Question regarding pacts and diplomacy.

Okay so If i was to ally a Tec player with Advent its pretty straight forward we research pacts,he gets my shileds and so on I get his armor and so on,but what if I ally with another Advent,our pacts are identical,do they stack? especially if I am to have 2 advent allies?with different identical pacts signed?

Two Advent or two TEC have the same pacts. So do they get doubled effects or are they being screwed over by being the same race is what he is asking.

They don't stack. The biggest benefit is from being able to ally from a race other than your own.

Presumably because it's easier to get your relationship up high enough. Might it be worth giving the loyalist/rebel factions different pacts as well so it's really advantageous to manage to get your opposite in another race as an ally which has lots of modifiers against you?

this is a good idea that has been brought up in at least on other tread...i would like to see different pacts between factions/races.  Also, there should be a bonus (economic or diplomatic, possibly a military bonus if you have pacts with 3 AIs) if you have pacts with 2 AIs.  The bonus would increase if you had pacts with 3 AIs and so on.  This would not only make 4 vs. 4 or 5 vs. 5 games more interesting/worth it, but it would also give a better incentive to create alliances.

 

Thoughts???

And in uneven teams it would give an overwhelming advantage to the bigger team. They already have the advantage of numbers. Bashing AIs is easy enough, we don't need to break MP just so it "gets more fun".

Last time I checked you can only have pacts with one player (don't know if you can have one with each faction or just one total) so that situation wouldn't come up.

you can have pacts with more than 1 AI as long as you don't try to get the same pact twice.  As in, you can't offer a tier 1 pact to AI 1 and then offer the same tier 1 pact to AI 2.  But you can offer tier 1 pact to AI 1 and tier 2 pact to AI 2.  (i know that there are no pacts in the tier 1 of research i just called it that)
