What are you up to

from GalCiv2 Forums

I have noticed that at higher and even some lower intelligence levels the AI asks you why you are building military or influence starbases or moving attack ships into their territory. They say they noticed it and if nothing is done it could hinder relations. Is there a way for me to do that? The arceans are building influence starbases closer to earth than any of their other planets. I don't know how to stop it except to go to war with them. Can I ask like that too?

I mean closer to earth than any of their planets, and I'm the Terrans. Another message says, we know what you are up to when I move attack ships through one civ's territory that I am friendly with to get to another that I am at war with. Why is this?

Unfortunately I don’t think diplomacy allows you to issue warnings – maybe the fact that the AI warns you about your actions is simply the game trying to prove how clever it is (though it gets it wrong a lot of the time too).

It also gives players a clue as to how to build up aggro with an AI – there are situations where it’s better to be declared on, rather than do the declaring yourself and building star bases in or near their area of influence is one of the most effective ways to achieve this.

 

Anyway I haven’t seen the AI pursue an influence conquest strategy, so I suspect when they build such starbases it’s actually for defensive purposes. As such, unless one of my planets is at risk of flipping, I let the AI waste their resources this way.
