could you elaborate on what diplomatic stance do? I think I got the first step, supply truce, I'm just not sure what it does?

After the first diplomatic message, the envoy responsible got 10000 exp, might be a bit too much xD

I keep getting the Supply truce with the same country every 5min, and something from all envoys. Should we be able to get the diplomatic stance multiple time? It feels unnecessary.

If by "diplomatic stance" you mean the "emissary stance" then it basically improves relations and gives boni the better relations are. If you mean "supply truce" then it lets you resupply from your ally's territory, i.e. you can march your troops through its territory and have not to worry about supplies.

I was pondering to also include some kind of exchange of recruits/manpower, if one side is in need of it and the other has enough of it. Might be to exploitable, what do you think?

Yes, and that's because I'm an idiot :-) I've used the max operation where I should have used the min one. I've fixed this now.

Yikes! I thought the "supply truce" would count as a truce and relied on that check, but no. I have just not tested this enough, since I was too sure about this. My bad. I have now introduced an additional faction attribute "ally", which will be set once you have a "supply truce" with a faction and which can be checked to ensure, that this comes up only once.

Thanks for reporting all this, Bdeslaurs! And thanks for your patience with me :-)

Sounds like a really interesting idea to represent auxiliaries troops or something of the sort. Of course, yes it might be a good way to get easy manpower and drain the other country of manpower before attacking.

have a great day, I will make sure to keep sending feedbacks next time I play

Just had a debug console call, here's the copy. Not sure what I was doing special, pretty sure I had envoys of the 3 stance unfortunately in one city and diplomatic in another.

Thanks for reporting! I guess one of the factions you were deploying your envoys to, had lost its capital city. Hence the code that referenced the capital city issued in a "nil value". Hopefully, this didn't mess up anything with your game? I have now included a check to ensure that the faction does indeed have a capital at all.

Unfortunately, the game doesn't reassign a capital to AIs. I've adressed this in my other mod "A.E.P.V.", but rather not reuse that code here again to have the mods be destinct from each other.

No I don't think it broke anything in my game. I removed all envoys from each faction until found which one it was and yes they had lost their capital.

I've actually changed my mind, and integrated that script here, too. Capital cities are just way too important for gameplay! :-)

Fine, then that should indeed be fixed, now.

nice, thx for the quick support

Mmh, line 20 cycles through the content of forts, line 52 is empty and line 688 is the very last line of the code (basically just "end"). So I'm not sure what is causing this. I have now included a check, that the code is not performed on factions that do not have any forts anymore, but this is just a best guess. I'm actually not sure this fixes anything, but as it also won't break anything, it's worth a try.

Three factions have no forts, my diplomats are stationed in three capitals.
