Default Re: Diplomacy and Trading

There is some programming territory also. Dom is not suited well for storing information and checking it over many turns. Setting up tracking for such would allow many things. Diplomacy, waypoints, repeat action for X turns, forge X of certain equipment, etc etc. But I tihnk it would take a level of change that speaks more of Dominions 4 than anything that we might get soon.

We could see some things though. In solo games Ive been known to create anti-undead items and send them to nations who are living near Ermor to hold them back. I know that the weapons wont help that nation much against me when I finally get to them. It might already be in the game that the AI thinkis abit better of you if you send gifts. If it isnt the it seems like that could be put in rather easily.

Also since the game already allows the AIs to ally with each other I wouldnt mind if it also allowed ally with human players. Even if it was something that had to be setup at the beginning of the game. It would allow for some interesting scenarios.
