Relation Bonus

A relation bonus helps out with allying with other civilations. The most easy way to get them is to do missions, give them Sporebucks or by just introducing yourself (introduce nicely.) There is also many other ways to gain relation bonuses, you can improve their planet, use helpfull/good tools (happy ray),by starting a trade route or ally with the foreign civilation. There is also negative relation bonuses, they harm your relationship with other races. To do this, you have to destroy buildings, harm their planet, start a war with them, scare their citizens and much, much more. A race might already dislike you, like the infamous "Grox", they have -70, so you have to not destroy their ships and only help them to ally with them (note: The Grox like when you break "Galatic Code", even though other nations hate it, also if you ally with the Grox all other nations will go to war with you.)
