Just a few questions about Diplomacy.
1. How do you make someone like you? Give them things for free? Accept their trade proposals? I dont quite understand this part since there is no real way to see if you are making progress with a race when you do something.
2. What effects an opponent's surrender? What I mean is..when someone surrenders..what makes them give their remaining planets to one race or another? is it based on who they like.. or something else?
3. This isnt QUITE a diplomacy question..but how do you see more of the map..short of lots of starbases and ships with lots of sensors? Can I research something that reveals the whole map? Can I reveal all my opponents planets and ships through spying?
Any help would be appreciated.. im trying to figure out which "route" i like to take in games... economy, research, military, influence, or diplomacy... and I find that I dont really understand the diplomacy aspect of the game.
