=Relations=

Money is the lubrication that makes the cogs move in Mega-Primus. Organisations within the city expect a corporate environment conducive for generating lots of money ...until someone causes an interuption to the flow, which they then become a problem which needs 'fixing'.

== Basic Concepts ==

==Relationships In Mega-Primus==
−
 
+
Attitudes between two organisations can be normalised as:
−
The starting relations can be consulted on the [[Organizations]] page. Keep in mind that there is a random factor added to the relations during game start, which can cause slight changes on that table.
+
* '''Friendly''', '''Neutral''' or '''Unfriendly''': which means the either company does not concern itself with matters of the other.
−
 
+
* '''Allied''': where a company will concern itself with matters which have (if any) negatively affected their business partner.
−
Relationships in [[Mega-Primus]] generally follow these principles:
+
* '''Hostile''': where two organisations hate each other and will actively try to destroy not only the others wealth but also their very existance in Mega-Primus.

===The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend===
 
−
 
 
−
This means that if you attack Organisation A, which is disliked by Organisation B, Organisation B will be much friendlier towards you, and vice versa - attacking A, which is liked by B, will result in B disliking you. (Organisation A will obviously be unhappy with the situation either way!)
 
−
 
 
−
Trying to understand these relationships can be quite difficult at first (except for the pretty obvious ones like [[Megapol]] and the [[Aliens (Apocalypse)|Aliens]]), but there are ways to gauge how companies are relating to each other.
 
−
 
 
−
Reading the informational headlines that pop up on your information bar from time to time is a great way to see how certain companies relate to each other. Gangs in particular also employ direct air assaults on their enemies. Unfortunately, they tend to be overwhelmed by the defenders.
 
−
 
 
−
===Love Can be Unrequited===
 
−
 
 
−
A lot of these relationships are however one-way only. That is to say, if company A likes company B, this relationship is not mutually exclusive. Company B may feel indifferent or have a slight dislike for company A.
 
−
 
 
−
Case in point, every time an organisation gets fed up with [[X-COM (Apocalypse)|X-COM]] and refuses to accept cash settlments because you're attacking their 'alien friends', the aliens will not necessarily feel the same way about the rebelling company. The company may continue to get upset whenever you take action against the aliens, but they will quickly change their tune if the aliens turn on them and start destroying their facilities.
 
−
 
 
−
The Organizations tab on Cityscape shows their opinion towards X-COM. You won't be able to see X-COM's opinion towards them though -  for all intents and purposes, that's dependant on your own views.

===Some Friends Are Better Than Others===
 
−
 
 
−
Certain organisations are more important to stay friendly with or protect from alien infiltration than others. I'm sure it needn't be said, but do not bother paying out insane sums to keep the [[Cult of Sirius]] happy. It won't work. You obviously want to stay friendly with groups such as Megapol (otherwise expect random shootings in the cityscape) and [[Marsec]] if you intend on doing any business with them. The government is where you get that insulting amount of funding from, and despite it not covering your troops wages, any amount of funds are very much needed. Other factions to make sure you stay in their good books include anyone else you want to trade with. [[Transtellar]] is very important to keep away from the aliens, since if you lose their support you have no good means to transfer equipment between bases (and you will have to use your craft and agents to move things betwen bases).
 
−
 
 
−
In addition, bear in mind that, if hostile, Megapol and the three gangs are ''much'' more likely to raid you than the other organizations.

== Donations/Reparations/Bribes/etc ==
 
−
 
 
−
In Mega-Primus, money is the medium that makes the cogs move. A generous helping here or there will allow X-COM free to free themselves of the uncooperative companies that are obstructing X-COM from saving the city by withdrawing their services.
 
−
 
 
−
There are two occasions where you can offer money to a company to improve their standings with you. You can voluntarily offer the money to a company, or the company will demand that you pay them a tribute of cash. The second option only happens if the company is decidedly hostile towards you. The Cult of Sirius for example always do this in every new game.
 
−
 
 
−
Both of these methods differ in their purpose.
 
−
 
 
−
===Offering Money===
 
−
 
 
−
When you offer cash to a company, their standings with you will improve a level. Neutral companies can go to friendly, or hostile companies will continue to dislike but will resume their services (where applicable). They will specify the amount that they will accept for this to happen, and if you pay it they will respond in a positive manner.
 
−
 
 
−
Bringing a company to "friendly" through this method is a temporary affair - they'll quickly find reason to drop back to neutral, or in certain cases, hostile. These "short-term" allies can be abused - for example, if you bribe Osiron and are attacked by the cultists, Osiron will potentially become hostile to your antogonists. Even if they revert to a neutral status with X-COM shortly after, they will remain unhappy with the group that fired on it's "allies".
 
