- * <F4><C3> DIPLOMACY (F7)
- +
- + <F2><C1>
- + You can use diplomacy to talk to other races you have discovered. You
- - can discover other races by finding their planets or meeting their
- - fleets on the starmap. The options available to you through the
- - diplomacy screen depend on your relationship with the other race. If
- - you are at war, your choices will be limited compared to those
- - available when you are allied, If you are allied with another race,
- - their planets and radar range will appear on your Starmap, which is
- - very useful for expanding your knowledge of enemy ship movements.
