"Civilization 7" is a strategy game and the latest work in the Civilization series. In previous games of the Civilization series, perhaps the most familiar form of diplomacy to players was trading. You can propose a deal using a combination of items such as gold coins, resources, agreements, or masterpieces, and the AI or other players may accept, reject, or propose renegotiation.
How to conduct diplomacy
Diplomacy
In the "Civilization" series, the diplomacy system allows you to interact directly with other empires and establish external relations according to your own strategies. From declaring alliances to establishing open borders, you can engage in a variety of diplomatic activities by negotiating with the world's great leaders.
In the previous games of the Civilization series, perhaps the most familiar form of diplomacy to players was trading. You can propose a deal using a combination of items such as gold coins, resources, agreements, or masterpieces, and the AI or other players may accept, reject, or propose renegotiation. Internally, we call this system the “barter table” because the back-and-forth process of accepting, rejecting, and modifying deal terms is much like market bargaining.
In Civilization VII, we want to elevate diplomacy so that it's no longer just about the details, but instead allows you to make decisions on a more macro level. For example, instead of figuring out how much gold to exchange for a horse, focus on improving the overall trade relationship with another leader and let your empire's merchants handle the specific transactions themselves. How can we make our foreign relations have lasting impact in the face of leaders across generations? How can we provide you with the tools to counter external aggression and influence the decisions of other leaders during conflicts?
To address these issues and achieve our core goal of making diplomacy more useful, we’re introducing a brand new benefit in Civilization VII: Influence!
