DIPLOMACY PAGE

* = British Commonwealth, see Rule 15.3

CASUS BELLI: Certain random events or in-game actions may cause one or more nations to have 'Casus Belli' against another nation. If you have Casus Belli against another nation and you declare war on it, you only lose half\par the normal morale for declaring war.

examples: Anyone invades Belgium, UK has Casus Belli. Archduke Franz Ferdinand Assassinated: Austria has Casus Belli against Serbia. France and Germany have Mutual Casus Belli and so on...

TREATY WITH THE DEVIL: Some nations have 'natural' enemies. If you form a treaty with him you gain half the normal morale points but if you break it later on, you only lose 50% of the normal morale loss. This can be cumulative with 'Casus Belli'

example: Germany and France form a non-aggression pact. each gain 1.5 morale instead of 3. Later on France declares war on Germany. France only looses 7.5 morale instead of 15.

NON-AGRESSION PACTS: You can not sign a non-aggression pact with a nation that it is impossible for you to attack.

example: Serbia can not form a non-aggression pact with Afghanistan.

NPC DIPLOMACY PROCEEDURE, EXPLAINATION AND TABLES

Players nations can not attempt diplomacy with any single minor more than once each
turn.  There is no limit to the number of minors a player nation may attempt diplomacy with each turn.

Cost for each diplomacy attempt is $30 deducted from your treasury.

Each minor nation has a starting point (Diplomatic Status) as to how much it
likes or dislikes a player nation on a 100 point scale.

Each player nation has a starting Political Effectiveness (PE) based on how
well its Foreign Ministry is and how influential that nation is in
diplomatic circles.  PE is a modifier to the die rolls.

Every minor nation has a 'National Attitude' towards each Player nation.
This modifies the die rolls positively or negatively.

Then a 1D10 is rolled and added to this.

Thus, the formula is:  PE + National Attitude + 1D10 die roll = result.
The Result must be 9 or greater for a successful attempt.
If the attempt is successful, I roll another 1D10 and this is how much the
target minor moves towards the player nation.  (or away from another).
Players must declare before the attempt is made if they want to 'move' a
minor closer to them, or attempt to move it 'away' from another specified
player..

Once a minor reaches diplomacy level 5 it can not be effected positively towards you until
peace is made.  Then all attempts are at PE-3.
Once a nation reaches level 96, It is 'controlled' my the major power that got it
there.  It stays in an alliance with that controlling power until it reaches
20.  It may not be effected by any diplomacy if it enters a war.
