Mid Point Diplomacy
By this point, many of you should be engaged in serious battles, You may be pushing your way through the ranks of your enemy, reaping the benefits of his lands you’ve liberated for your Banner.
If not, then you should take particular note of the next lessen which is to do with fighting larger foes ;)

By now, you should be thinking about your next move.
Look to your next borders; Are there friendly troops awaiting your arrival, or will your forces need to push through a second enemy line?
It's time to consider some Mid Point Diplomacy.

A few key things to remember when entering the murky waters of Mid-Point Negotiations.
* Don’t make peace with just anyone, be sure you check out their standings.

*If they’re too small, you could absorb them into your empire.
*If they’re too big, perhaps look to their other neighbors for support in a joint-attack or just look elsewhere, lol. *If they’re lower than you in the citadel, perhaps they will join you against others or be your next target.
*If they’re higher than you, perhaps you should engage them to further your placement, especially if they have other enemies keeping them occupied.

*Be sure to check with your current NAPs and Allies, Perhaps they already have a target in mind.
It’s always better to keep coordinated, especially at this crucial point in the game.

*Look at your current NAPs, How are they doing? Might you soon have a new neighbor?
Be sure that you look into this before acquiring new enemies.

All of these things should be taken into consideration prior to new negotiations, Also, if you had a pre-game plan (a pre-determined path, perhaps to a nearby ally) look at how your goals may have shifted in the war-torn lands around you.