−
 
 
−
(And given the habit of the gangs to frequently vent their frustrations on groups they dislike, relations between them are sure to quickly spiral further downwards).
 
−
 
 
−
===Companies Demanding Money===
 
−
 
 
−
If cash is demanded of you, this means that you have insulted the company in some way that they want you to make reparation for it. When paid, the company's general disposition will automatically be set to neutral, with perhaps some lingering hostility.
 
−
 
 
−
Note that if you knowingly cause a lot of damage to a building owned by a certain company and you anticipate that they'll be asking for a settlement (such as dropping them from neutral to hostile after a UFO skirmish), do not in any way offer them the money until they come asking for it. If you pre-empt it and bribe them until they are allied, the request for money will still be issued. Once paid, their standing will return to neutral. Paying them again and then buying them back until they are allied means they'll be double dipping into your funds. If you choose to not pay them, this will add further insult and make matters worse.

== Companies Refusing X-COM Payments ==
 
−
 
 
−
There comes a time where a company will refuse these Public Relations Improvement Fund packages from X-COM. This can happen in two ways.
 
−
 
 
−
The first is through 100% alien infiltration. They become an alien-controlled organization, and so will not cooperate with X-COM.
 
−
 
 
−
The second is when a company loses faith in X-COM and starts to think that the aliens would be a better alternative. This generally happens if X-COM does a lot of property damage in both the cityscape and especially the battlescape. The Cult of Sirius is already at this stage when you start a new game. Note that while the company thinks this way, the aliens don't necessarily have to agree with it unless they are already friendly with the company involved.
 
−
 
 
−
When this happens, the only way you will be able to bribe companies in this state is when they ask for it. Beyond that, the only way to get them to like you again is to do something that'll make them happy. Such as outright attacking their enemies, or tricking the aliens to do such serious damage towards their property (in the Cityscape) that they re-think their positions.
 
−
 
 
−
Note that once a company starts behaving like this, they'll continue to do so even if you are the best of chums with them again. Also that due to an unfortunate selection of words, these companies will always refer to the aliens as their "friends" in the bribe screen. This is not necessarily the case.
 
−
 
 
−
==Relationships At Game Start==
 
−
 
 
−
As mentioned before, the initial relationships between organizations on Mega-Primus develop into dynatic and chaotic affairs as damage is inflicted to buildings and raids are conducted. It's quite possible for Megapol, for example, to ally with the gangs against the government. Moreover, there's a random element when the ratings are generated which makes each game start differently.
 
−
 
 
−
But it might be helpful to have a look at the initial alliances and feuds at the start of the game to have an idea how things can evolve. Keep in mind that there can be slight changes on the starting views of every organization towards others that can result in additional relationships in addition to those shown below.

<sup>1</sup> Mutant Alliance and S.E.L.F. are set to start slightly friendly to X-Com. However, due to the [[Agents_(Apocalypse)#Note|randomization]] that happens to every organization's value to another at start they might begin the game with a negative value towards X-Com.<br>

An organisation cannot be eliminated from Mega-Primus. They will always exist and will always be a problem if they remain hostile.

The main story, everything else is sideshow. Aliens will try to infiltrate the police and the Senate and if that happens either your money will run out or the police cars will shoot at you. Or worse - both will happen.

Transtellar usually starts the game sympathetic to the aliens and usually turns hostile towards X-COM because they'll dislike X-COM killing their friends, along with the property damage. This makes them very susceptible to infiltration, but it is possible to prevent that from happening through large denomination bills and a close watch on their buildings.

X-Com's attitude towards others is not shown in the chart below since the player is in control.

The rivals of Mega-Primus's military-industrial complex. Due to X-COM's ties with Megapol, Marsec will usually gravitate towards a Unfriendly/Hostile attitude which hinder access to their advanced weapons.

There are two sliders for each corp regarding relations (four sliders in total). The top slider of the each pair is dynamic. It moves when a positive or negative aspect impacts the two corps in question.
 
−
* eg: if Megapol accidently flattens a Superdynamics large flyer factory, then the top slider of the pair will move left (closer to 100% hostile) to denote Superdynamic's anger towards Megapol. Megapol might remain indifferent if it were accidently destroyed.
 
  
−
The bottom slider of the pair denotes predisposed attitude between two corps. This does not change as it is a bench mark which each corp will use against the other.
 
−
eg: (same as above example) Superdynamics' hate towards Megapol has increased. SD might ask Megapol for monetary compensation to bring back relations to their formal state. If Megapol doesn't pay up, then raids and/or illegal flyer activity could be an outcome towards Megapol from Superdynamics, or from their allies.

