Giving alloys away.

[Skeletr0nKing]

When en empire I don't like declares war on another empire, sometimes if I'm pacifist what I do is give the defender tons of free alloys.

Is there any diplomatical downside, can the attacking empire somehow figure out I'm funding their enemy's fleets while pretending to be neutral?

Nope, absolutely zero consequences for funding their wars (aside from the fundee liking you more because of the positive trade).

I'm not sure how this would impact a multiplayer game, but I don't think that the AI players can change their relations with you because of it.

I'm not sure how this would impact a multiplayer game, but I don't think that the AI players can change their relations with you because of it.

It should realistically be almost impossible to figure out in a multiplayer game anyway. They'd need huge amounts of intel and to actually be checking relations at all, let alone between players that relations have effectively no impact on (and the trades won't boost trust, which they might actually check).

AI empires shouldn't care at all except the recipient, because they don't check relations. They do check certain pacts, so if you want to anonymously screw over one AI don't actually ally with the ones you gifted alloy to. They still won't figure out the alloy gifting, but they might rival you and/or attack over being allied to their enemy.
