How do you close the borders ?

[Twsted]

I asked this question in google but no one seems to give a clear answer or they go on with jibberish bullcrap taking 5 hours just to answer a simple question
How do you close the borders ????????????
I even checked youtube, and people just dont give a simple answer to the simple question.
Its extremely frustrating. they act like its a secrete that no one should know.
I need a very simple and exact answer please.
How do you close the borders ????????????

Go to your policies and set borders to auto close

That way every time you meet a new empire borders are closed immediately.

Alot of stuff is hidden in that menu. Your stance on slavery, primitive interactions, war policy, etc

The other way (if you dont want to start a new game) is to click on all the empires one at a time and use the close borders option. Its tedious but will have the same effect.

Thank you, very much for that very important info. I will use that info. again thank you.
Though, It seems that the border closing doesnt work maybe a glitch or something is broken, because enemies keep coming into my territory flying in and out ,
even though the borders says "Closed" in the policy.
And I just got beaten - game ended. :/

afaik the border policy is for what its set to on first contact so if you set it to closed AFTER you had your first contact with one or more other empires you'd have to shut your borders with them in diplomatic contact with each of them.
Empires you meet for the first time after policy is set to closed should have closed borders from you.

You click on an enemy flag, or go to the diplomacy tab and select the empire you want to talk with, and click close borders.

Or rival them. That automatically closes borders, too. But gives -100 malice, so be careful with powerful neighbors.

And hostiles do not care about border status, obviously.

As others have said:
01. Policies: Initial Border Status ( in regards to all empires ): Closed !
02. Diplomacy ( in regards to each single empire you select ): Close Borders !
03. Rivalry ( in regards to a few empires you select ) !

But there's one bugging thing you should be aware of: After a war, respectively in a truce with an other empire, the borders between you and said empire will be temporarily opened, too.
