Solium Infernum

e following sections cover the diplomatic actions that you may chose.

.. D

is diplomatic action lets you send a message via the Infernal Conclave to an opponent, telling them they must

surrender something that you desire. Protocols regulate what you can demand as well as your available options, should

the enemy refuse.

e Cost: Making a Demand costs Prestige Points. e number begins with a base cost of eight, though it varies with

the diﬀerence in Infernal Rank between the two parties as well as the number of demands that the target opponent has

already conceded.

If your Infernal Rank exceeds your opponent’s Infernal Rank:

Cost = 8 – the diﬀerence in ranks – number of demands conceded

If your Infernal Rank is less than or equal to your opponent’s Infernal Rank:

Cost = (8 – (your rank / 2)) + the diﬀerence in ranks – number of demands conceded

Note: e Infernal Negotiations Ritual can increase or decrease this cost depending on which party performs the Ritual.

What Can Be Demanded: If your Infernal Rank is less than or equal to that of your opponent then you can only demand

Tribute Cards. e number of cards you may demand is limited by the diﬀerence in your ranks and the number of

previous demands you have already made. e fewer the demands made, the fewer the Tribute Cards you can demand. In

eﬀect, one can build a sense of momentum when making consecutive, successful demands. e more success, the greater

your current and future rewards.

If your Infernal Rank exceeds your opponent’s Infernal Rank then you have more options, and these options vary

depending on the number of demands you have already issued against this opponent.

First Demand: You can only demand Tribute Cards. e number depends on the diﬀerence in your ranks.

Second Demand: You can demand Tribute Cards or a random border Canton that does not possess a Place of Power.

Third Demand +: You can demand Tribute Cards, a random border Canton, an Artifact, or a Relic.

Opponent’s Options: Your opponent can refuse to accept your demand then claim the Prestige Points you spent to

initiate this Demand as his reward. A message will be sent from the Infernal Conclave to your turn log, presenting you

with the choice to claim Vendetta in response. (Your response does not require an Order Slot and, if you remember, will

process after all six Order Slots have executed.) If you choose to claim Vendetta, you will be prompted to wager Prestige

and then submit your claim to the Infernal Conclave. It will be approved on the following turn, and you are free to exploit

its correlating eﬀects.

Or: your opponent can accept your demand and give you what you want. Here, the Prestige Points you spent in

making the demand are returned to your pool.

e Waiting Period: If your opponent concedes, Infernal Protocols require that you wait an appropriate amount of

time before demanding more from this opponent (if only to allow the paperwork to clear and the gossip to die down a

bit). If your opponent is of the same rank or less, the waiting period is two turns. If your opponent is of a greater rank

than you, the waiting period is two turns plus the diﬀerence in your ranks.

Vendetta Trigger: If your opponent concedes to three demands in a row then you may claim Vendetta on him by

making a direct statement through the Infernal Conclave. is is accomplished in similar fashion as Demands (i.e.,

by creating an order for a Diplomatic Eﬀort on the Orders Tab of the Ministerium Interface). Once this option is

available, the game will show the choice in the aforementioned menu screen.

Note: e occurrence of a Vendetta between two players resets this “conceded demand” clock (that the game holds

in the background ) for both players. For example, if a demand refusal results in a Vendetta between to players, this

“conceded demands” counter is set to zero for both players, which makes the next demand essentially the ﬁrst.
