Is Free Trade Agreement broken?

December 31, 2016 10:33:52 AM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

I established a Free Trade Agreement with the Thalans playing the Contingency part of the base game campaign. If I hover over the FTA help text it states "Give a 25% bonus to the wealth of both civilizations through the sharing of Markets". I have observed a zero increase in income. Is this a known bug with 1.9?

Regards,

Nethog

Its a bug since beta(?),

it actually only gives a wealth-bonus to the recieving faction,

the same is true for the other treatys as well.

Thanks. Is it possible to trade FTA for FTA from the other party to make FTA work as it should?

It is utterly broken, like most of the diplomatic contracts. Treaties are doing something different than described, non-agression can be broken any time, when your allies are attacked you don´t even get a dialogue prompting you to join them or break the alliance. Even Total War games have this and in Stardock games diplomacy is broken in this regard since FE [e digicons][/e]

Hopefully it gets fixed some day...

Agreed, the treaty aspect to diplomacy need a complete overhaul. Alliances appear to be only pre-requisites to a victory condition, rather than a strategic arrangement that could help weaker powers fend of attacks.

Ok thanks. I am a little disappointed that a game that has been out for quite a while now still has broken gameplay, especially from a company like Stardock.

Yeah. Surprisingly, Stardock would be precisely the kind of company I would expect to strongly focus on Diplomacy aspect of the game. Yet believe me, some of the issues (useless alliances) are being discussed since Fallen Enchantress, which is maybe like 5 years ago.
