The results can vary on both yours and the target Empire’s diplomatic stance. First contact is set into story stages similar to archeology dig sites, where Envoys hope to eventually make a breakthrough and progress to the next chapter before establishing communications.

New Intelligence and Espionage systems let you spy on and conduct operations against both allies and rivals.īefore you can spy on these aliens, you need to find them first.
