Awhile back I made a post whining about my general dislike of city-state diplomacy in the the current versions of VP. Some in that thread asked if I had any other ideas, and I was not able to offer any.
(Preface: I realize this is most likely outside the scope of changes @Gazebo and crew are willing to make this close to 'Gold' status. I'm throwing it out there anyway.)
Spies are already able to function as diplomats with major civs; is there any possibility of using them that way inside city-states? I know they can do currently do the coups and election rigging, which is maybe similar enough as makes no difference. I honestly haven't used them that way very much, but it always felt underwhelming the few times that I did. Could we possibly have an option to choose 'Diplomat' with a steady trickle of influence that's more reliable than the dice rolls of rigging and coups?
(Again, just to emphasize: I'm aware the VP crew are avoiding changes of this nature at this stage. This is simply to put the idea up for discussion on the remote chance it's a Good Idea and not just another of my ill-considered brain farts.)
