Trade Pacts & Trade Routes: The core idea is that having a Trade Pact with another race could allow you to make trade routes with their empire. Check out the video below for info on how the new Trade Route system works and you'll see just how powerful an option this would be. If we do this, we'd obviously need to limit the system so you can't just squeeze your trading partners for all their resources.

Alternatively, we could just make it so that you're physically limited to a certain number of trade routes with that empire and/or a certain amount of each resource. This could be either a firm limit or something that can be negotiated once the Trade Pact is agreed on. In either case, we could come up with an AI routine that would detect unfair trade routes and threaten to cancel the agreement.

This could tie into the diplomacy as well, two factions who have revenue generating trade routes linking them would have better relations.
not an alliance, but a pact that 2+ players make against another or more races, to combat secretly, this would be sort of liek the ribbentrop pact that germany and russia did in ww2 against poland, and military pacts would be secret actions which is from the other races not involved...
unlike a alliance which is known to all races, this could be used for embargos, espionage, military actions, etc...
would add flavour to diplomacy rather then the usual stuff most games have, but also make diplomacy interesting as you can deal under the table to races while doing other things ont he table...
If you would put something like that in, why not just slap a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ button there to fill up the remaining "acceptable value" to 1 credite above needed. Would save you an extra textbox or slider, but don't forget to put a picture of a vending machine, or price tag next to the techs. Heck you can even do a weekly discount hahaahahahaha.
Oh yes, i can already see it. As soon as you just notice a completly new race you instantly learn all theire planets (and probably theire location) beacuse ♥♥♥♥♥ it, if you pay extra you can even chose the color of the bulls-eye where your army needs to go to make the most damage. Exploration? Why? This isn't a 4x... OH WAIT!
I was trying to imagine a situation where this would make sense. I guess guess if you ran out of coins for the vending machine you might aswell stuff anything in the hole that you found around you. Altho this might be less stupid then the money thing, at least they might be able to use these stuff, while I doubt they can use your race's currency hahahaha.
This actually make sense, but should have a HUGE resource draw increase to host the combined research. But I would put this option to full alliance, beacuse it is basicly you let them infilirate your secrets not to mention your techlevel, and knowledge is power.
I think the last part is useless. Attacks as such supposed to be secret, yo. Else why would you do it in the first place? I think a better penality is that the race will go war with you and can only offer peace itself, if it wants, but you are banned from any form of diplomacy to them until they do.
Seems legit, but it should only affect offered military units or sectors, not the whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ race.
Again I would put this really deep, at least on the same level of alliance as being an alternative one, or it could work on a lower level but would only affect attached units or sectors. (not like ahhhh yeah if you want to move your entire fleet to my home planet you do so i dont mind at all!)
This should be the ground level really. Like before non-agression pact. You know it would only affect unarmed heavellly overwatched individuals continously tracked.

