DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS

DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS

Diplomatic relations between players can be changed in the diplomacy menu. They change the way your nation and your armies interact with others.

Relations overview

There are a variety of diplomatic relations available, which can be granted to other nations in the diplomacy interface:

	War - Nations are hostile towards each other. Armies automatically attack armies or provinces of the other nation. Nations at war cannot buy each other's offers on the stock market. Nations at war are painted red on the map (in relations view mode) and have a visualized frontline.
	Cease fire - This relation is only available for nations with whom you are at war. This allows you to temporarily end automated attacks while still having the other nation marked as enemy on the map.
	Trade embargo - Both nations are at peace with each other but cannot buy each other’s offers on the stock market anymore.
	Peace - The default relationship at the beginning of the game. Nations at peace do not automatically attack each other and can buy each other’s offers on the stock market. However, nations at peace will trigger a war when trying to pass through the other’s provinces or armies on their territory. Nations at peace are painted grey-brown on the map (in relation view mode).
	Right of Way - Nations are allowed to pass through each other’s provinces and armies without triggering a war. Nations with Right of Way, Shared Map or Shared Intelligence relations are painted in green on the map (in relation view mode)
	Shared Map - Nations have an alliance with each other. They can pass through each other's territory, see each other’s provinces and armies and also see current productions and constructions in progress. They can speed-up these productions / constructions of their allies and also boost each other’s province morale (only possible with purchased gold)
	Shared Intelligence - Same as Shared map with the additional benefit of also seeing each other’s espionage information. Includes espionage reports on other nations as well as revealed foreign units inside the fog of war. This relation can only be granted by Members of the High Command (premium account).
