Races and Factions Engage In War and Diplomacy With Each other?

[Doomdog19]

Hello,

I saw the sticky about how the AI will now be allowed to build outside of their zones. This is great to hear but I'm wondering if the AI will be able to start wars with each other and eventually reach a diplomacy? Or will they just be expanding into each others territories? If it happens, will we players be able to participate in the faction conflict or just remain neutral?

Personally, I like the idea of them engaging in war with one another and creating peace treaties.

Well, Bernd in the new Gamescom video says that universe structure and political alliances will be dynamic, but I guess we'll have to see how much.

Bernd also mentioned that the pleyer could start it's own war effort or join the war effort of a faction if they want. In the gamescon movie.

It is however unclear how this would work and what this means exactly.

I was thinking there will probably be faction military missions that could initiate hostilities? Just to have dynamic sector control in an X game is already very exciting.

Just hope ir's not Albion Prelude style, they take Sector then the other retakes it back and fourth style boring.
