Can you not keep 1.2 diplomacy in EB 0.8?

[-Praetor-]

So it is all about the way you play. You be aggressive from the start with ANYBODY, and diplomacy will be non existant. You be defensive and considerate, diplomacy will be somewhat bearable and realistic.

I`ve also noticed that symptoms on my campaigns, even when I play on VH...

So, maybe the Diplomacy is not alltogether dumb as we all think... nooone would make an alliance with someone you know it will make an agression to you... well, neither the AI.

Maybe we should study the diplomacy a little bit more, and try to understand it. In my EB game, playing VH-M, as Arvernii I`m allied with the Aeduii (which I kicked to their possesions in cisalpine gaul), iberia and sweboz... and I`ve played a "no first move" policy in my wars...

Whoops.

I attacked Macedon in my RTRPE campaign.

[Musopticon?]

I...eh, I used the excuse of Greeks taking offence over Pontus' attack on Sinope to break my Alliance with them. The "should we support the attackers?"(or somesuch) screen popped up and I sided with Pontus.

...what? I needed Peloponnesus for my anti-Roman offence! And they would have backstabbed me the instant I moved to take over the Illyrian provinces anyway.

Must be karma that the campaign died on reinforcement-ctds a turn later. Every town in Peloponnesus has a couple of units outside the city walls and I can't attack without being attacked by the reinforcements too. And I need the army, because Chalkis has a Macedonian fullstack ready to conquer a Epirote-free peninsula should I choose to autofight and lose, the Athenian army and mine are so equal that I nearly alwyas either lose or have horrible casultaties when autofighting.

Meh, I'll wait for 0.8.

I don't know about the rest of you, but one of the most useful things my diplomats do for me is to bribe eleutheroi units which I march into my cities and disband to create a larger population for creating more units.

[Atreidis]

What I find annoying in my Greek campaign is that no Eleuptheroi town accepts a bribe. I mean none!! Where is this world going i money don't bring gates down?
