Classical Age: Total War v2.0 file

New in CATW 2.0:

How the Force Diplomacy Script works:
how to force the AI to accept a proposal :

First you must click the "?" in the upper right of the diplomacy box. Then you can force a faction to accept your offer by clicking on the "show me how" button.
This script is very useful to prevent the AI from breaking alliances.

• Standalone patch. All others included in this one.
