4) To the end of the row showing his traits, add: " , NaturalDiplomatSkill 3 , SmoothTalker 3" (without quotation marks)

5) If you want to edit any of your other characters just go throught the character traits file and look what the code is, and add it to the descr_strat file. I also recommend changing your diplomat's age so he has maximum time for bribery

6) start a new campaingn and get bribing.
So are you saying that, when having a great diplomat, bribing can be done without emptying your whole treasury? And can these diplomats also bribe generals?

In the old MTW it was possible to give your generals certain titles. With these titles came certain traits. I enjoyed that and miss this aspect in MTW2. Concerning bribing, wouldn't it be realistic if you could bribe a general by giving him a certain amount of money and in addittion offer him a title? The importancy of the title and the amount of money needed for the bribe then ofcourse should correspond with the loyalty and traits/retinues of that general.
