The pressure feature has been reworked, to offer a more transparent and clear interface, so players can better see how it is affecting their relationships with neighboring empires. The first player to control three systems on a constellation will “own” this constellation, granting specific resource bonuses and showing everyone who’s boss around here.
Triggered by specific events (such as trespassing, nearby colonization, …), players will use diplomatic dialog over several turns, where both factions will have choices to make.
Players and AI empires now have access to a tool to solve conflictual situations through diplomacy. You can now react to your allies’ decisions, leave the alliance in case of a declared war, or strengthen your bond with your allies, allowing you to benefit from faction-specific bonuses. New options are now available when players make alliances with other factions.
For those who favor the subtle art of negotiation rather than brutal bloodshed, the game now offers new diplomatic means for faction leaders to solve conflictual situations, making collaboration more rewarding and accessible than ever. The Galactic Statecraft Free Update offers plenty of new options to interact and collaborate with other major players, as well as a series of new features and game improvements.
