Players and AI empires now have access to a tool to solve conflictual situations through diplomacy. You can now react to your allies’ decisions, leave the alliance in case of a declared war, or strengthen your bond with your allies, allowing you to benefit from faction-specific bonuses. New options are now available when players make alliances with other factions.
