Declaration of War Pact - More than One Race declaring war at once.

from GalCiv3 Forums

Issue - Smaller races suiciding as a last resort when other options exist.


Solution - 2 or more smaller races grouping up in a declaration of war treaty, and the player or the big empire facing threats on multiple fronts, all declared at once.

That was in GC II as a Mega Event.  The "multiple races gang up on the leader" idea, that is.  It'd be nice to see that return to GC III one day.  Perhaps hand-in-hand with the return of the Drath? }:)

There are three ways this happens in game already:

One of the ufp resolutions is all ufp members gang up on the exiled race.

One of the ideology powers makes anyone who declares war on you get ganged up on.

Players can actively use diplomacy to convince multiple ais to go to war in one turn vs the same enemy.

 

But none work as the last resort you are proposing. I think it would be a useful addition to diplomacy.

A Master of Orion style "Final War" scenario would also be interesting.

I forget which game it was, but you could ask for a mutual declaration of war as a treaty. If the AI is small and its opponent it hates is big, then it would benefit from being a weighted possibility in its calculations. Hates not dislikes should be the condition, as its an even more threatening move than a straight declaration of war, and for the player might see the removal of said race, not just fighting to a peace.

The reason this is superior to the traditional, please join us in our war, is because it instantly means two, three or more threats quite possibly from different directions, which takes some thought from the player or effort from the AI to counter, in fact distance from the AI but proximity to the target might make a better choice to open up these multiple fronts.

As a side note, I don't know about you, but the very turn someone declares war on me and I think they might have the upper hand, I always get another race nearby them to go to war, that turn if possible, I don't wait till half way through the war, and I am willing to be generous in trading to get it.
