Corellia

We are beginning negotiations with The Metal Lords for Corellia here

Just a reminder Diplomacy is done by whole Hexes now rather than individual planets and only Two total hexes at once. (Doesn't matter recipient or provider, only two can change hands at once)

What? Since when? The diplomacy section of Map Updates refers to the trades as planet specific instead of hexes

[member="Faith Organa"],

I'll go check through the rules and ask in the Major Faction Owner chat, but if that's true then we can't do the trade, losing the whole of Corellia hex would cut us off from Hakassi right now and that's a major shipyard planet one of my members already claimed for themselves


Yeah look like Draco's right, you need to search for Diplomacy rules page but I'll raise up a storm and see if I can get it changed.

'At any point, a Major Faction may engage in diplomacy with another Faction to negotiate the exchange of territory.

Label your faction's name and the negotiating faction in the topic title. Acquisitions will not be awarded in the future if this is not adhered to.

If agreement is reached by both Factions then up to 2 hexes may be exchanged. (For example one Faction gives up two hexes or factions trade two one hex each).

Hexes exchanged further than two grids away from a Major Faction's borders will not increase a Major Faction's Influence Cloud.'

Checked the rules. Seems to me Draco's right. Much like invasions, diplomatic exchanges now refer to hexes, not individual planets. So having an entirely separate system for diplomatic exchanges would be a bit inconsistent.

Cira on Discord told me that we can still trade specific planets







Cira-Dziś o 12:02

The rules have not changed for diplomatic exchange










HK-36-Dziś o 12:02

So we can still trade specific planets to each other instead of hexes?

yes






So I have no idea what's going on pretty much

Never mind, it is actually hexes, the Staff didn't knew that the Diplomacy Rules were changed by Tef.

We should post a suggestion poll thread about getting the rules changed again, in the mean time we can keep going ICly in the negotiation threads, if it comes to worst and we won't be able to trade specific planets then we just won't do a map update to reflect it but I don't care what the staff tell me to do, Corellia ICly belongs to Alderaan

Logic and consistency would dictate that the diplomacy rules would be affected by the fact that invasions, doms and rebellions are now all about hexes and many just consist of one planet now...Anyhow, good to have this clarified.

I don't have a horse in this race either way, but I don't think it will work like that. If the rules say that only hexes can be traded, then it means that. Changing the rules to accommodate one individual case seems unrealistic to me right after they were introduced, since the revised diplomacy rules are a logical result of all the other revised rules for the 'map game'. Invasions are about hexes, diplomatic exchanges are about hexes. Anyhow, the diplomacy thread could just be turned into a faction thread if a hex exchange is not palatable.

Yes we can just do a faction thread. I had read the rules and didnt really catch,that we couldn't do a planet.

So. We will work something else out.

Thank you all for getting this clarified
