Diplomacy

All kingdoms would begin by having a default diplomatic relations status of “Neutral” with every other kingdom. However, a Regent could change his/her kingdom’s diplomatic relation status with another kingdom from “Neutral” to either “Friendly, “Allied” or “Hostile”.

Changing diplomacy relations

A Regent may be able to manage diplomatic relations towards a Kingdom through the correspondent Royal Palace function.

There are four types of diplomacy relations:

• Hostile: This relation is the worse that two Kingdoms can have. Access to both Kingdom’s territories are denied, commerce relations are stopped, war can be declared.
• Neutral: The Relation between kingdoms is neutral, commerce is allowed without particular advantages and traveling is allowed.
• Friendly: This relation should be used among kingdoms that want to have favourable economic relationships but not being obliged to assist in case of war.
• Allied: This relation is a strong one. Being allied means following and support the ally in case of war.

Since Release 2.8.8 (Oct, 30th 2016) each Kingdom can only declare up to two kingdoms as their allies.

Conditions

Conditions to change a diplomacy relation:

1. A piece of paper and a wax seal are needed
2. The target Kingdom must have a Regent
3. The relation must not have been changed in the last 15 days.

  A just crowned Regent will be able to change Diplomacy relationships immediately.

Being two-ways, relationship changes do not need to be accepted.

Effects of a diplomatic change status

Changes on Movements

Diplomacy Relations affects movements. A citizen of a Kingdom cannot travel in another Region is this Region is owned by a Hostile Kingdom.

In the Example above, Kingdom of Savoie (color: red) is Hostile to Kingdom of Genoa (color: green). A citizen of Genoa Kingdom therefore:

1. Can't travel from A to C (1) (2)
2. Can't travel from A to B with fasttrack paths (the fastrack crosses a Savoie Region) (1) (2)

(1) Unless he is already in Kingdom B

(2) Unless he owns an access permit given by Savoie Regent

In addition, when Savoie is attacked by Kingdom of Genoa, citizens of Kingdoms that are Allied with Genoa will not be able to access Savoie Region regardless of their Kingdom Diplomacy Relations with Savoie.

Changes on War System

Applies to: Conquer Owned Regions, Raids Does not apply to: Revolts, Conquer Independent Regions.

Effects on Declaring War

Only if Diplomatic Relation Kingdom A => Kingdom B is Hostile, Kingdom A can declare war on Kingdom B, but not before 72 hours the Diplomatic Relation has been changed.

Cost logic

Conquers of Owned territories and Raids costs are fixed: 2000 silver coins.

Joining Factions

In case of an attack to a Kingdom there are some Rules to join the Attacked or Defender Faction.

Number of attackers

The number of attackers participating to a battle it's unlimited. Citizens of attacking Kingdom or Allied Kingdoms may join the Attackers Faction.

Number of defenders

The number of defenders participating to a battle it's unlimited. Citizens of defending Kingdom or Allied Kingdoms may join the Defenders Faction.
