The Department of Foreign Affairs - Term 2

[chiefpaco]

Sorry if I missed this somewhere in the many new threads, but here is my question.

We were declared war on by a Suspect Nation. Was this an act that went according to the Foreign policy? Or was it more of a suprise? Perhaps I am just fishing for a comment or some ease of mind. It appears we had some deals with them previously. Did they expire?

Thanks for a response.

Most likely we bankrupted them. When their economy went bottoms up they declared war to break the deals that were driving them into the poor house.

May I request that the Foriegn Affairs Dept. try to buy Democracy from Greece, India or Iriquois using Science Dept. funds.

Trade deals and Science deals don't need to come through Foreign Affairs. Those departments should make their own deals independently. If you can wait 4 turns, we'd be happy to tie this in to one of our peace renegotiations. That would give you a much better deal than a straight purchase.
