Diplomacy

Hi all,

there is huge problem with diplomacy in XGM mode.
I play with Greek City States and have ally with Selucids. They alweys attack me. I used "force diplomacy" to keep peace with them but they still attack. Also another countries attack Greeks. This is non logic sytuation. I'am in war with Selucids enemies and have ally with Selucid allys.

Diplomacy is the worst think in all RTW and MTW games. MTWII has relations paremeters but it's not working good.

Is there any mod wich solve this problem ?????

Playing on lower difficulty helps, as using the alex exe seems to do.
Other than that, just try to not border the seleucids...

That's just RTW diplomacy. It's hardcoded, so there are no mods with better diplomacy. In my Greek campaign(h/h) the Seleucids also betrayed me, but I was able to overpower them in Asia minor. Rhodian slingers, which can be trained at Rhodes when you build militia(not sure it's militia) barracks, are a good way to deal with the stacks of militia phalangites and thureophoroi the Seleucids send at you. Before they can send decent units you should have broken their might in Asia minor(and these regions will provide enough cash to conquer the Macedonians).

It seems dath only wey is to have strong army in cities... but it's very expensive. And its not the way to fix diplomacy.

I was reed on forum long ago that diplomacy is based on matrix. Thats computer players turns are so long espiecally in MTWII. Perhaps there is some way to change this mechanism? Rework in to something completely new.

Sorry for my broken English, I'm not specialist
