− | + | There is a crude '''diplomacy''' system in ''Dwarf Fortress'' that dictates how your [[fortress]] interacts with the various [[entities]] around the world. It is important to keep in mind, as due to [[worldgen]] your [[civilization]] may already start at [[war]] with one or more of its neighbors. The civilization screen provides basic information on the various diplomacy states: | |
− | |||

− | + | * '''No contact''': exactly what it says. The entity will not interact with you unless you initiate first contact (i.e. through a [[mission]]). Currently the most 'peaceful' way is to 'demand tribute', as this usually succeeds and even when it fails it won't result in an outright war. A civilized entity that has been 'contacted' this way will start sending [[caravan]]s to you if able (that is, if they have the necessary tokens). | |
− | + | * '''Peace''': the normal state of being for most civilizations you are in contact with. Civilized entities will trade with you and send [[representative]]s. Note that in the latest versions you may be even be at peace with [[goblin]] civs. | |
− | + | * '''Alliance''': a peculiar state beyond 'peace', [[alliance]]s are formed between civilization to fend off world existential threats, e.g. [[necromancer]] takeovers. It is unknown whether alliances have any effect in fortress mode or whether it is indeed possible to form one in game at all. | |
− | * ''' | + | * '''Skirmishing''': an intermediate state between peace and outright war that usually exists with small-time entities such as [[tower]]s. It is unknown whether a state of skirmishing results in lower invasion frequency. Raiding a tower will 'upgrade' this state into a full-blown war. |

− | + | * '''War''': your civilization will often be at war with goblin civs and towers. Entities you are at war with will potentially send invasion forces to your fort, especially if you attack them first. Attempting to raid, pillage or raze a site will trigger a war with its parent civ. |
