Diplomacy!

[Kryme101]

Has diplomacy been changed in this? or updated or something? cause i just cannot conduct any diplomacy of any kind! i was just playing as Chosokabe, and allied myself with Hatakeyama so i had a reason to declear way on Miyoshi, after i allied with them everyone hated me, i couldnt trade, i was getting DoW left and right, when i tried to make peace with people no one would accept anything i was offering, so after a couple more turns i got all my ports and trade ships destroyed and got invaded by Oda with two armies as i was fighting Amako, i tried bringing my army back to help but as i was crossing the sea i got attacked and my ships and army were destroyed which ended the game....i then went on to play Oda and it was the same thing no one was accepting anything! ugh its really annoying me anyone else had trouble? i've never had it this bad before

Hmm an alliance with the Hatakeyama is never really a good idea because their territories are split all over the map and hence they are likely to be at war with several factions at once so these factions will also hate your guts as a result and the Hatekeyama will drag you into a lot of wars.
If im not wrong too, Miyoshi is an initial trade partner with the Chosokabe and i believe you get some kind of penalty if you attacked them before a certain amount of time is up due to the trade agreement/ or otherwise the miyoshi has good relations with other clans on the mainland.

As for Oda, their damiyo starts out with the dishonourable trait which is an automatic -10 to all diplomatic relations but as the Oda, there is not need to be diplomatic with words, show them your spears and they will be frightened to coercing to a trade agreement! (i.e make yourself ultra strong by spamming Long Yari and clans will be frightened of your power!)