Relations

Money is the lubrication that makes the cogs move in Mega-Primus. Organisations within the city expect a corporate environment conducive for generating lots of money ...until someone causes an interuption to the flow, which they then become a problem which needs 'fixing'.

Relationships In Mega-Primus

Attitudes between two organisations can be normalised as:

  • Friendly, Neutral or Unfriendly: which means the either company does not concern itself with matters of the other.
  • Allied: where a company will concern itself with matters which have (if any) negatively affected their business partner.
  • Hostile: where two organisations hate each other and will actively try to destroy not only the others wealth but also their very existance in Mega-Primus.

Relations At The Start

1 Mutant Alliance and S.E.L.F. are set to start slightly friendly to X-Com. However, due to the randomization that happens to every organization's value to another at start they might begin the game with a negative value towards X-Com.
An organisation cannot be eliminated from Mega-Primus. They will always exist and will always be a problem if they remain hostile.

Representation Of Attitudes

Category Relation Score
Allied +75 to +100
Friendly +25 to +74
Neutral -24 to +24
Unfriendly -49 to -25
Hostile -100 to -50

X-Com's attitude towards others is not shown in the chart below since the player is in control.

Modifiers

  • Numbers listed in bold do not get modified at game start.
  • Any organisation listed cannot hate itself. They will always be +100 (allied) with themselves.
  • Aliens and X-Com wil always be hostile -100.

The calculation used for modifying the final relationship corresponds to the Difficulty:

  • 0=Novice, 1=Easy, 2=Medium, 3=Hard, 4=Superhuman.

1. Attitudes are randomised +/- 10 for Normalised Relations (see chart above).
2. Attitudes (except X-Com) are randomised better or worse, limited by (5 x Difficulty).
3. Attitudes (except Aliens) are randomly worsened, limited by (5 x Difficulty).
4. Attitudes between Organisations are randomly improved, limited by (3 x Difficulty).
5. X-Com's attitude to all others is then modified depending on Difficulty:

Difficulty Modifier
Novice 0
Easy +5
Medium 0
Hard -5
Superhuman -10


The Chart: organisation at left likes/dislikes organisation at top, by value.

Friends And Enemies

  • Any relationship may be one-sided. If one corporation likes/hates another, that same attitude may not be the other corporation's attitude to the former. eg: the Aliens are indifferent (neutral) to Cult Of Sirius but the cultists revere (allied to) the aliens.
  • Organisations which have a particular attitude of each other may not have the same attitude towards others.

eg: Psyke and Transtellar are hostile to each other. Transtellar is hostile to Cyberweb but Psyke is only unfriendly to Cyberweb. Cyberweb is hostile to both. If Cyberweb attacks Psyke, Transtellar will view that attack on their enemy (Psyke) as a positive action by Cyberweb. Transtellar may now have have a slightly less hatred for Cyberweb! ...basically:

The enemy of my enemy is my friend

Keep Your Friends Close

Is it important to remain on good terms certain organisations which provide X-Com with a needed service or who provide goods on the market. The most important non-hostile to have is Megapol. If they are hostile they will attack your crafts whenever they approach any policecar or will be chased by police hovercars if you get close to whereever the hovercar(s) is parked.
If Megapol is hostile to others which provide Goods And Services to X-Com, those transport crafts (Air-Trans and Auto-Taxi) will be targeted by Megapol for destruction ...no refunds!

Buying Better Relationships

Relations may be repaired towards a more positive attitude for X-Com regarding any organisation which is not allied to (alien friends) or under control by the aliens.

Offer Cash Settlement

X-Com may offer a cash bribe donation to a company which will improve X-Com's relationship to a more positive attitude for every bribe until that organisation is allied. The relationship changes to the next positive level. eg: unfriendly to neutral, neutral to friendly, etc. for each offer made by X-Com.
The amount of the cash offered will depend on how many extra relation-points (which are unknown) are needed to upgrade to the next level.

  • Is always available to attempt, but may not be accepted. Organizations that are allied to the aliens will always refuse since they are alien friends.

Diplomatic Rift

X-Com may be demanded suggested to make a payment to an aggrieved organisation to reset relations to a neutral level.
Caution: Buying off (offer cash settlement) any organisation that X-Com has annoyed may be a waste of money if the company demands a compensation payout in the near future. Paying their demand will reset relations to a neutral level irrelevant to which relationship level you achieved with your donations.

  • Is randomly 'offered' and only from hostile organisations.

Cult Of Sirius

The Cult Of Sirius may demand compensation from X-Com due to killing aliens. This temporary relations boost allows 'certain raiding actions' without their usual hostility ...until more aliens are killed.

Forced Diplomacy

A cityscape option of easily turning friends into enemies by using their friend's crafts to forment trouble.
