Diplomacy WTF

**Capital** · July 29, 2010, 01:26 AM

I perused about 10 pages back, and found some threads that hinted to problems in diplomacy but nothing concrete on how to counter the wars that seem to develop.

I'm a pretty passive player, but I absolutely despise the lack of units in M/H setting I prefer H/H except one thing...

Endless war, I mean come on I'm not doing anything and yet everyone is coming for my nuts. Is there anything I can mod, or something I can do to stop the world degrading into an entire fudge fest?

I guess I should give some examples, but lets just say everyone who isn't allied with me seems to get tangled into a war with me even if not directly, and getting them to make peace would basically be death by inches.

The first turn is fine, like before the AI gets a chance to do anything, but from there on its pretty evident that nothing I would have done would have helped, short of ceding my empire to them - Also, I've looked at the gift bonuses, not impressed especially early on when this problem happens, and I've looked at the penalties for conquering (Maybe by 1710 or something, but I just wanna breathe for awhile) and those aren't relevant here. Spying, not doing that either.

Anyways, in case you haven't already guessed I'm pretty ticked off by this whole thing and might have to play on Medium even though it would be atrociously easy as it was when I beat the game the first time.

I have no friends in real life, so maybe its something static I cannot change but seriously guys, can this be modded, changed at all - Has anyone found some special faction that doesn't just piss off the world by existing?

I just installed DM 6.1 and its still there, its still freaking there... But I figured Darth being a follower of darkness wouldn't have even dreampt of changing this nightmare. I'll just submit this and see what happens, *fingers crossed, all ten* I guess I better go head off that stack of militia before it gets too late, please HELP ME

I'm not to sure...
1. Because I have never really had that problem, or maybe I never really noticed it.
2. Because I don't have anything modded in ETW
3. I have not extracted any files from ETW yet.

BUT, I did kindda look around I what I THINK you have to do, I am not sure but I am almost positive...
You must extract all of the files from this folder...

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Then I think you can edit the diplomatic relations!
Maybe? Let me know if it works & remember to back-up the files!
