Diplomacy

Diplomacy is a type of resource in Stronghold Warlords.
==Overview==
Diplomacy is a virtual resource that is accumulated slowly over time, as well as produced by certain diplomacy buildings, like embassies. 
It can be spent to bring warlords under the player's control and pay Warlords for executing their edicts. Warlords can also be upgraded one rank, opening up new edicts and possibly improving on existing ones. Upon executing an edict or upgrade, the required amount is deducted from the player's balance.
== Diplomacy buildings ==
The embassy, consulate and other diplomacy buildings generate Diplomacy at a steady rate, once connected to the player's keep. The provided Diplomacy is based on the number of civilian buildings in their radii, with more expensive buildings providing a greater effect and a greater radius. Each diplomacy building can only be sited once.
== Diplomatic takeover ==
When a warlord is initially neutral, a set amount of Diplomacy must be spent in order to demand his obedience. After that, warlords can be taken over in diplomatic means by achieving diplomatic majority. 
Each player can regularly spend Diplomacy at a warlord's screen in order to gain and maintain influence. The required amount depends on the warlord, generally with the first player hitting the threshold first. This does not always hold true however, as a player must attain their majority long enough for the warlord to flip control (which can always be wrested away by another player), while influence also decays over time.
