The Gifting screen is uninformative and thus most gifts he's given have been rejected leading to a negative preconception on how diplomacy works in the game.
It's not just Quill. The AI gets a bunch of negative modifiers for shared borders and jealousy that are insurmountable. The diplomacy is easily the weakest part of Ara.
@AnthraxCat i never understood games that add malices for sharing a border. Like yeah, historically people fought wars with their neighbors. But for the most part your neighbors were your best friends. It's almost like a simple "you're nearby me" modifier isn't good enough for in depth diplomacy.
Oracles and missionaries work together. The oracles reduce existing competing religion strength while missionaries increase your own. If you park 2 to 3 of each in a foreign city you can quickly convert it. It's definitely worth it, since the more followers you have, the more verses (perks) you get, plus it's worth a ton of prestige.
Having a 'auto slot best' for buildings would be huge. I also finished a game that had no oil and no horses on the entire map. Still needs some time to cook.
oooh that's a(nother) good reason to make all of your dwellings in your walls, rando armies can't ransack them. (not rubbing it in, just learning it can happen myself from you -_-)
It feels like one of the most annoying parts Quill is running into are the one sided wars. The AI keeps initiating wars and when they start losing they unilaterally declare a white peace. It's what's forcing Quill to spend so much time as a militant pacifist. If the AI (or the player for that matter) declares war it feels like who they are fighting should have a say in if the war ends or not. Ad Hoc drinking game! Take a shot every time the AI nopes out of war they declared as soon as Quill has a doom stack ready to enter the city and the walls are down or after trouncing a city and en route to the next.
Quill18: Ignores the diplomacy screen.
Also Quill18: "Nobody likes me!"

There needs to be more automation with this. Its game breaking late game.

Time to go up more levels!
