There’s always something you wish you had known earlier in Civilization 7, be it a sneaky way to boost your economy or a trick to outmaneuver rivals.
What are Diplomatic Actions?
Diplomatic Actions are actions taken between two civilizations, which include shared projects, sanctions, espionage, and starting alliances/wars.Diplomatic Actions can be taken on any turn by selecting another leader from the top right-hand corner of the game screen. From there, you may select a Diplomatic Action to take. Most Diplomatic Actions are taken over the course of a number of turns and can change your relationship with the leader.
Diplomatic Actions are split into four categories: Treaties, Endeavors, Sanctions, and Espionage.
Some Diplomatic Actions require other civilizations to support, accept, or reject the action. Supporting the action costs Influence Points, but will grant you more benefits depending on the action. Accepting the action will only grant benefits to the civilization taking the action, but will not cost the other any Influence Points. Rejecting the action also takes Influence Points, but will prevent the other civilizations from receiving the benefits from the action.
Each Diplomatic Action you take will cost Influence Points. These are earned in different ways such as buildings, abilities, and different narrative choices taken as a civilization. Your relationships with other civilizations can also affect the cost of different Diplomatic Actions.
It can be very easy to lose track of Diplomatic Actions and your Influence Points, so it is always a good idea to check back on each leader frequently to see what Actions you have taken or can take.
Your relationship with each civilization can change over time depending on your location, agenda, government choices, and actions taken. You can check your relationship status from the Diplomatic Actions screen by selecting the Heart tab. Here, you can see each action that has affected your relationship. You can also see the other leader’s relationship with the rest of the civilizations you have met. Balancing relationships can be tricky, as many leaders have differing agendas and intentions.
Diplomatic Actions can be a very effective way of getting an advantage over otherleaders in Civilization 7.
Some Civs and leaders thrive on Diplomacy, so they can rack up influence points quickly and get boosts from Diplomatic Actions. For example, Machiavelli is a leader geared towards Diplomacy, as his ability enables him to earn gold for every Diplomatic Action accepted or rejected.
Chances are you will meet many of the leaders in theAntiquity Age, so it is important to consider what kind of relationships you will want with each leader early on. When you meet them, check out their agendas and government choices in the relationship screen, then start to take Diplomatic Actions to change your relationship and earn some great boosts. Diplomatic Actions are a big part of any civilization, as you will need to keep track of relationships with civilization, as it willlead to alliancesand wars, which are very consequential in Civilization 7.
