Diplomacy Logic and Balance Katsuko

🕊️ Diplomacy Logic and Balance – by Katsuko

❗ Constantly Improved – Help Perfect It!
This mod is under ongoing development, aiming to refine and elevate diplomacy in Total War: Warhammer III. Every update brings it closer to perfection – thanks to your feedback and support!

💾 Save Game Compatible
No need to restart your campaign – this mod works seamlessly with existing saves.

✅ Compatible with All Other Mods
This is a diplomacy-only mod ⚖️ – it doesn’t affect units, visuals, scripts, or campaigns.
It works perfectly with major overhauls like SFO 🛡️, Radious ⚔️, and many more!

✅ Tested with Auto Resolve Rebalanced
Synergy with my Auto Resolve Rebalanced mod enhances realism by giving factions accurate battlefield value – which directly improves diplomatic behavior and decision-making.

🔍 What Does It Do?
This mod rebalances almost every core diplomatic factor, including:

• Treaty evaluations (non-aggression pacts, trade, alliances, vassalage)
• Relationship impact from war, betrayal, and broken deals
• Cultural, racial, and historical modifiers
• Smarter AI attitudes – no more instant trust between sworn enemies

🎯 Result: diplomacy feels more strategic, believable, and immersive.

📌 What’s New in the Latest Update:

🌀 Alliances are now unique and dynamic – everything depends on what's happening on the map, who is trading with whom, and who is at war. This means every campaign plays out differently, with no more predictable or repetitive alliance patterns.

1️⃣ ⚔️ Wars can't be declared from across the world anymore – distance now matters.
2️⃣ 🤝 Improved alliance logic – still hard to get, but now more consistent.
3️⃣ 🧠 AI evaluates strength, settlements, and proximity before declaring war.
4️⃣ 💥 AI avoids suicide wars – doesn’t attack stronger empires blindly.
5️⃣ ⚖️ Balanced war frequency – fewer unnecessary wars, less self-destruction.
6️⃣ 🕊️ Non-aggression pacts are more meaningful and realistically balanced.
7️⃣ 🔄 Tested in parallel with Auto Resolve Rebalanced – gives each faction fair combat weight, which feeds directly into diplomatic logic.
8️⃣ 🔥 Chaos logic reworked – to increase the threat and variety brought by Chaos factions.
9️⃣ 🎲 Scenario variety improved – more unexpected alliances or wars may emerge.
🔟 🏙️ You can now sell, gift, or purchase settlements from allies – or even from neutral/less hostile factions – for a fair price.
🔧 AI Stability Improved – Fixes a common issue from vanilla where AI armies could "freeze" due to illogical war targets or diplomatic deadlocks. AI now behaves more consistently and adapts better to changing situations.

⚖️ Why Use This Mod?
Vanilla diplomacy often felt random, unrealistic, or rushed. This mod brings order and logic by reworking the internal values that guide the AI.

🔧 [TEST VERSION] Lore-Based Aversion Overhaul
This is a test build of a diplomacy rebalance grounded in the official lore of Warhammer Fantasy.

Every aversion value in this version is manually adjusted to reflect historical enmities, alliances, and ideological hostility between races as depicted in books, army codices, and lore sources – not based on balance or gameplay smoothing.

🕮 Dwarfs still hate Greenskins. Elves don’t get along. Chaos is hated by nearly all – and rightfully so.

With this mod:
• 🤝 Alliances are earned, not handed out
• 🔪 Betrayals have long-term consequences
• 🧷 Vassals are harder to force
• 🧠 War declarations are based on reason, not RNG

🛠️ Always Evolving
This is a stable mod, but constantly evolving with each update.
If you notice anything odd – like factions acting too passive or irrational – leave a comment! Your reports and ideas shape future improvements.
