Dynamic Diplomacy (No Friendship Bonuses)

-- Dynamic Diplomacy (No Friendship Bonuses)

The goal of this mod is to make diplomacy more dynamic and interesting. Based on discussions I've read and my own viewpoint, I think the primary factor in diplomacy should be the actions you've taken, and that agendas need to be a secondary factor. Diplomacy also needs to be more rewarding. This updated version fixes some early issues that the mod faced after the update.

I highly recommend ITcore's Immersive Texts mod to go along with this mod: http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=871120445

Tired of being denounced as a warmonger? I created a mod to remove the warmongering penalty for everyone but Gandhi: http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=877852279

Constructive feedback is greatly appreciated! hope you enjoy the mod!


==============================================================================
In order to reach the mod's goal, several changes have been made. The main ones are:

- Agenda modifications: all the modifiers for historical and random agendas have been set to have a maximum effect of 2 (Either positive or negative). Some agenda modifiers might still exceed this limit, but I'll be working on bringing them in line in future updates.

- Recreated agendas: certain historical agendas had to be recreated in order to get them to be modifiable. Unfortunately at present I wasn't able to fully recreate all of them and had to change some as a result. The agendas that have been changed are the ones for Barbarossa, Saladin, Catherine and Trajan. Cleopatra, Hojo and Harald had recreatable agendas. More information on the changed agendas is listed below.

- Diplomacy modifications: most diplomatic actions have had their impact and duration reduced. It should be easier now to make friends, and establishing trade routes takes on more meaning now along with gift-giving. Select diplomatic actions have been given more weight, for example, razing a city, liberating a city, declaring friendship with an enemy and denouncing an enemy. I'll be providing a comprehensive list of diplomatic changes soon.

- Agenda requirement modifications: while testing I noticed that it's easier to trigger the negative requirements of agendas than the positive ones, especially for those that require yield ratios (culture, science, faith, etc.). I've set most ratios to be require -2 for the negative modifier to trigger, and 1.2 for the positive one to trigger. In addition, I've set the palace to be a wonder, this helps Qin not get angry as soon as you've built a single wonder, and I've made Pedro and and Peter more lenient with their agendas.

- Agenda activation: by default, historical agendas activate 10 turns after meeting a leader, and random agendas activate after 30 turns. This has been changed so that historical agendas take 30 turns to activate, and random agendas take 50 turns.

- Replaced all random agendas with new ones: a series of new random agendas have been set. The aim is to make them more balanced in relation to each other, and now each random agenda has 3 possible positive modifiers, and only 1 possible negative modifiers. The goal is to make the agendas more conducive to friendly relations. More information is listed below.

- Warmongering changes: Declared friends will now ignore warmongering penalties, and warmongering penalties have been significantly reduced throughout the eras. The aim is to make warmongering have an impact on neutral civs, but not affect your relationship with declared friends so severely. The default levels were also extremely high based on testing that I conducted.


==============================================================================
This mod should be compatible with all mods except for other mods that change agenda or diplomacy modifiers, and those that change agendas.


==============================================================================
