Ways of reducing AI civs' superficial diplomatic chatter? Also, edit Trade Route duration?

[spilo]

Is there accessible code in the civ 5 XML files that can disable Denouncement screens, "I believe in *your ideology* too!" "I'm friends with *civ name* too" screens, etc? What files would I look at? I know about Leader Trait files; I'd like more control than those offer.

Is there accessible code for changing Trade Route duration?

Been a while since I looked at any of that but I am pretty sure it is all hard-coded within the game's DLL file(s) and is not accessible to any xml code.

William Howard posted a mod to make the AI shut up already with all those meaningless and non-game-affecting diplomacy-popups, but I am pretty sure it requires his VMC (Various Mods Components) DLL mod in order to work. You should be able to find his Shut Up mod somewhere in the completed mods sub-forums for civ5 but I am not exactly sure which sub-forum he posted it to.

He also has this mod http://www.picknmixmods.com/mods/CivV/Diplomacy/No Pointless Dialogs.html on his site but as I recall it is not quite the same thing.
