Why thank you, I'm honoured. This gives me the incentive to write more entries for those two. Here's some more for Laggs Nyr I had time to write before being suddenly called to work.
AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_GLAD (Friendly)(Furious)
#Each gets a fair share of the booty.
#Glad to help you, matey.
#The Lanun are always ready to help their mateys.
#Alright. But you owe me a favour, matey!
#Let it be known that Laggs Nyr is a fair and generous dwarf.
#Let me just add this to the list o' debts owned...
AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_SORRY (Friendly)(Furious)
#The sea cares for those who fare on their own, matey.
#Are you completely daft?
#Get out of here, beggar!
#T'is mine, not yours.
#I should give you the black mark.
#Hands off o' me loot.
AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_TRY_THIS_DEAL
#How 'bout this, matey?
#Fair seas, fair trade.
#You'd be a fool to refuse.
AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_OFFER_PEACE
#The Lanun need a break. How 'bout you?
AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_OFFER_CITY
#Want to try governing this unruly lot?
EDIT:
Here's a few more for Weevil, Pickle and Hyde.
AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_GLAD (Friendly)(Furious)
#Gladly. A pleasure. Always ready to help.
#Alright. Can do. But only this time.
AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_SORRY (Friendly)(Furious)
#No. Nuh uh. Nope.
#Can't do. No way. No no no.
AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_TRY_THIS_DEAL
#Hey listen! We've got a deal! It will like this!
#An offer. A fair offer. Does it accept?
AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_OFFER_PEACE
#We've had enough. Time for a nap. Maybe some cookies?
AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_OFFER_CITY
#We want to give you this city. No trick. Promise.
I can keep writing entries for those two, but I'm thinking that's enough for now and I'll see about other leaders. I think it's better to have several leaders with a few unique lines, than only a few leaders with many unique lines.

By the way, I noticed that the quotes when a leader is defeated are civ-wise (except for a few leaders). It may be interesting to have leader quotes. Here's a list of those leaders who already have a unique quote:
- Decius
- Hannah
- Keelyn
- Hianthrogh
- Kolsehvahn
- Verocchio
- Risen Emperor
- Korrina

Well, now that I've actually managed to see Weevil, Pickle and Hyde in action, I get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside of me but also noticed that few of the entries are a bit wonky. AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_PEACE is what the leader says after the initial contact and when you choose peace. I'll look for more errors and I'll update the dialogue then.
In the meantime, I wrote some diplotext for Thudr of the Doviello. I encountered him in game for the first time and while he shares Charadons text, I found his traits and favorites inspiring. So I imagined him as a strange and enigmatic leader, whose head is filled with too much magic/spirituality/hallucinogenic substances and he speaks in metaphors. Similar to Hakunin from Fallout 2.

I really like what you have written
But if you decide to do any updates, I will add them (unless I like old ones better
)Thudr is an incarnation of my favourite nordic god, Odin (including his name). You have made him more of a shaman but I still think it fits (strange and enigmatic leader, whose head is filled with too much magic/spirituality/hallucinogenic substances). Thank you for these

Many thanks for the compliments. The list of diplo_comments and their explanations weren't 100% accurate while I was writing stuff, so I know some comments are in the wrong place. I haven't had the time to properly test it and find out which ones, but I'll try and find out this weekend. I'll write a few new comments then.

Yeah, sorry for the non accuracy. I didn't find a post explaining in details where all the entries were used and didn't test them either. If you spot a wrong description, tell me so I can change it (I think you already tell something like this above...).

Okay, AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_PEACE is used after the initial contact and the initial choice of war or peace. So I rewrote that. I haven't found any other dialogue that's in the wrong place so far. Here's some new entries for Weevil, Pickle and Hyde. Btw, what exactly is the correct tag for leaders/civics/units/religions/etc? I'd prefer to write stuff with the correct codes in place, to minimize the work to add them.
