Diplomacy
This is Diplomacy, a set of features implemented in many other mods. A list of the base features follow – to read more and find a download mirror please see the main forum page[forums.taleworlds.com]
If the workshop isn’t working for you, kindly use the installer found in the above link, disregarding the version warnings for 1.153. If you are playing on a non-windows platform please visit the pinned thread in the discussions. If you start a game and cannot see the preview image on the splash screen, you are not playing Diplomacy. All credits go to Waihiti (the creator of this wonderful mod) & the other contributors alongside translators. Please stop asking if this you can add this mod to another mod – if some of its feature sets were already incorporated I’m sure the mod creators would’ve mentioned it.

How do I use the tentative updates?
Make a copy of ModulesNative and name it Diplomacy. Alternatively, Steam installs modules to Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent48700285119009 so you can use that folder instead.
Extract the files from the Dropbox link into the folder and restart the game launcher.
How do I copy over savegames from Native?
Warband’s savegame structure is 1 folder per module under DocumentsMount&Blade Warband Savegames so simply copy over savegames from Native to the Diplomacy folder (or create it if it does not exist yet). Note that currently savegames from 1.17x may not be imported correctly due to the new assets added (If you did not apply the update properly, it will give you an error about the number of scenes).
Does this work on X mod?
Each module are designed to be stand-alone, meaning most of the time you cannot directly combine features from two workshop items. Many mods are based on Native and thus could benefit from bugfixes and mechanisms introduced in Diplomacy, but I cannot answer individual requests to "add Diplomacy to X". Instead, consider contacting the module creator to incorporate those desired features instead.
