What is popularity?
Popularity is a score that AI give to you. If your popularity is low they will declare war on you. This counts for computer countries but also inactive players that are taken over by AI. As the inactive players tend to have a lot of troops we want to avoid that they declare war on you.
Diplomacy with AI is very important. When you are fighting a challenging player the last thing you want is being attacked in the back by a player gone AI that declares war on you.
AI never eat, never sleep and they never stop attacking. For many players they can be hard to manage so it's better to keep that flank safe and keep on good terms with them.
So how to keep your popularity high?
First thing you do when you start a new game is to give all AI shared maps. O After day 4 every player that goes AI, I give ROW. Don't give an inactive player AI shared maps as in case he comes back he can see everything you do which is best to avoid. Don't forget to cancel the ROW to peace for returning players.
When you have adjusted all diplomacy settings with AI you do the following:
1st of all the more you trade with them in the market the more friendly you will be to them.
2nd don't skip steps in the diplomacy. If you are at peace, always give trade embargo first and declare war 24 hours later.
3th never attack without declaring war. If you attack without declaring war you get a popularity penalty of -25%.
4th declare trade embargo before declaring war.
5th declaring war to and attacking unpopular nations that AI already declared war on helps your popularity too.
Actions that improve your popularity with AI:
- being enemy with their enemies
- being friends (good diplomatic relations) with them and their friends
- trading with them
Actions that decrease your popularity with elite AI:
- having peace or better relations with their enemies
- having bad diplomatic relations or war with them or their friends
- starting new wars without declaring them
- when producing a lot of troops while already being unpopular
- having troops in their country without right of way
- getting your spies caught by them
- by having the largest army
