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 generally follow a very simple principal: The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend.  
==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.


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.

<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.


Trying to understand these relationships can be quite difficult at first (except for the pretty obvious ones like Megapol and the Aliens), but there are ways to gauge how companies relate to each other.
==Representation Of Attitudes==

|-
|Allied||+75 to +100
|-

|Unfriendly||-49 to -25
|-
|Hostile||-100 to -50

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


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.  
====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'''.


Case in point, every time an organisation gets fed up with 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 calculation used for modifying the final relationship corresponds to the Difficulty:<br>
* '''0'''=Novice, '''1'''=Easy, '''2'''=Medium, '''3'''=Hard, '''4'''=Superhuman.<br>
1. Attitudes are randomised +/- 10 for ''Normalised Relations'' (see chart above).<br>
2. Attitudes (except X-Com) are randomised better or worse, limited by ('''5''' x Difficulty).<br>
3. Attitudes (except Aliens) are randomly <u>worsened</u>, limited by ('''5''' x Difficulty).<br>
4. Attitudes between Organisations are randomly <u>improved</u>, limited by  ('''3''' x Difficulty).<br>

May want to include a general map of the like/dislike chart for the very start of the game. It's imposible to map this out for later stages on account of the wildly unpredictable public relations that can happen during the game.
==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.<br>
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:<br>
 
'''The enemy of my enemy is my friend'''
 
==Keep Your Friends Close==
Is it important to remain on good terms certain [[Organizations|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.<br>
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 [[Alien Infiltration (Apocalypse)|under control]] by the aliens.
 
===Offer Cash Settlement===
X-Com may offer a cash <s>bribe</s> 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.<br>
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 <s>demanded</s> suggested to make a payment to an aggrieved organisation to reset relations to a neutral level.<br>
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.
 
===[[Cityscape_Fighting_(Apocalypse)#Bombing_Buildings|Forced Diplomacy]]===
A cityscape option of easily turning friends into enemies by using their friend's crafts to forment trouble.

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.

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.

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.
