If you want to improve relations with a foreign empire, you need to have Envoys assigned to your Embassy.
What Exactly Are Embassies?
These are treaties that offer huge bonuses to the empire you establish your embassy with.
This makes improving relations with other empires much easier, but it also makes it easier to clean up after a diplomatic incident. ..
Embassies have a number of effects on the world. They can help to improve relationships between countries, increase trade, and promote peace and understanding. Additionally, Embassies can also help to promote the interests of their country’s citizens abroad.
The Diplomatic Pact enhancer increases the amount of Intel a foreign empire gets for every agreement it makes with another. Additionally, the trust growth is increased by 0.75 per month.
Effect #1: Improved Relations Buff
Embassies make the “Improve Relations” action using your Envoys three times more effective, giving you +3 Opinion per month instead of the usual +1.
This allows you to free up your other diplomats for doing other diplomatic tasks, such as building Spy Networks, and representing your Empire in the Galactic Community or a Galactic Federation.
This buff to Improve Relations also helps tremendously if a negative diplomatic event occurs, and the other empire becomes unhappy with you for some reason. The extra Opinion you gain monthly will offset the amount you might lose in a diplomatic incident.
An embassy won’t prevent the Opinion loss, but you can recover from it quickly.
Effect #2: Alternative Source of Intel
Embassies offer an alternative source for intel other than establishing Spy Networks to a specific empire.
If you have an Embassy established with a foreign empire, each new Diplomatic Pact you start with them will give you an extra 20 Intel on top of that Pact’s base benefits.
It is faster to gain Intel through your embassies than through your Spy Networks. This method also eliminates the risks to foreign relations associated with Spy Networks.
Effect #3: Source of Trust
Trust is a key part of the diplomatic playstyle in Grand Theft Auto V. By using it, you can gain trust with other characters and make them easier to work with.
Trust is a valuable commodity in the world of empires. It is gained over time based on your actions, and increases for every long-term treaty you don’t prematurely end. ..
Declaring surprise wars and ending treaties prematurely lowers Trust because it creates the false sense that the international system is unstable and in need of reform. This can lead to increased conflict, as countries try to protect their interests by taking action against those they believe are breaking the rules.
Embassies can be a good source of trust, especially if your relationship with a certain empire is still new. ..
If you don’t have a high enough relationship with them, establishing other diplomatic pacts can be useful. ..
