Active project: computer diplomacy overhaul

The aim is to make computer-controlled nations react more clearly to the state of a campaign. Expansion, throne claims, dominion pressure, raids, and prolonged wars could produce warnings, grudges, defensive agreements, and eventually coalitions.

Status: concept and feasibility work. Development is paused while the limits of event-driven diplomacy and possible formation additions are investigated.
