3 quick questions

[Valiant.x]

1. What diplomacy does this use?

2. Has the squalor and distance to capital been tinkered with? Distance to capital is stupid n if any1 could tell me how to slightly reducde it, i'd be grateful

3. Does this mod use the early general/capital skin mod?

Hi Valiant X,

1. vanilla diplomacy
2. actually I will even slightly increase the squalor because of the capital distance, because I think it is a good way that the human player can't expand too easy into very far regions.
However, if you want to reduce this effect, you can open the "descr_settlement_mechanics.xml" (in Stainless_Steel/data) and look for the lines:
<factor name="SOF_DISTANCE_TO_CAPITAL">
<pip_modifier value="1.0"/>
<castle_modifier value="0.4"/>
<city_modifier value="0.7"/>
You could just lower the number there: <pip_modifier value="1.0"/> .
3. I use only the early captains for my mod...

valiant, don't worry about diplomacy, seriously , why doesn't anyone even bother to try out 1.2 before talking. If you seen 1.2, CA has made many changes, for once, i'm impressed. However if you still want UAI, KK has also made a thread in the FAQ stickie

[Valiant.x]

i've tried the vanilla diplomacy i dont like it

[Mike13531]

then there is faq for UAI, do you want UAI?

Valiant is right brother diplomacy "is" important to survive at the begining of the game and tragedic times so better diplomacy is equal to better mod (in my opinion)

what i want is for bloody denmark n spain not to have half the map before 30 turns because they just attack n expand rapidlly!

Hi Valiant x,

I never seen denmark and spain expanding much in my games.
I think that is one very good point in vanilla diplomacy that it is very dynamic and the powerful factions seem to change in every game...

However, there are now two threads (also it is explained in the "SS FAQ, problems and solutions" thread) about how you can add Ultimate AI.
This should make diplomacy at least more reasonable...

[Valiant.x]

yeah diplomacy's fine. lol my bad. been playin it for a few hours. however the polish diplomats use an english accent and say "representing england" etc etc

[Mike13531]

oh ya, it's on the FAQ thread, russians also has english accent, in FAQ it tells you how to fix it. About Spain and Denmark, are you serious?? they are the weakest faction in mine!
