This first step in changing the Faction AI behaviour is very welcome...

Apart from " player encampments" will they also start attacking towns close to their hubs  or will they be safe for now ?

########### EDIT ##############
OK read the original post properly this time and it clearly says cities are safe Embarrassed

Not immediately, as the initial round of 'pure hatred' Factions can't be influenced in their hatred.  But yes, as we get to factions that can be influenced by other player actions, alterable faction standing mechanisms will come online.

Correct.  Diplomats attached to armies count as military units whilst in a division.

Just eliminating the partial successes of scouts probably would have killed the tendency to send multiple diplomatic missions to the same target.  (I tested for myself recently to confirm that scout spam no longer results in even partial success with less than 100 units, which it did for a time even after the alteration of the thresholds for random success/failure.)

It is sort of hard to reconcile this change with the existence of buildings like scouts lookout, since it seems like this change will reinforce a tendency to have a medium group of scouts in many cities rather than a large group of scouts in a single city.  Maybe the scouts lookout buildings should also increase the number of diplomatic missions that can be abroad?

I don't see it as a big negative change, but I anticipate that at some point in the future I am going to forget that it exists and have a major facepalm moment.

Great news on the NPC aggressive AI!  I look forward to hearing from people how this is working.
