Author Topic:   Info on Enemy/Other Factions

I was wondering if it is possible to know what the other factions dispositions are towards each other? I haven't been able to find out a way to do this even though I've had the Empath Song project giving me full infiltration. So... Can you determine if, for example, Miriam is "Seething" towards Dierdre? Also, can you determine what the diplomatic status of each is to the others? e.g. vendetta, pact, etc.
Thanks!
p.s. If the appropriate answer here is "Read the manual, you moron!", let me know what page. I've looked, but w/no index I haven't had any luck.

Click on commlink, right click on the faction name, and select "Faction Profile".
I am not sure if it's on the manual or not though. I got it from the infinite wisdom of this forum.

You can also try sending in a probe and using the "infiltrate data base" option. This will give you a good idea of what the faction in question is doing

"infiltrate datalinks" has one of the bigest bugs in the system! I feel the eternal stream of information is very unbalancing. i always select "display production with city name". when I infiltrate, i also see the enemy's production. for the rest of the game????
Either make the effects last only 5 or so turns, or make the risk worth the prize. Elite probe only, 51% sucess rate, 49% survival rate.
logic: it would be most risky to install an untraceable continous data transfer device, and recruit enemy citizens to plant the same device in all the other cities (you see all enemy city's production).
OR (but would prob be hard it implement)
the effect would wear off as each enemy city completes the item in the production box.
