Diplomatic Talks[]
Similar to the High Elves's Intrigue at the Court, Reikland can also do similar diplomatic manipulations between various factions. At first, the player can only manipulate between Empire factions but later on, they can also manipulate mostly Order-tide factions after researching "Conclave of Light" in the technology tree.
