Relationship dropping with ally

from Sins Forums

A friend and I started a game as allies going against 4 other AI who were not teamed. I was advent loyalists and my friend was advent rebels. We put 3 envoys on each others populated planets early to increase relationship as well as researched all the relationship boosting things.

 

My relationship with friend steadily rose the entire game and capped at 19 whereas my friends never made it past 12. It would get to 12 and drop suddenly to 9. Did that a few times.

 

Then at the end of the game it just dropped steadily and forced us to break off all treaties etc.

 

What causes this?

Open the diplomacy menu and mouse over the player for details. Basically proximity, fleet size, and a few other factor cause diplomacy to decay. Each faction has different factors to it. To stop it you need to sent a certain number of envoy in order to avoid decay, giving missions and donating also helps.

Until you research public forgiveness you'll also be hit by the -5 relationship for faction.

Also if a planet your envoy is at is lost and recolonized, you lose all built relationship on that planet. Can make relations crash fast. If either of you was allies with an ai that the other was attacking that would do it too
