Thanks for the info Yohei, never knew that.

In STW also there are three level of "talk" emmissaries do: when their clan thinks is better, when it thinks its equal and when it thinks its lower than the player's clan. I always thought that these were based in an "overall" performance index, similar to the one present in Rome, that takes into account military strength, development, wealth etc as in STW (and MTW) there are messages that inform upon whiich clan excels in each category.



PS The level of talk is felt in the way proposals are worded, and its really appropriate and funny.
