I have found diplomacy in EB almost useless, only very rarely can I even get money out of the other party (they just refuse to accept an agreement that involves giving up money or they say they must decline the offer), most of the other times they will eventually say that they cannot accept the offer because they will not "be known as thieves"! Finally it is also rare to be able to bribe other generals. What is going on? Is their a solution to these problems?
