    Default Diplomats and Seiges

    Now I know that when another nation beseiges a city you can't use a diplomat to contact the besieged city fair enough....BUT (look dramatic effect) why can't a diplomat speak to the nation when your beseiging a city. What I mean is your own diplomat.

    Now I realise this is a minor issue but still you think that the enemy would speak to your diplomat in hope of peace or vice versa when besieged you would send out your diplomat to the besiegers to offer the city in return for peace.

    Now its probably not worth changing or possible but it would be nice as its a problem I encouter with crusading forces that successfully take a city miles from their homeland and you besiege the city.

    I agree, would be good to have it with battles too, to have terms.

    Superiour forces bullying a small army that cant hope to win could try to gain money or land out of it, or perhaps even loyalty (bribe)

    Captains could only give money or loyalty, but generals that are entitled to a province could offer that to be spared, perhaps their loyalty along with it.

    Such a cowardly general wouldnt be very usefull though of course.

    Sounds like a great idea to me :thumbsup4

    But would greatly add realism to the game and it would ofcourse make the game harder, which is good.
