Bonjour !

Being on the grinding side for resources to upgrade gear and all, I always run diplomatic missions to gather gold and affinity more efficiently than the loot gathering/reselling which is soooooo tedious. In all, i find that it is a very neat concept to get your investments growing while your hard at work squashing bugs.

But as of late, I've notice a high rate of hard diplomatic mission failure rather higher than usual. So just for the sake of it, I've ran 20 hard diplomatic missions and here are the outcome :

Gomora, jewel of the pariahs : 7
success : 1
failure with loot : 5
failure : 2

Salander, Jewel of the Earth : 6
success :1
failure with loot : 4
failure : 1

Three-Peaks, Jewel of the Mountains : 0 (saw this only once in 400 hours of playing)
success : na
failure with loot : na
failure : na

Kingdom of Varg : 7
success : 2
failure with loot : 3
failure : 1

I'm currently at level 10 in the city infrastructure with a base productivity of 690. Is it me or there is something really wrong here? The success rate of hard diplomatic missions is 20%. Sooooooo in the end, we're loosing gold and affinity.

I really enjoy the game but i suspect that the diplomats of Stormfall are running a pyramidal scheme or that a high rank official is closely tied to the mob and need to be reported to the authorities.

So can you put your fiscal agent on the case and bring the scoundrels before justice for embezzlement of funds? Please?

Until then, I'm not investing 1 gold piece in this scam. If anyone knows a better fiscal broker, please advise.
