REALLY NEED HELP WITH DIPLOMACY for WWIII Update 6 (4.6.1)
Posted: Jan 26 2007
Hi, could someone please help me with the situation I encounter that just really frustrate the life out of me! I try, and I try and I try to do what everyone has talked about in this forum particularly this Diplomacy topic!
I am playing as United States, in World War III scenario, with normal difficulty rating and the game has been updated to the latest update which is update 6, or version 4.6.1
Anyway, upon the start of the game I immediately reduce my "build capacity" to even less than sixth in the whole region, I deactivated almost all of sea port, airbase, land base and even outpost. I focus primarily on social spending to please my people, and I got the domestic approval rating of 47% more or less with the military rating at a steady 75%.
Anyway, just as the game suggest upon starting and just as in real life, I wanted to build a good relationship with Israel, British, and Australia; As they are the only nations that have only "indifferent" diplomatic relationship for both the government and civilization rating towards the US. So just as the forums suggested I started with all the little treaties to build a good ground, I started by offering embassy treaties, and as usual they hit back with a counter offer requesting for cash to be thrown with it, and I comply!
Cut long story short, I got all three of them (Israel, British and Australia) agreeing with me with all the little treaties, even the full transit treaty! The only treaties left is the mutual and missile defense plus the formal alliance and non aggresion pact, which what I really want!
However this is where the problem is: I got them agreed to all those little treaties, and yet their government and civilian bar are not increasing at all, I thought that it is too small to notice so I ignore it! But now I need them to be please at me and that their bar to increase, so that I can get them to agreed for a formal alliance, so they won't attack me should my troops past their territory in the future.
So, I gave them a 100million to 200million small gift without asking for anything back, I give those gift once a day, to all those three nations, (now here is the frustrating part) their government and civilian bar instead of increasing, it is actually decreasing, so they went from "indifferent" to "concerned"...however I keep at it just as some suggested, but they went to now "disapproving" towards me. It is so frustrating since I am the 6th if not 7th in build cap ranking for the whole map, and have 47% domestic approval and have no war, with peace DEFCON!
So how am I ever get them to agreed to become allied, if their bar never went up, I can understand if it is stay the same, but to "WENT DOWN" it really frustrate the life out of me, I try to give them commodities with money, I even give them a lot of social related technology instead of military ones for free, yet they still went down, from "indifferent" to now just about "outraged", I mean how come that be when another country is giving gifts to you, it should at least remains the same if not goes up for the bar, but not goes down!
So could anyone PLEASE...PLEASE...help! should I keep on giving? and by the way, can I just pause the game and give each country a repeated single cash-offer-for-none about 30 times? or once a day suffice? PLEASE HELP....PLEASE HELP!!! What should I do??? Thanking all of help in advance!
