So I've recently found out that diplomats have their unit size cut to a 1/3 AND converted to poilce.
I can not help wondering why. Courtiers and infils don't have it as bad. And they gain way more non-combat features than diplomats.
Why not keep only one penalty (either reduced size or non-combat army deisgnation)? What's the purpose behind making a rp-heavy class exceptionally worthless in combat?
