1.5 Diplomacy: even more broken than in 1.3...

[antisocialmunky]

Yeah, right... CA says, 1.5 is the final patch and things are working "as intended". Let me tell you that "as intended" part does not make any sense.

I tried playing France on NORMAL campaign difficulty just to see how things work "as intended" (supposedly without extra aggressive AI and AI's bonuses). Some 10 turns into the game, the GB declares war on France. This part was quite reasonable actually since they had a superior fleet and were able to land a full stack army into France in the same turn.

OK, some turns later, I have destroyed their invasion army; I have destroyed their fleet; I have taken London and there are virtually no British army left in the Isles. My main army is moving into Scottland and... I offer GB peace giving Lodon back to them. What I get in response is "time has passed for diplomatic niceties..." crap...

Come on. Their faction is about to be destroyed and I am offering them a way out ON NORMAL campaign difficulty...



p.s. I had an 8 star Prime Minister at the time and my king had at least 6 stars; so my diplomacy was not suffering due to lack of leadership talent.

We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender...
