Assigning diplomats to states

[schnizzle]

I think a cool mechanic for especially the late game would be the ability to assign diplomats to your states to spread propaganda (maybe a different word for this era?), which could reduce unrest in the state you assign a diplomat to similar to what colonists do. This could be a great mechanic if it get you the right boni. Other positive modifiers apart from unrest reduction could be to slowly reduce nationalism and/or the time until you can change autonomy again as well as dissolve foreign cores

Reading the title, I was very sceptical, but the proposal seems interesting enough. Reducing unrest by diplomats makes sense.

However, a drawback I see about this idea is that in late game, when you would use that feature since diplomacy might be less important, a state might be a too small unit for it to really be useful... Culture group or whole religions could be more impactful.

In another direction entirely, we should wary that unrest reduction doesn’t become too powerful, potentially cancelling separatist sentiments and the whole point of having too much OE in the first place.
