Diplomacy is more than just declaring war. Building strong relationships with other Godir can lead to powerful alliances, trade agreements, and even vassalization. Vassals provide a portion of their income and can be called upon for military support. Use gifts, shared vision, and common enemies to improve relations. Conversely, strategically declaring rivalries can provide Imperium income. Understanding the 'attitude' of other factions and manipulating it to your advantage is a powerful non-military strategy.
Diplomatic Strategies:
- Gifts & Treaties: Improve relations with friendly factions.
- Vassalization: Gain resources and military support from weaker factions.
- Alliances: Form powerful military blocs against common enemies.
- Rivalries: Declare rivals for Imperium income, but be prepared for conflict.
