Summary0017368: Diplomacy idea : diplomatic reports, missions and positionning
DescriptionOk, one idea I had was to "tie" the faction goals into the interface itself. I always saw diplomacy as something you don't entirely do yourself, rather diplomats giving you (the leader) ideas and deal ideas.

3 ideas here:
- When hovering on the icon on the right you'd get a "complete" report of what your diplomats offer as options, like "they might like us more if we polluted less", "they're weak, let's crush them", "they might be interested in trading that with this"... and so on.
- your "diplomats" report with periodic bubbles thoughts, objectives, so on so you'd have diplomacy on the main screen. They could be what's above, and also offers. Like mini-missions. Like "there's a thoraxian nest, could you get rid of it for us ?" or "Could you build 5 solar powerplants and demolish your oil powerplant ?". Or "Could you establish a trade to (place)" ?
- last, have the "bubble" show impact for "important" decisions. Like you're expanding ? Have bubbles show up and state which faction will "like" your expanding there and why ("hey, that's my space !!!" or "good, expand there so my ennemies have less place"). And so on - like building factories might upset pollution lovers.

Hoping it gives you ideas. It does have a large impact on all AIs and so on.
