Diplomacy

[Enfrijolada]

It would be great to have a kind of system to communicate with the other companies to generate agreements or strategic alliances. And that AI can communicate with each other in the same way. Some exemples

-Negotiation of discounts or lower prices if a certain volume is purchased
-Exclusive contracts for the distribution of a product
-Convince the distributor to distribute your product, if you give for example support in advertising or special prices.
-Negotiate an alliance to divide the costs of branding among all the companies involved
-To suggest for example a farm to also produce leather, in addition to meat, ensuring that you will buy them
-Negotiate that the company will sell you information about the technologies that it has
-Negotiate with an R & D company if they can do research on something and then buy your technology exclusively (outsourcing)

I think there may be many more examples but for now I can not think of them. This could bring the game closer to make it even more realistic enhacing the entry barriers and improve the difficulty of the AI

This is a fantastic idea, I don't enjoy the current diplomatic system in the game it locks down many options and forced the player to usually have to do it all themselves. Like buying tech is always a giant road block same as with shares and I don't get it.

I especially like the R&D outsourcing idea. This can make running a R&D or Software development company possible. Where the facility is being given revenue in exchange for working on a tech level item for another firm.

good ideas, i support a general version of this, i think finer details need to be looked into more
