Diplomacy Bug? (Not a bug; but a strategy)

January 24, 2018 12:46:52 AM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

The Altarian leader just now told me to stop trading with a civilization that they are enemies with.

 

Bu'bu, wait a minute, dear blue lady...YOU are the only one I'm trading with.  Are  you at war with yourself?

Look at the bottom half of the trade screen. Her enemy might be trading with you (they initiated the trade route).

Oh, I see.  An interesting conundrum, as it would be in real life.  I will look at that next time.

 

But what could I do to satisfy her?  Declare war on her enemy?

You could cancel the route.

Well, damn.  I didn't know that.  A new strategy.  I wonder how long that would take to impact Blue Lady's sentiment.  I'll keep that in mind the next time it comes up; thanks!

I always do what admitalWillyWilber said, and cancel the route. It seems like you should only trade within your ideology (unless you're looking for a fight). But curious as to what other players do.

Which is worse, cancelling the route or trading with the enemy?

I think it depends on the totality of your idealogy and other factors that make another civilization love you, tolerate you, or hate you.
