Diplomacy Log

Diplomacy Log

In this thread I, as Minister of Diplomacy, Trade and Science, will keep track of all diplomatic events in the game. For readability, I split the thread in three parts: a proposal log with all sent/received diplomatic proposals (which should be pretty much self-explanatory), a log of all noteworthy events from a diplomatic standpoint and an overview of the diplomatic situation at the end of each turn chat.

In the end-of-chat reports, the listing is the same as the Diplomacy Manager (F7) in CtP2, while the table is a summary of the Intelligence screen(s): it displays regard/strengh (both on a scale from 1 to 5, 5 being the highest)) that every civ has towards every other civs (proposals are not listed as that is too complicated to display properly; if needed important proposals will be listed in the Event log). To see what the German regard (and relative strength) towards other civs is, look at the 'Germany' row (horizontal). To see how other civs view the Germans, look at the 'Germany' column (vertical).

(reserved)

Locutus · February 6, 2003, 21:04

Updated (chat 6).

Note that the Austrians actuallyy have faith in us, while our armies are massing on their border

Also, the Thai made contact with the Indians.

Locutus · February 11, 2003, 19:02

Updated to chat 7.

Note how we made contact with the Scots and they immediately disliked us. Also, note how the strengh of Thailand/Germany went from 1/4 to 4/1...

Gilgamensch · February 12, 2003, 07:14

Excellent job Locutus, would like to see the same from the others

Only one 'little' complaint:

You think you could shrink it that it would fit on a normal 1024*768 resolution?

Reason being I always have to scroll sideways to see the rest......

Locutus · February 12, 2003, 10:30

Thanks. For diplomacy past actions are very important so it seemed wise to keep track of them.

It would indeed be nice if other ministers did the same for their areas as well, that way we might actually be able to learn from any mistakes we make

As far as resolution goes, that would be very hard. Originally I had everything in 1 table but that didn't even fit on 1600x1200. I cut it in three and now it should be doable, don't know how I could cut it down even further without making it too confusing to make sense off...

I changed the order of treaties and motivation in the 3rd table, but that's about the best I can do. Aside from the motivation, everything should be visible at a glance on 1024x768, and the motivation is the least important part of the table anyway. (And if you scroll left far enough to loose the part of the post with my name and avatar and stuff, most of the motivation is readable as well.)

Hey I always want to keep you in view, you never know with those Borgs

Have you tried with minimising the size/font?

And YES, I hope/pray that the other minister's might read this thread and will do the same

Pedrunn · March 20, 2003, 11:06

This thread is probably obsolte but was the best for this theme. What to do with the Germans. After all they broke an withdraw agreement... And they are in a imnent attack. If we do start a war with them what about the Austrians. I need to know this in order to make a good strategy.

Yeah but as far as they do not attack we have peace and I think we should wait until they attack or a second stack arrive, but we should have a second stack of 12 units outside of mapfipolis.
