Alliances - How do they work?

Posted on Saturday, March 26, 2016

What it says on the post title.

Just downloaded GalCiv3 and started playing it. It's really fun, but I have a question about Diplomacy and alliances.

It seems that when I get into an alliance with another race that I can't actually ask them to "Declare War" on another alien race. This seems like an oversight, but am I wrong? I can ask them to "Embargo" their trade with another race, but they don't automatically declare war on other civilizations I am fighting with, so I think I might be missing something.

It also seems like some of the late game Diplomacy techs don't actually have usability associated with them - I never saw an option to offer someone an "Assimilation Treaty" for example.

Is there something I am missing in this? 

 

Also, am I correct in assuming that the UP decides votes based on Population? Is there anything I should be doing to get the other races to vote for me to the UP Chair?

Thanks!
