That negotiation thing you're talking about, i'd be a fool to have but one ace up my sleeve. 
However, whatever happens, this is creating a ton of ingame stuff to deal with and to enjoy, also for you guys I hope.
It's both fun and a little bit stressfull sometimes. My char isn't allowed to make a single mistake at this point in the war and has to outthink an eneny with numerical advantage which is slowly learning and catching up...:p
In the meantime 'negotiations' continue everywhere
