Diplomacy

= Introduction =

Starting with 3.1.005, Viceregal Leaders will have access to a new Diplomacy system within their office. This tutorial will go over the basics of this new system.

= Diplomatic Levels =

There are 5 Diplomatic Levels in Secfenia:

1) Alliance - Highest Level of friendship between Viceroyalties

2) Peace - Friendly, but not directly involved

3) Neutral - Observer

4) Hostile - Hostile, but not directly involved

5) War - Enemies

All Leaders can view the diplomatic history between their Viceroyalty and another by selecting the "History" button on the Viceregal Diplomacy Screen.

= Changing Level =

A Viceregal Leader may select the "Change" button on the Diplomacy screen with the Viceroyalty they desire to change the diplomatic relations with. Any attempt at improving relations will request approval by the other Viceroyalty. Any attempt at lowering relations will be processed immediately and no approval is required. The leader of the other non-peasant Viceroyalty will not be notified for lowering of relations.

If a diplomatic change was accepted or processed within the time since reset, you will get a message to wait until after reset to complete the request. You can only change 1 level per day in any direction. To go from alliance to war, it will require 4 days worth of changes.

= Proposals =

When a Viceroyalty has a proposal given, it will send a notification to the Leader of that Viceroyalty. They will then have 5 resets until that proposal times out and a new one can be sent. The Leader of the Viceroyalty may choose this option if they don't want to deal with the request.

The Leader of the Viceroyalty may also choose to either accept or reject the proposal from the Diplomacy screen which is linked in the Notification. In either case, the Viceroyalty who proposed the change in relations will be notified about the decision. If accepted, the relations page will reflect the new change and another change can not be added until next reset.

= Peasant Viceroyalties =

Peasant Viceroyalties may raise Viceregal Armies to defend their allies or to defend their home against those that they are at war with. They may also send armies to Viceroyalties that they are at war with. Like a good game of chess, the intricate game of diplomacy should be carefully played.
