This link takes you to a set of replacement rules for a version of Diplomacy which I think works a lot better than the current system, and I would like the rest of your input on if you think this is workable/an improvement...

This is a brilliant new take on Diplomacy. Even better than the Pathfinder update and it mostly reflects the house rules I've always used with Diplomacy. Of course, for me it was more vague on "circumstantial modifiers" but this clears it up nicely.
