Short Question: I tend to play displomacy game. Which difficulty should I choose in vanila ?

[Sumonious]

Please share your thought. I did find some former threads about difficulty effect, but it want an extend suggestion.

Btw my computer (actually, my friend's computer) can run properly with very huge unit scale and high setting in graphic. But occasional I occur a situation where I force the AI to breach my wall through 1 stairs (the amount of stair brought by 1 unit only). Usually they gather a whole army to bottom of the stairs, forming a super concentrated mob and my frame start to lose rapidly and continuing that battle means that I would have to watch slow-mo TV all the time.
My question is: should I stop using huge unit scale or start pasting the path ?

If you want to have a nice diplomacy with Vanilla play ion Medium for campaign or the Mod Lands to Conquer

I think that Hard is the best diplomacy level, not to easy, but still diplomacy works good.

No it's medium because starting on Hard and very hard settings it is scripted in the game to make your Reputation and relationships with other faction deteriorate. The player gets a penalty decrease on each turn.

Yes I know, but I still think the diplomacy is the best at that level. If you have good reputation you will easily have your relations go up, and its not to easy to create alliances. If you get bad reputation, your in trubble. Its also hard to create alliances with muslims.

In my personal opinion you shouldn't, as the diplomacy is bugged,

Example: I conquered all of Europe minus southern Iberia, and had most of Africa, full stacks out side the moors and city and they still wouldn't become vassals.

Dont you know that doing all that cause so bad reputation that noone will ever have diplomacy with you?

Have a look at my guide click on my Signature " The Great Informative Thread" there is a couple of my guides and one of them is actually Vassals and I must say that it works fine for me and everyone that has tried it

1. In vanilly, use medium, as suggested. However, it is really flawed even then. If you want to play a diplomacy game, try a mod, like Lands to Conquer. But even then it's annoying that you are not able to get a ceasefire as soon as you hold some enemy territory. Once you start invading another faction, you won't get peace until they are vanquished.

2. Pathfinding is even more annoying with huge unit sizes. That's why I play with normal sizes. Many mods improve pathfinding, so it might be possible to play with larger units sizes then.
