GalCiv4:Diplomacy Events Table
Smuggler's Hideout Treasure
Our flagship has stumbled upon an abandoned smuggler's hideout, brimming with a treasure trove of riches. The smuggler is nowhere to be seen. We now face a moral dilemma: should we seize this unexpected bounty or respect the unwritten rules of ownership?
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
Claim the Treasure
Taking the treasure could significantly boost our resources, providing a much-needed advantage. However, this action might attract unwanted attention and could tarnish our reputation among other factions. |
|
Leave the Treasure Untouched
Respecting the principle of ownership, we choose to leave the treasure untouched. This may uphold our moral and ethical standards, but we miss out on a potentially significant opportunity to enhance our resources. |
Smuggler's Revenge
The smuggler, whose treasure we previously encountered, has returned to seek revenge. Enraged by our actions, they have launched a surprise attack against us with a fleet os ships in our territory. We must prepare to face the consequences of our earlier decision.
Choice | Outcome |

New Shield Technology Discovered
Our flagship has recovered the schematics of a groundbreaking shield technology. This new component, when equipped, promises to add an additional layer of shields to every ship in our fleet, capable of absorbing the first hit from any attack.Of course, it begs the question, who made this?
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
We will keep this ship component in mind for future ship designs.
Implementing this technology will provide our fleet with a significant defensive advantage. While it may not withstand sustained assaults, this additional shielding could be the difference in surviving initial enemy strikes, giving us a critical edge in battle.It will be available in the ship designer. |
|
Encounter with the Sleeper Ship
Our flagship has encountered a mysterious sleeper ship drifting through space. Its chambers are filled with alien passengers in cryogenic slumber, on a course set for the deep core of the galaxy. The origin and purpose of their journey remain unknown.
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
Allow the Ship to Continue Its Journey
Respecting the sleeper ship's voyage, we choose to let it continue on its path to the galaxy's core. This decision upholds the sanctity of their mission, whatever it may be, but leaves us with unanswered questions about their origins and destination. |
|
Terminate the Passengers and Salvage the Ship
Choosing to terminate the alien passengers for the sake of salvaging any advanced technology on the sleeper ship is a drastic and morally questionable decision. While it may yield technological gains, it comes with the heavy burden of ending countless alien lives. |
|
Awaken the Passengers and Initiate Contact
Waking up the alien passengers to initiate contact could provide valuable insights into their culture and technology. However, this decision carries risks, as their reaction to being awakened prematurely and confronted by an unknown species is unpredictable. You gain a colony ship |

Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
Secure the plans.
Using the plans and power source, we can build a Core Tap on our core worlds, greatly enhancing our production capabilities. This advanced technology could give us a significant advantage but may also carry unknown risks. |
|
Sell the Plans and Power Source
By selling the plans and power source, we could make a substantial profit immediately. This option provides a financial boost but forfeits the opportunity to potentially revolutionize our energy infrastructure. |
|
Extract Resources from the Power Source
Extracting the raw resources from the unique power source could yield valuable materials for our current projects, offering an immediate practical benefit but losing the potential of the Core Tap technology. |
|
Ancient Library Satellite Discovered
Our flagship has stumbled upon a derelict satellite, an ancient library filled with unknown knowledge. Its origins and contents are a mystery, and it presents a unique opportunity to uncover lost secrets or technological advancements.
Choice | Outcome |
