hi everyone,

ive been wondering for a while weather you can actually maintain a strong relationship with another faction for say atleast about 30 years, i have a coupple of questions i need ansering

1. are you more likely to maintain a alliance with some civilised nation ( Greece, Macedonia, Egypt, Romans etc. etc.)
or more likely with tribal people (Gaul, , britania and germania?- or is their no difference at all

2. does the said diplomats skill affect how strong an alliance is

3. does doing certain things ( gibing big gifts of money) change the likely hood of betrayal

4. does previous track record history, say you previous murdered their leader affect the alliance?

5. does them being in a said region affect there outcome of an alliance ( say Gaul where in Egypt or in Greece will it change the effect of the alliance)

6. finally, any tips
