Does diplomacy work?
As far as being stabbed in the back, do you mean even if you give gifts, secure marriages to establish kinship, win your battles, honor trade agreements etc the AI will retardedly just fuck your shit up anyway? Or do you mean as long as you do what's expected of a good lord every turn your vassals remain dependable? Is there realm divide/mongol invasion tom foolery where you're hardcoded to fight everybody?
There really was a lot of love in that game. There were several lines effected by traits and ancillaries in Shogun 2, but nobody remembers them because they're in Japanese. On the whole the best entries in the series, although I haven't played Total Warhammer yet and I'm told they are the best.

U need diplomacy almost every turn. As the AI will gang up on you the moment you are weak. Actually it will gang up on you if you're strong too. Basically assume you're at war with everyone and that you can get backstabbed anytime even by your best vassals and you should be fine. Anything else, save scum works too.
Which I think reflects the life of a Romance warlord pretty well... but hell for gamers, who aren't used to all their plans being constantly interrupted. Seems like once you know how to establish relative martial superiority you can still keep loyal vassals, given you managed to keep several until endgame?
Well, he's kinda stupid. Trying to apology to CA, trying to downplay weakness, not criticizing not dropping draconic DRM. He did better last year, and he should remember, it's two part of equation. Viewers who don't like downplaying ignoring flaws because reviewer wants to get to better side with publisher, and actual publisher/developer. Frankly viewers can look at more famous reviewers who are acting as bribed by publisher, and read an article in 5 minutes.I watched NuLegend's review. Population is back as a statistic, but it doesn't impact development or your levy pool. Not sure what it did.
Has Legend of Total War dropped the banter from his videos? He even apologized to CA, because they didn't give him the promoter's key for saying what we're all thinking about this company.
Meh,different times different paragons of beauty. Hellena of Troy is also not a beauty by modern standards.have you ever read the description of liu bei? the fascinating, charismatic, handsome liu bei? fat lips, stupid expression, ear lobes touching his shoulders. basically a roadkilled toad.

Indeed. Seems only fair, going by the rules.Shouldn't this one be in the JPRG faggotry section?
It's super fucking random. At the end of my campaign, I had Liu Bei as a loyal ally in my coalition, while tiny ass factions with literally only a single iron mine and no village were breaking trade agreements to join coalitions from people 6 provinces away and declare war on me. I didn't have any vassals since I was playing the bandit bitch, but I also saw someone break a non aggression pact with me 2 turns after I made it with them. Again, when they were hopelessly outclassed. It's also trivially easy to become so reviled by a faction that they'd prefer extermination to any peace deal you offer.Which I think reflects the life of a Romance warlord pretty well... but hell for gamers, who aren't used to all their plans being constantly interrupted.

Dude was charismatic, not handsome in a way to get the ladies going.
And half of that charisma involved, at least in the Romance, wailing about how it is his lack of virtue that has led his followers to suffer so, lo, he is not worthy.
So very different standards of what is charismatic leadership + had nothing to do with being hawt.

I think a good summary of the diplomacy is the playthrough someone did where they won the game by offering 10 turns of food for a province that produces food, immediately broke the deal on the same turn, and made another deal of the same type with the same person because they needed the food even more. It's got lots of options and details, but the way they interact is broken.
