Default Re: Diplomacy Screen

There are alot of ways to accomplish it but yes it usually involves some sort of charming spell. In one game I was in I maintained an empty province near the capital that I could send a mage to so that the other guy could windride him out. In another I had my mages do transport spells dropping them into the trap-provinces. In yet another game we maintained border provinces that could be used to trade units.

One we meant to try but never got it setup before the game ended was when I had taken a really negative magic scale. I was supposed to send a sneak unit into his territory and "take" a province near his castle. He was going to make mages and walk them into it so I could do a binding spell. The big advantage was that I would have a lab full of mages that would be operating inside his majorly plus-magic scale.

Again I say that I think supporting creative play is more fun than offering menus of set choices like "ally shares everything" button.
