The recent suspicious behavior of the Americans pulls the spotlight to the far east, over to France. The French people are considered both Commercial and Industrious. Their unique unit (Musketeer) is not likely to appear for several turns yet, but presents a formidable unit throughout the Middle Ages. They are located southeast of America and could be a valuable ally if we ever were to get involved in a conflict with the Americans.
Once again, the purpose of this discussion is to assist this ministry in developing a cohesive foreign policy towards our fellow civilizations. For simplicity's sake, I suggest we attempt to categorize our official policy in one of the following ways:
Code:
[u][b]Civ[/b][/u] [u][b]Emb[/b][/u] [u][b]Diplomatic Status[/b][/u] [u][b]Policy[/b][/u]
France [color=red]54g[/color] Peace ([color=orange]Annoyed[/color])- Gracious Ally - These nations are considered our most trustworthy allies. All trades are generally accepted and sometimes gifts are exchanged. We would gladly come to this nation's aid in a time of need.
- Trading Partner - Practically all proposed deals are accepted. Alliances, MPPs, and Embargoes must be discussed in the forums prior to signing.
- Friend - Generally favorable opinion. Most trades are accepted unless not in our best interests. Alliances, MPPs, and Embargoes must be discussed in the forums prior to signing.
- Rival - Generally unfavorable opinion, but publicly treated as a Friend. Most trades are accepted unless not in our best interests. Alliances, MPPs, and Embargoes with this nation will not be accepted, and those against must be discussed in the forums prior to signing.
- Foe - Generally unliked. Technologies are not proferred to this nation and most trade deals would be rejected unless we clearly benefit more. Embargoes are our prefered weapon against these nations, and Alliances and MPPs against this nation must be discussed in the forums prior to signing.
- Hated Enemy - As the name implies, these nations would be our most hated enemies. No trades are offered or accepted. We would actively seek to establish Trade Embargoes against these nations whenever possible and all out war is preferred to peace.
