REQUEST: Foedus mod
Many of us rejoiced when we saw the diplomatic option "gift region" back in Attila TW... However, we soon noticed how dull and stupidly limited was its application in the game. I wonder if such option could be modded to provide a funnier, more realistic and historical diplomacy play... And here is where my request comes.
The foedus was the treaty stablishing that the Roman empire would give a territory -or its tax income- to a barbarian tribe in exchange of military assistance in the defense of the borders. This way the barbarians would become foederati soldiers of Rome. For more information about the matter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foederati.
In my opinion, the option "gift region" should be modded to represent the foedus, so the Roman player could give a region of his choice to any horde wandering inside imperial borders and, in exchange, he automatically obtained a military alliance with the newly settled barbarian faction. Besides that, it would be great if you could give or demand regions in regular negotiations as you could do in Empire Total War.
I am a total ignorant in the art of modding, so I don't know if my request is doable or if the diplomacy is too heavily scripted and changes are impossible... Well, let's see what the people say...
