Diplomatic Takeover

A Diplomatic Takeover happens after your home world is rid of enemies, and the allied nations agree to merge with your nation.

How to do it
A steady supply of Sporebucks helps in this strategy. This is also easier to do in when economic, and in easier games.


 * Send out all of your vehicles to capture the accessible spice geysers. Then loot tribes, for extra vehicles and Sporebucks.  Then set up a trade route with another civilization.


 * Put up a high bid to buy that city. Compliment every nation, then buy another city or two.  When you have three or four cities, stop and wait.  Once superpowers develop, give gifts to them.  Give gifts until they all love you!


 * Mind your own business for a while, and keep peace with all nations. Sooner or later, nations will ask you if they can merge with you.  Say yes, and sooner or later you'll be finished with the Civilization Stage.  it's as simple as 1-2-3, but not too reliable.

Other Notes

 * Look for these positive notes

-Your Gifts -Your Compliments -You fought our enemy (This isn't reliable on one nation, but helps with other Nation's relationship)


 * Avoid these negative notes

-Your Religion -You were cheap -You attacked us -Your insults -You're a threat to us (This is a hopeless, annoying, anti-relation builder. You can either persist with gifts, or ask an already allied nation to attack their cities.)

Self explanatory, right?
