Diplomacy Questions

[Justin Stott]

Love the updates so far. I know it's still early with regards to the diplomacy in the game but I have a few questions.

I was playing a campaign as HRE and another HRE lord attacked me. I understand this is part of the game and he would lose favor with the king, which I think is an awesome element of the game. I was just wondering if this was going to be something that would happen often because it occurred pretty early on in the campaign. Maybe a higher penalty for attacking an ally if it's going to be common?

Second question. There are factions that have alliances with the HRE. A lord from one of those factions attacked me and when I checked diplomacy, our nation's still had an alliance. How does that work? Are alliances only determined by the kings and lords don't matter? Or is the relationship between the factions overall hurt by the actions of lords?

I hope my questions are clear. Love this game. Becoming the most badass medieval game.

Hey Justin,

Thanks for the kind words, and yeah - later this summer diplomacy will finally get to the the diplomacy.

First of all I must mention that there`s one related bug in-game - lets say you just conquered a town from another faction, and some army was on the way to attack this town before you conquered it. AI army is support to just find another target, instead it will display attack dialogue (if you choose auto-resolve, battle actually will not happen and AI army will march off to another target). We`ll fix this in the next update. And I got a feeling this might be happening with your own faction lord attacking you (we didn`t yet code that behavior).

The only way your own faction lords would attack you if your standing with your King is less than -9.

Alliances for the moment are simple place-holders that don`t really do anything (it just shows which nation was allied to what nation at the start of the game). Soon we`ll change that and add all the benefits of the alliance (being able to invite allied armies into battles on your side e.t.c)

Oh also if you haven`t yet, please consider reviewing the game:)

Oh, awesome! Thank you for the response. I figured things are just in their early stages. Yes, I left a review for the game early on (August 2017). I've only had good things to say :)
