I have been trying to understand how one aspect of diplomacy or perhaps more correctly faction status is handled within the db tables. for example:faction A let's say is marked as steadfast. faction A then becomes unreliable perhaps in several possible ways such as breaking a treaty. But where is that kept? I expect that that status must be kept in saves but where? Perhaps someone can also clarify how it is that a faction is 'penalized' if two of the faction's clients go to war and insist that the faction attacks the other client. thx
