Delicate Negotiations is a Maxis-made adventure present in Spore Galactic Adventures. It is an unlockable adventure, which can be given to the player by empires with the Diplomat archetype in the Space Stage.

In this adventure, the player must prevent two races (the Montalettes and the Capagues) from starting a war by bringing one race's king's son and the other race's king's daughter to them. The adventure is a parody of William Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet.

Summary[]

The player is asked by Duke Montalette, the leader of the Montalettes, to find his son, Julio Montalette, who he believes has been kidnapped by the Capagues, and to give the Capagues' leader, Baron Capague, a scroll. The player then finds the Baron, who denies kidnapping Julio, and says that the Montalettes have taken his daughter, Romiette. By talking to people in the village, the player finds out that neither child has been kidnapped and that they are together on a date up a path from the town. The two are oblivious to the strife their disappearance has called, and they return to their parents just in time to prevent the battle between the two races from taking place.

Trivia[]

  • Rhyme: All the words and phrases in the speech bubbles and when talking to the characters rhyme with each other, this may be because the adventure is based on the play "Romeo and Juliet".
  • Names: The names are the reverse of Romeo and Juliet, as their names are Julio and Romiette. Also, their last names are Montalette and Capague, the reverse of Capulet and Montague.
  • When arriving at the Baron's castle gate, the player can follow the wall to the right to find two Spoffits. The inclusion of Spoffits in unlikely places is an ongoing joke in Maxis-made adventures.
  • The Baron asks you if his face is all red at the end of the adventure because he is embarrassed. Since his skin is naturally red, it is, but you couldn't tell if he's embarrassed or not.
  • When going back to the Diplomat Empire that gave you the mission, they will express relief over the lack of war and hope that the two Dukes will not end up going to war anyway over the color of the wedding cake frosting.
