What does the embassy do?

[Kiech]

I have been playing around with the advanced tactics in MNAI, and its pretty neat to get extra commanders during the game. The "right of passage" is absolutely a nice alternative to the unrestricted Open Borders option.

But I can't figure out what the Embassy does. I thought someone said I could look at the other players capital, but that didn't happen for me. I did notice a small relations bonus, but that seems boring. Am I missing something?

Since this isn't just an MNAI thing, I thought it best to post here.

I didn't use it, but I think that embassy allows you to get access to power graph.. manufacturing goods...etc... and the number crushing of BUG that is related to that.

Allows you to sign open borders and right of passage. I think it let's you buy and sell siege units too.

I saw an option to buy a galley. Interesting.

Right of passage is available without embassy.

You also get a diplomatic malus if you "break" an embassy.
