I didn't buy ETW at its initial release but I'll take your word for it that the diplomacy was working.

Also, I've been modding my startpos.esf for a mod and I've found that removing regions from a faction's victory conditions will stop suicidal assaults against that region.
I wouldn't say I had any problem with them per se. Because there really wasn't anything to them. You could count on fighting everyone in a big brawl. Sometimes alliances worked, but it was very rare.

Diplomacy was working in the original release of ETW, but as many on this site have commented elsewhere, it was very powerful. You could get what you wanted without much trouble. Obviously, if you wanted a challenge, the diplomacy system was somewhat lacking, and I sympathize with that opinion. I still preferred the easy and working diplomacy system to the broken patched one, though.
