Zone of influence

**Lucio Domicio Aureliano** · 01-23-2009, 12:51

Rome was not build in one day and neither should we. Is it possible to implement zones of influence? Say, if you attack the city X and other faction has claims on this region, you would have to withdraw or accept war against the other faction. Or, at least, your relations if the other faction would be severely worsened.
Better yet, if somehow by diplomacy or other way we could make the Y faction abandon their claims on our next target.

You're telling us not to build ourselves in 1 one day?

I don't think this is possible with the MTW engine.
It can be implemented by script to a certain measure. Even stronger, it is implemented by the script in EB, the allied cities script.
I doubt it can go much further than that, more scripting would only enlarge the already gargantuan EBBS.
The diplomacy part is AFAIK not doable, Total War and diplomacy just don't go together I'm afraid...

Yeah I know, I was only joking. Sorry for that.

It is a good idea, but I'm afraid it is only wishful thinking.

Sorry for spoiling your joke. I thought i made a mistake because my english is not very good.
As for the zones of influence i believe i saw it in another mod but it´s probably due to script
