Diplomat (philosophy)

"Diplomats are negotiators and problem solvers. Peace will come to the galaxy only through open communication between species."

- In-game description

Diplomats are usually happy at first sight, so players tend to ally with them more than any other archetype empires, because Diplomats, Traders and Bards are easy to ally with. Diplomat empires have a Grand Council, which is often mentioned in communication.

Diplomat Unique Power
The Diplomat acquires the Static Cling unique ability. Static Cling can be used to temporarily disable all ships and turrets on an enemy planet. (Note: If you use it on a planet you own all enemy ships will be disabled, not your own turrets or ships)

Through Evolution
The Diplomat archetype is awarded to species that gains an equal number of green and blue cards.

Note that you may not make 5 alliances, and then automatically complete the mission upon its acceptance. You must accept and pay for the mission first, THEN make 5 new alliances.

Diplomat's Philosophy
"We, the Diplomat Empire follow the Philosophy of Order. Our councils keep the Harmony and update all the forms and Galactic Calendars. It's the way of measurable progress. Without Order, the garbage keeps piling up.

Speaking of which, we have Static Cling Super-Technology. We use this to halt the turrets of disorderly cities anywhere, so we can negotiate them into an alliance... And make sure the forms get filed on time, in triplicate."

Rares
The Diplomats rare treasures are the Scrolls of Order. The combined value of the Scrolls of Order is $450,000. However, if you have all of them in your cargo hold at the same time, the set will sell for $4,500,000 instead.

Grand Council
The "Grand Council" is the type of government used by Diplomat empires. in the Space Stage. When contacting your empire, a Diplomat will say phrases such as The Grand Council is happy to receive a visit from one of our Stellar Comrades! Diplomats often create alliances with other empires and are peaceful. They are democratic and follow the Scrolls of Order. Some other information about the Grand Council's form of government is that there are many different smaller councils, which supposedly control one area of the Diplomat empire and take orders from the Grand Council.

There is a lot of speculation about this topic.