I'm starting to implement this now, so I'd like to take a moment to reply to some of the feedback:
We could do this in a similar way to MOO2, where you can demand that one race declares war on another. You wouldn't need to be in an alliance, just make a good enough offer to make them agree, and nobody would know it was you pulling the strings in the background.
Agreed! Pirates would have to be a random event that happens in a star system and you'd have to send your ships there and destroy them to get rid of them. They could disrupt trade routes in a star system by blockading the system entirely or just by stealing a percentage of the trade route resources each turn, and they wouldn't leave the star system.
These are all up for debate, actually. My current thinking is that you should be able to set up a trade route with another race just like you can with your own empire and then choose to send any resources you like there or request any resources you need. There are a few ways we could do this:
1) You're given money/turn for the resources, and the prices fluctuate with demand on the planet. For example, if the planet has excess food then they won't pay much for more. You could also import excess resources from the planet at the cost of money per turn.
2) You have a trade meter with that race, which goes up when you send them resources and down when you import resources from them. If the meter ever reaches 0, the trade agreement is broken. This is similar to option 1 but it's a zero sum game and doesn't get money involved. When your trade points are getting low, the AI's points will be high and they might set up their own trade routes to spend them.
3) For each trade route you set up that exports resources to a planet, you can set one up to import them. You can only import as much as you export. This is a much simpler system, but carries the problem that each resource has a different value. Population is difficult to grow, food is produced in large quantities, and the value of energy and metal varies by planet.
Yep! The plan is to add very rare strategic resources that give global bonuses to whoever owns them, like Adamantine ore deposits that give bonus armour hitpoints to ships or warp plasma gas deposits that improve FTL speed of all ships by 1 ly/turn. We could offer access to these resources as another diplomacy option. The question is whether you can share the strategic resource or if granting the other race access means you no longer have it. I'm leaning toward the former option, while keeping the deposit extremely rare, as in there should be only one of each strategic resource on a medium sized map.
If we do add Trade Goods, I like the idea of tying this to a technology. It'd be limited to one route and could generate maybe 1BC/turn per 1000 population on both planets. I think this will have to wait until we put in the rest of the diplomacy and trade mechanics so we can see how it all interacts and how we can implement Trade Goods without making the game really complicated, but it's definitely a good idea.
We probably won't have explicit escort ships for trade routes. Instead, pirates would pop up in a star system and you'd have to battle them to get rid of them. We could make it so that having even a single combat ship in the system will let them escort trade ships and counteract the pirates, just like how blockades work currently. So you could ignore the pirates and just station one escort ship in the system, but you'd need to kill the pirates if you wanted to move the ship out of the system.
csatrad, I understand that you have strong opinions about 4X game design but your post is an abusive rant that is not constructive and contains no useful feedback. I put this thread up to get feedback on our current ideas and allow our backers and supporters to contribute their own ideas. If you have any ideas on how you would like diplomacy to work, you are welcome to post them in a constructive manner. If you write another abusive rant on this forum, you will be banned from posting on it.

The biggest thing I'd like to see a way to assert your superiority over a given faction without destroying it (ie making them pay tribute) but i'd also like to see a by-race pact, like 'we hate this dude more than you, lets kill them together' or 'Even the two of us can't fight these guys. Let's have a truce and raid their trade lines.' You know, things that don't mean a long term alliance.
EDIT B/c i forgot:
I like the idea of pirates being centered around trade locations. I don't know how you guys want pirates to work in the overall picture, but what if you could provide 'incentives' for pirates to raid enemy trade lines?
On Diplomacy, no matter what else the diplomacy system has, in my view the most important factor is that the AI be willing to actually use the system. I'm sure we've all played the games where the AI's response to 'Hey, can I trade Faster Laser Recharging in exchange for your Faster Missile Reloading tech?' is "Arglabargle No you stupid savage you have to give us all your monies and techs if you want Faster Missile Reloading Tech, no matter that you can research it in a mere five turns and this is a fair deal that just saves us both a bit of time'.
...Maybe I'm overstating it a bit, but you get the idea. Beyond what any diplomacy system can theoretically do, for it to matter at all the AI has to be willing to both use it, and willing to respect what is agreed from it and not respond to a non-aggression pact by trying to flood your land with settlers.
On trade, I'd like to point out that as long as their is profit to be made I'm sure some people will be willing to do some smuggling no matter if there's a trade pact set up or not. That could be an interesting random event!
On piracy, will it be possible to hire/fund/bribe pirates to go harass your enemy's trade lanes?
An idea I’ve been playing in my mind is some kind of inter-planet diplomacy, perhaps you could have different races having different levels of influence or something opening up markets? say a % of a planet surplus your able to trade is = to your influence or something like that (just an idea could go more in depth but something even low like that might be nice).
For the trade I do like the idea of doing economic warfare, should be some way to counter it, or maybe you should just have to state what your trade policy is with each race. Like it’s on free trade at first then you can set for example race A will be tariffed trade (they have to pay a certain amount per some amount) while you have set race B with embargo. Could also set this by planet and make a kind of trade planet like Canton or Nagasaki for RL examples.
So a gunship (Matthew Perry anyone?) open free trade with me for planet X diplomacy action would be nice.
And of course all trade with everyone should be by them freighters so if you are to do that economic warfare you would need the merchant fleet to do it with (which could then be raided etc). Also consider escorts.
