diplomacy problem

I know that the diplomacy is still in its infant stages, but I was able to trade a scout to two different races in order to bring my relations out of "at war". Was a good deal apart from the fact that they just declared war on me again two turns later :)

The same scout?

Yea, I received the scout from an anomaly as I don't believe I had that tech as of yet and I tried to pawn it off on somebody else to make them happy. If it helps I contacted the races one after the other without leaving the diplomacy screen. It gave me the "I'm glad we could come to an agreement" message on both races but when I contacted a third to see if I could trade it to them as well it was gone. But afterwards both races had hostile relations rather than at war.

Very interesting. The scout trade should have occurred immediately. Will have to look into that.

Brad,
I have seen a lot of things on the diplomacy screen that don't do anything. I had
assumed it was because the underlying code was not yet ready. Please give us
some details about what we should expect to work in diplomacy so we can let
you know what else might be broken.

cheers,
Jack

I've often got 2 scouts from an anomaly! Maybe this happened so two scouts could be traded?

ah yes, that is possible... I don't think I saw two of them tho... maybe they spawned on the same tile? I'm trying to remember back to last week (long day at work ) and if I'm not mistaken I made the trades immediately after receiving the ship(s). I will do my best to duplicate it and let you know what I come up with
