Diplomacy ideas

1. Chaotic wizards have a random chance to declare war on people, so I was wondering, what if they also had a random chance to offer treaties or making peace?
2. Jihad hostility level has no actual effect on gameplay. I wonder if we could come up with something that makes it different from warlike.

Ah yeah, I remember reading the OSG about jihad. Never noticed it in gameplay though. Basically if the CP is at war with you, it's going to send stacks at your cities.

Chaotic wizards are just there to mix things up and keep diplomacy from being too manipulated by the player. Another imported concept from Master of Orion. Get too comfortable and the game gets boring. You can't get comfortable with a chaotic neighbor because you KNOW he's going to receive a prophecy to declare war against you eventually.

You never noticed it because it's not there. Then only actually implemented effect of Jihad is a priority boost for selecting the wizard's capital's continent as the target continent.

Random chaos peace would make a ton of sense to me, considering their only a mid-tier on the aggressive scale.
