Thoughts on Diplomacy

Maybe it should depend on the AI general stats, whether he is more strict and corageous, or thoughtful of his people. What you say Dan does make sense, but many people want to have a realistic experience from Total War.

I totally agree with Tiberius maximus.

I'm still on other side of this coin. Countless generals did historically fight countless unwinnable battles. Heck look at the fall of Constaninople.Surrounded, outnumbered by quite a few, besieged, starving, and asked constantly to surrender. Not only did they fight there king charged the battlefield (streets of the city). So yes I could see a last ditch hoo ha of attack.


I think though certain factors should be taken into account. Like while English would never surrender or become protectorate to a Muslim faction, they very well may accept terms of negotiable surrender if they keep there land, and have a bigger military brother.

My problem with protectorate is even when I did get one, it never worked, because they never were my protectorate, they never gave me jack

Well their lands did count towards your total provinces for the vistory conditions while there remained your protectorate...
