[suggestion] Alliance Types?

from Sins Forums

We should have three different alliance types: trade, military and cultural.  Trade alliance allows an increase in trade profits and trade of economic boosting related research.  Military allows trade of defense and military researches.  Cultural alliance boosts weaker culture and trade of civil research.

I also would like to know how alliance work.  One scenario is that A is friend of B and B is friend of C; is A friend of C?  If A is not friend of C, can A help C through B?  Proxy war? 

Another scenarios is A is friend of B and D and B is friend of C but not D, is C friend of D?  What will happens if C and D go to war?  Can A and B offer diplomacy solution to the conflict?  What will happen if diplomacy does not work?  Will A and B, depending on your actions, become enemy?

A military alliance will allow one faction to trespasse on another's territory without it being an act of war. Economic alliances would allow feeding. I'm not sure what a cultural alliance would do though. Good questions asked. I think that one faction wouldn't declare war on an ally if that ally is at war with another ally because being alone in war is bad. In this circumstance you could help two opposing factions fight and thus weaken each other and sell the intelligence to yet another faction. Diplomacy could make this game alot more complex and interesting.

I thought it would be interesting if you could make alliances with the neutral planets. So instead of attacking all of them you could go into a partnership were you provide "protection" for a percentage of their economies.

You mean like a protectorate? Weaker factions and defeated factions could also become protectorates of a nearby much stronger faction or the faction that defeated them.

I can see Advent and Vasari wanting to take over everything but tec is  the good guys....why would they bomb and annialate neutrals? As long as they got a piece of the pie.  Now if the neutrals  rebuff your offer.........

Cause from what I understand from the small info of the game, those places belonged to the TEC before, but they decided to rebel when the TEC started getting its ass wupped. Therefore the TEC will try to take them back in a war. Like the U.S.A. vs. the C.S.A.

I think protectorates would be cool. I also found it frustrating when you 'defeated' an enemy and all of their stuff would remain sitting their under nobody's command, not even becoming a neutral status, surly a decent chunk would be seized by the force giving the killing blow.
