In EU: Rome diplomacy was conducted by a character and while the system had its flaws I don't like that it was completely removed in Imperator: Rome and I have an idea how characters can be used for diplomacy without the flaws.
Instead of having a diplomat, diplomacy will be conducted as of right now, but if you do a long term diplomatic action like improve relation of fabricate claim you will be asked to assign one character to do that mission. That character would get the job as a dignitary, which mean the character is paid a wage and the charisma attribute affect how effective the character is at their job. Like generals there would not be a hard limit on how many dignitaries you can have other than the number of characters you have.
The traits, Culture and religion of the dignitary could lead to various events, both good and bad which add Life to the diplomacy aspect of the game. If the dignitary dies, you will be asked to replace them with a new one and the diplomatic mission will continue.
Since dignitaries cost a wage and use characters, I think the political influence of the mission they would be used for can be removed.
