Dynamic Diplomacy 1.5

Introduction
The goal of this mod is to make diplomacy more rewarding and dynamic. Based on discussions I've read and my own viewpoint, I think the primary factor in diplomacy should be the actions you've taken, and that agendas need to be a secondary factor. Diplomacy also needs to be more rewarding.

Note: I'll be posting an update later today to (2/12) to enable this mod to not require the Poland DLC, I'll update the installation instructions for it. I'll also be adding in custom leader friendship and alliance benefits, suggestions would be great.

Main Changes
In order to reach the mod's goal, several changes have been made. The main ones are:

• Agenda modifications: all the modifiers for historical and random agendas have been set to have a maximum effect of 2 (Either positive or negative). Some agenda modifiers might still exceed this limit, but I'll be working on bringing them in line in future updates.
• Recreated agendas: certain historical agendas had to be recreated in order to get them to be modifiable. Unfortunately at present I wasn't able to fully recreate all of them and had to change some as a result. The agendas that have been changed are the ones for Barbarossa, Saladin, Catherine and Trajan. Cleopatra, Hojo and Harald had recreatable agendas. More information on the changed agendas is listed below.
• Diplomacy modifications: most diplomatic actions have had their impact and duration reduced. It should be easier now to make friends, and establishing trade routes takes on more meaning now along with gift-giving. Select diplomatic actions have been given more weight, for example, razing a city, liberating a city, declaring friendship with an enemy and denouncing an enemy. I'll be providing a comprehensive list of diplomatic changes soon.
• Diplomacy rewards: Friendship benefits are now available; you gain benefits after befriending leaders (the bonuses are listed below, and can be found in game in the tool-tip for the leader agenda). Research agreements are now available after discovering writing. The only requirement after that is for the target to be a declared friend.
• Agenda requirement modifications: while testing I noticed that it's easier to trigger the negative requirements of agendas than the positive ones, especially for those that require yield ratios (culture, science, faith, etc.). I've set most ratios to be require -2 for the negative modifier to trigger, and 1.2 for the positive one to trigger. In addition, I've set the palace to be a wonder, this helps Qin not get angry as soon as you've built a single wonder, and I've made Pedro and and Peter more lenient with their agendas.
• Agenda activation: by default, historical agendas activate 10 turns after meeting a leader, and random agendas activate after 30 turns. This has been changed so that historical agendas take 30 turns to activate, and random agendas take 50 turns.
• Replaced all random agendas with new ones: a series of new random agendas have been set. The aim is to make them more balanced in relation to each other, and now each random agenda has 3 possible positive modifiers, and only 1 possible negative modifiers. The goal is to make the agendas more conducive to friendly relations. More information is listed below.

Installation

• Windows: Go to "My Documents", then "My Games", and then "Sid Meier's Civilization VI". There should be a "Mods" folder there, extract the zip file and place the folder in the mods folder.
• Mac: Go to "~/Library/Containers/com.aspyr.civ6.appstore/Data/Library/Application Support/Sid Meier's Civilization VI/Mods" and place the extracted folder there.

Note: If you would like to use the mod with the Poland DLC inactive, please delete the "dlcChanges.sql" file after installing the mod.

Enable the mod by activating it under "Additional Content" in the menu.


Making Changes
If you want to change the values for the turn requirements

1. Open the "slowAgendas" file in Notepad or another text editor.
   
2. On the fifth line, you can change Value="30" to another value to change how long it takes for most of the leader agendas to activate.
3. On the tenth line, you can change Value="50" to another value to change how long it takes for most non-leader-specific agendas to activate.

Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with all mods except for other mods that change agenda or diplomacy modifiers, and those that change agendas.

If you would like to use the mod with the Poland DLC inactive, please delete the "dlcChanges.sql" file after installing the mod.

Friendship Benefits
This update caps gift-giving at +5 maximum effect, but makes it so that gifts have a better cost to benefit ratio than the past update (so less gold for the same effect). It also adds what will hopefully be a great new feature, friendship benefits. Once I figure out how to make alliances tougher to get, I'll add benefits for those as well.

I'd like to say a special thanks to [to_xp]Gekko, Sun Ce of Wu and View619 for their feedback and suggestions for this feature.

To view the friendship benefits in-game, take a look at the leader's agenda tool-tip. I'm looking into including it in the diplomacy panel/making it clearer (thanks for the suggestion View619).

Here are the list of benefits that you can now get by befriending the leaders:

• Monuments gain +2 Culture

Cleopatra

• Granaries gain +1 Food

Future Updates
Feedback would greatly appreciated, I've tried to test these changes as extensively as possible. I'm considering creating custom, fixed agendas for each leader to make them have more character, but might add that as another mod.

While modding, I noticed that leaders can have custom statements (so they don't all have to have the exact same phrase for, say, commending you on having high happiness). I'll be adding in custom random agenda statements for each leader in future updates. If you'd like to suggest additions, please post them here.

I'm sure more changes will be made based on the feedback received and any further testing.


I hope you enjoy this mod! Future updates are in the works.
