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. You can become allied with all factions at the same time.

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 from 75 to 100)

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.
