Your job is great and will be epic! but how many versions do you think there will be?
I think doing much small changings (not bug fix ofcrz) instead of doing few but huge is not good. I mean 'let's my barons buy new horse' in v.2.0.1.0 and 'buy a dinner for my lord-prisoner for +1 relation' in v. 2.0.1.01

Diplomacy is a diplomacy and conspiracy, making a plot or cabal. You know what I mean. The net of changings should be bigger and more important for political succes. Buing a dinner for prisoner or something like that (as it was in suggestions) is a good idea, but when every changings are not save compatibility, starting a new game and testing only one is going to be really hard work. Or maybe only I think like that

Anyway, Diplomacy is great now and as an idea! Keep workin' man!
Ah. I have asked once my 'husband' (fool, he don't know that I only wana use him, hehe - I am playing a woman) to buy a bread, and he tells me that I have to wait for merchant. Is it correct?
