What this mod does:
This mini mod (V 1.2) will allow you to force the AI factions to agree to your diplomatic proposals in EB v 1.2

INSTALLATION!:First, backup your files! Files that need to be backed up are:
Rome - Total War\EB\Data\text\EXPORT_ADVICE
Rome - Total War\EB\Data\EXPORT_DESCR_ADVICE

The files should be extracted into your Rome - Total War\ directory, allow the extractor to overwrite all files! Or just "drop" the EB folder into your
Rome - Total War\ directory, and allow all files to be overwriten!

TO USE!: In order to use the force diplomacy script, you must first hit ESC, then game options, then click the "Reset Advisor" button, then click the checkmark to close the scroll!

Then have one of your diplomats engage the AI, you must then click on the"?"
button, the advisor will apear, with text that reads "You can force this faction to accept your offer by clicking on the "show me how" button." If it says something about victory conditions, YOU HAVE DONE IT WRONG! START OVER!

Click on the "Show me how button",
propose whatever you want, the AI will now accept it, as long as it has it! The AI will not give you things it doesn't have(Like money).

This will only work one time per use, if you wish to force the AI again, you must start the process over!

This should be save game compatable. If you get a bunch of flashing boxes around all your cities, you can get rid of them by clicking on one of the flashing cities, clicking the "?" button, and then hitting it a few more times! Thats it!

If you want to set up a Forced Diplomacy for another Mod, this link has some directions. If you read the whole post, and are still having problems, feel free to ask here and I'll be glad to help.

[Warlord 11]

I just downloaded it. It seems to be working. Thanks for this great minimod!

[Velvet Elvis]

after use, do you have to reset the advisor in order to activate the EB script again?

Thx for this mod btw!!! Much needed... now I can 'recreate' all the punic wars :P

[The_Mark]

No, you don't have to.

[Jarardo]

Glad its working for you guys

[Dumbass]

Does it work with 0.81? Or just 0.81a?

[Dooz]

Very cool, thanks Jarardo. And thanks Dimebag!

[Sdragon]

I've tested it, doesn't work for 0.81 unpatched I'm afraid.

I tested too, and it does work for 0.81 unpatched.

Excellent. Thank you!

Bumping so it can be easily be found by new people, and since I, personally, find it quite useful.

I am having a problem with this, I can’t find my Rome - Total War\ directory
I just got a new computer with vista and I went looking for it,

My directory is CA not activation, but for the life of me I can’t find it and because of this I can’t use this mod, I am sick of my enemy’s refusing to submit! I want buffer states, protectorates and the ability to play factions off each other.

Please help me divide and conquer.

[Seden]

Same there, sound it doesn't work with alex.exe :(


Gaius Iulius Tabernarius : Have you tried searching your sys for rtw.exe ?

Go to your start bar, then all programs, then go to wherever your icon/shortcut is for RTW. Right click on the Icon that starts RTW, and click "Properties". On the properties screen, select "Find Target" and it should open up your RTW directory.

I cannot seem to get this to work at all, though I have followed the instructions to the letter. I extracted into my Rome folder, replacing the two EB files. Loading up my game I activate the EB script, hit escape, go to the game options menu, check reset advisor, click accept changes, click return to game, initiate diplomacy, hit the question mark and get only the faction victory conditions. can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Did you install it to the correct place? (The EB folder and not the vanilla folder?)

[DisposableHero]

Aha. I suspect this may be the problem. D'oh. Cheers.

EDIT: Nope, still no luck. Extracting into Rome - Total War\ merges the EB files, replacing the necessary ones. Extracting into the EB folder merely creates a second EB folder with the ForceDiplomacy files within the main one, naturally.

EDIT2: Interseting - and possibly related - point none of the 1.0 fixes I applied seem to work, either.

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

Do you have Vista and RTW is within the "Program Files" directory?

[DisposableHero]

Yes I do, and yes it is.

[Laevex]

Thanks for a hugely useful mod! Great for role-playing!

[Horst Nordfink]

Any idea if this mod works on EBv1.1?

[Jarardo]

It probably won't. If 1.1 alters either of these files:
Rome - Total War\EB\Data\text\EXPORT_ADVICE
Rome - Total War\EB\Data\EXPORT_DESCR_ADVICE
Then it wont work.

I'm downloading 1.1 now, and I'll get it updated as soon as I can.

[QuintusSertorius]

I hope it's not too complicated an update, so it's available soon. I really need to stop the green death and prevent Makedonia turning into a power in Asia Minor, rather than Greece.

According to some people, it works already in 1.1. I've backed up my files and I'll give it a try.

EDIT: It works just fine. I still do the usual save/load after switching settlements around, since it always seems to CTD afterwards if I don't.

[Reno Melitensis]

It works perfectly with EB 1.1.

[darkangel87]

I´m currently playing a Macedonia-campaign on EB 1.1 (RTW.exe) and I´m in the year 213 B.C. I regularly updated the EB 1.1-Fixes in my game and the campaign is running solidly. Is it possible to install the "Force Diplomacy Minimod" (although it is designed for EB 1.0) to my campaign without invalidating the fixes or crashing my game?

Thank you in advance for your answer(s)

Best regards,
Marcel

[darkangel87]

P.S. Should I install the version with over 100KB or the version with just 20KB from filefront?

I used it with rome.exe without any problem but of course you must count normal a CTD in every 20- 30 turns.

Now I am using the great mod of Ferromancer , BI. for EB. I tried to use FD with his mod but I even could not open my campaign no hoppe for BI.exe

[Alexander IV Aegus]

Is this mod compatible with EB version 1.1? I'm playing as the Romani and am really far into the campaign. I don't want to start a new campaign so is the mod retroactive? Btw my RTW is the gold edition with BI too. Will that be a problem as it wasn't with EB 1.1.
