'''Communication''' in [[Openfront]] allows players and [[nations]] to send each other emojis, predefined chat messages, and attack intents in order to plan for attack, defense, and ultimately the win.

== Sending Emojis ==
Players can send emojis to other humans or nations. Emojis sent between humans has no effect on the game itself. Sending certain emojis to a nation can affect the relationship score with them:

{| class="wikitable"
!Emoji Sent
!Score Change
|-
| 🕊️, 🏳️, ❤️, 🥰, or 👏
| +15 (easy mode only)
|-
| 🤡
| -10
|-
| 🖕
| -100
|}

== Emojis Sent by Nations ==
The table below lists game events to which a nation might respond with an emoji, and the possible emojis they might send. Note that a nation is not guaranteed to send an emoji in response to an event; many of them have a random chance of being sent, and they're limited to sending emojis no faster than once per 300 ticks.
