I am really enjoying this mod so far, but there are a few things diplomacy mod offers that this mod lacks. I know this mod was not built around diplomacy so it'll be near impossible to implement the actual mod, but I think a few of the features in diplomacy should still be added to this mod.

1. Kingdom Culture - Right now I find it sort of limiting that your title determines what culture you have. What if I want to be an Archduke who uses Swadian troops? I think a Diplomacy style option to pick and change your culture (just by clicking on their name in a faction menu) would really make this game better.

2. Villages Recruiting your Culture - Currently in this mod when lets say the Sarranids conquer a Rhodok village, the village still supplies Rhodok troops. In Diplomacy, however, the culture of the troops changes with whatever faction owns the village. This would be very useful instead of having to travel all the way across the world just to recruit your faction's troops. It would make sense too, why would your faction be equiping new recruits with enemy weapons and armor?

3. Persuade Kings to Start Wars - Nothing is more boring than sitting in your castle all day waiting for a war to happen. It's been 30 days and the Vaegirs (my faction) haven't gone to war with anybody, I think this small feature should be added.

4. Patrols - Not a big feature, but having patrols would be nice, especially in Swadia where Cathars just wreck every farmer and trade caravan


I haven't gone too far into the mod to know if these features are in game or not but I'll list them in case.

5. Having your Wife join your party - Why not?

6. Lord Culture - Having your lords eventually switch to only recruiting your culture troop types, like if you have a Khergit culture then the only troops that your lords will recruit will be Khergits

I think that 1 and 2 are the most important features, and even if you can't add the full diplomacy mod to the game they should be part of the mod, either by using the codes directly from diplomacy or making new codes.
