In my GC as Russia I have gained a superpowerstatus, and everything seems to become a bit dull. Now I've found fun in diploannexing all those crappy "one province"-countries in Europe. This fun, however, came to an end when my "Royal Diplomacy"-value dropped from four to one, and as a consequence I just gained one diplomat a year, something that made everything less fun.
What affects this? Is it the monarch's diplomacy skill? (My monarch's skill was 3 btw) Or is it just implemented as an historical event ?(that Russia became diplomatically hampered in mid 1720's?)
