Hi,

If I have a DoF with Civ A which I secretly fear and I pay another DoF Civ B to attack Civ A, does that have any diplomatic consequences?

I don't think it matters but this is on Deity difficulty.
 
No diplomatic consequences for you. But CivB will likely get denounced by CivA's friends and other neutral civs. Not sure why you'd fear CivA though since the only way for CivB to declare war relatively cheap is for them to have a stronger army, wouldn't you fear CivB more then?
 
CivA was on my borders while CivB wasn't.

I was wondering if spies could pick up that I paid them to attack as I was "plotting against" them or something.
 
No immediate (first order) diplomatic ramifications. I do this all the time.

Note that in Civ IV, there was sometimes a diplomatic penalty for initiating such actions (getting someone to embargo someone else).

However, if you have a DoF with Civ A and you bribe Civ B to attack Civ A, you will likely get a penalty with Civ B for being friends with someone they are enemies with.
