Changing starting diplomacy?

[joetheiceman]

Like if i wanted England to start out at war with the moors for example.

Descr_strat.txt is the file u want bro.
Scroll down to the very bottom of the file and paste this for example:-

faction_relationships 	england, at_war_with 	moors

The problem with that is if you aren't playing one of the two factions involved they will send a diplomat to negotiate a peace deal.

[Ishan]

Are u sure about this coz if u set the starting relations to -1.0 that is abysmal i doubt they will make peace until sort out their relations to like very poor or something.

Was a long time ago when i did this but if IIRC that is what happened.

Sorry for the double post.
Just setup a Vanilla game with these settings and a peace deal was brokered on turn 9, so it makes it all rather pointless doesn't it.
