Diplomacy is broken

BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

In regards to diplomacy, I find that the best sort involves lots of men with swords on horses. Or cannons.
I believe the Devil's Dictionary defines 'Cannon' as "An instrument for the rectification of borders," as fine a definition as any I've heard. Consider well the applicatiation of copious amounts of steel and gunpowder to your problem, followed by a handy dose of slaughter and maybe a bit of tourture here and there.
Remember, manical laughter is satisfying, but it leaves you vulnerable to erstwhile heros who manage to slip past your outer guards. ALWAYS carry a pistol crossbow, just in case you need to shoot some sword wielding punk in the head.

And finally, I have this to say:

I don't know whether you have woken up on the wrong side of the bed or something but there is absolutely no reason to be this rude to a newb to the forums, his posts aren't in capitals they aren't full of hate spiel and they ask why is diplomacy so stupid? which is a fair question. With a post like that it wouldn't surprise me if it got locked.

@ Corka I suggest you read this thread,

it may give you some answers as to why you are very untrustworthy, also if you really don't like the way the alliances work at the moment you can PM me and I will send you a little fix to the ai diplomacy file which will make the ai more trusting of you, although that won't fix your global standing, allies shouldn't go against you so easily.
