Suggestion: Battle Diplomacy update for M2TW

**Sorkenlol** · August 16, 2008, 09:56 PM

I've just watched braveheart and kingdom of heaven, and in both movies the kings/leaders of the armies meet in the middle of the battlefield to discuss their terms. I think this would be a pretty good improvement for TWC, diplomacy, but in the battlefield, between the leaders/kings. If you have a much bigger army, and a higher chance to succeed, you can demand something in return for withdrawal, for example. But of course, if it's implemented, it's all up to you how it will work.

Oh, while watching screenshots of the new game "Empire" I saw that it's 17-18th century, it won't work as I thought in that case, I thought it was going to be another medieval game. Well, if you're adding any updates to the old games, keep this in mind if you're interested. This was not meant for Empire.

Because 18th century armies generally weren't led by the monarchs and ministers who determined diplomatic policy. It wasn't within the power of generals to reverse a political decision of the national leadership by negotiation on the battlefield.

Yes, the thread was originally meant for M2TW, and not for empires, my bad.
I was thinking it could of been implemented in a patch/update for M2TW.

Okay, so we'll move it to M2TW general then and change the title a tad to avoid confusion.

Well, its not going to be in a patch. I don't know of any new patches coming out for M2TW and even if there are, CA never add new features into their patches. And I'm fairly sure, unless we had a scripting super-mega-God, we wouldn't see it in a mod.
