How to bring allies to help in war?

from GalCiv3 Forums

I have played a great many games, but most of the time only until I defeated one or two factions, because then I was so far ahead that I lost interest in the game. So I never paid much attention to alliances.

But in my current game I managed to become second best after defeating the first AI, but the best AI has the quadruple power rating than mine (about 22000 against my 6000). So I allied with six other AIs until the most powerful AI declared war on me. But now I have to fight alone (and I am losing right now), all the others do nothing.

So my somewhat noobish question: how do I bring my allies to honor the alliance and fight on my side?

Alliance is not an Alliance in GC3, its just for the Alliance Victory, its miss named tbh. You can however get them to join your war but you will have to "bribe" them.

Hm, thanks for the answer, I feared that much ...

When I bribe them, do I have to expect that they give up on that "forced" war after a couple of turns (as it is often the case in 4X games) or do they really help me?

Depends on thier relations with the Civ you bribed them to go to war with, if they have good relations I would expect them to declare peace after the cooldown. At which point, you can bribe them again lol.
