Hello all. Hours, days, months of pleasure from EB, this fantastic mod.

I've searched the forum though and have been unable to come up with a focussed thread dedicated to answering my question -

How do I build a strong diplomat?

I've never managed to engage in the lengthy negotiations that the manual suggests is possible in any of the Total War games.

Please can someone advise, or provide a link to a thread I've missed.

thanks!
