Diplomat

This [mod] add the Diplomat special unit. When a Diplomat is killed from an attack that is caused by another player, it will enforce a Diplomacy Card between both players.

This mod requires commerce to be enabled.

This mod automatically enables the Diplomacy Card if it is not enabled already. The automatically enabled card cannot be earned using normal methods. Automatically enabled card settings:

  • Num pieces - 1
  • Min per turn - 0
  • Weight - 0
  • Initial pieces - 0
  • Duration - 2

Game creators can customize:

  • How much gold it costs to buy a Diplomat (defaults to 25, min 1, max 40 - higher values can be typed in rather than using the number slider, there is no absolute max).
  • How many diplomats each player can control until they can no longer buy any more (defaults to 3, min 1, max 5).

To buy a Diplomat, go to Build > Diplomat. Diplomats can only be bought on territories that the player wanting to buy it owns. Buying a Diplomat can happen during any turn phase. If at the time the order is being processed, the territory to put the special unit on is not owned by the player wanting to buy the diplomat, no unit is bought and the player is not given their gold back. If at the time the order is being processed, the cost in the order is none or greater than the cost in the settings, no unit is bought and the player is not given their gold back. If at the time the order being processed, the number of diplomats controlled by the player wanting to buy a unit is greater than or equal to the limit, no unit is bought and the player is not given the gold back.
