I haven't seen any AI diplomatic abilities where it took away your option to refuse.

The way the ability works for the Super Dominator is really good, because throughout most of the game(until you reach the top 30% defense and weapons techs), you really don't want to risk war with them. That was a good idea, even great.
But the Super Organizer for the AI is a bit weakish. Works good if you attack them, but that's about it. Maybe a boycott effect could be a good punishment? So all the races that side with the SO will terminate any treaties, alliances and trade routes with the race that declined to side with the SO.

If you refuse... and still end up going to war... that's what we call a bug.

Report it. lol.

I'd like to see more out of Super Organizer and Super Spy, personally. They feel weak.
