Re: My ideas for other diplomatic options

If A gives res to B and B gives it to C (you), you will have a report that you got resources from B. We are already doing that.

We won't be showing who took your stuff if you come under attack. Otherwise people just exploit that all the time. If someone attacks you and steals your stuff, they will have to have survivors, have a surviving information mechanic alive to get that information and have to actively get that information with that unit. If a pirate wipes you out, you never attempt to gather info or you fail at gathering info, then you know nothing.
