Tired of frequent attacks in space stage? Check this out

As soon as you expand even a bit further, you're bound to encounter a new civilization.

I tried to expand to places where no one was, which succedded for a bit, but i did eventually find new civs, but many of them had my allies between me and them so they didn't attack as much as my earlier allies.

But then they'll start attacking your allies and your allies will call for help and if you don't answer the call... yeah. Remember all the things that can degrade your relationships...

Not giving money when asked
Not answering your allies' call for help to fight a bio-disaster
Not answering your allies' call for help against pirates
Not answering your allies' call for help against Grox
Not answering your allies' call for help against an alien nation
Not answering your ally A's call for help against an attack from your ally B
Not answering your ally B's call for help against an attack from your ally A
Answering ally B's call for help against an attack from ally A
Answering ally A's call for help against an attack from ally B
Defending your territory from an attack from an alien race
...

The last point annoys me. I was trying to mend relationships with an alien race, but how am I supposed to do that when I have a permanent -100 diplo penalty called "You destroyed our ships!" ... Oh did I? Well you were attacking me I was defending my colony. You should only get such a penalty when you were the aggressor!

In fact, the same problem occurs in all other stages. I was trying to be "green" (friendly) in tribe stage after having been carnivorous (red) and adaptable (blue) in the first two stages... So I had a slope to climb on the graph thingy. I had to befriend all the tribes. But when they attacked me and I defended my village, my path on the evolutionary graph would take a steep dive towards the "aggressive" section. I managed to achieve my goal but it was a rather close call. I shouldn't get "aggressive" points when I'm defending!

Is there a good reason to get an ally in space? Seems like keeping them at friendly is good enough. They won't attack you and won't ask you for help all the time... No? Why get an ally!? It's only trouble.

If you don't want pirate attacks then go fo the pirates be gone consequence. If you want diplomacy easier go for the diplomacy consequence. By modding pirates you are rendering an entire line of evolution pointless.

I tried the extreme version and I have noticed a significant drop although it seems the timer resets when I reload a game. Which is alright I guess.

I've been playing this afternoon, without allying to anyone (you get no diplo penalty for refusing to ally) and I must say that it's been much more controllable for now.

There is still this one species that is likely going to go to war with me, but I'll destroy them.

I don't know what happened in this case, this guy I had a good relationship with, and at some point I notice I have a "-70 you refused to pay tribute!" penalty towards him. I have no idea how that happened, I never got the request to start with!

This is easy to get around. As soon as they spawn, send your cheiften to give them a gift. If they start annoyed/angry they go to neutral, and if they're neutral they go to happy. Either way, you'll never get attacked.

Besides, Tribe shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes anyways.

You preobably did what I did. Whenever I would get transmissions from one race I knew they wanted money so I just stopped answering. You still get the penalty even if they never ask.

HA, I had to restart in tribe and I have many Civfanantic Spore buddies content!
They are all very strong and the cute green creatures by SimonAL are fierce!

It will take me days to get back to space

No, I answered all transmissions! I never saw a single request for money. I saw one actually, and I accidentally refused to pay for that one, so I got -30 or something. But now I'm up to -100 and I never saw the other requests.

Also SpurnSpore, the green ones? I dunno if it's the green ones that I'm thinking about, but they may be the first one I made, I thought it was rather ******** looking and didn't like it If it's these guys, they are supposed to be rather friendly!
