Diplomacy

Other than the Phoenix Project, three main factions remain in the world: New Jericho, Synedrion, and the Disciples of Anu. Each of them exerts substantial control over the majority of Havens that remain in the world.

In the course of the game, each faction will offer a series of Diplomacy missions. Completing these missions will allow you to improve relations with them. Important diplomacy missions are given at the highest point of the relationship levels Friendly (24), Supportive (49), and Aligned (74).

Relationship levels:

Allied (attitude 75+): Faction is now allied with the Phoenix Project and will co-operate on finding a solution to the Pandoran threat. Phoenix may now actively participate in faction research projects. Attacking allied faction Havens puts you immediately At War.

Aligned (attitude 50-74): Faction is now aligned with the goals and values of the Phoenix Project. All completed faction research is now shared with Phoenix and can be accessed from the Research List.

Supportive (attitude 25-49): Faction is supportive of the Phoenix Project. Locations of Faction Havens have been added to the Geoscape. Defend them to earn a reputation. Failure to defend a Haven under attack will lose some support.

Friendly (attitude 1-24): Standard relations.

Unfriendly (attitude -25-0): Cannot trade or recruit from Haven leaders with such an attitude.

Hostile (attitude -25- -49): No special effect.

Aggressive (attitude -50- -74): No special effect.

At War (attitude -75): The faction will attempt to attack your bases. Relations cannot improve from this point.
