What does make chief negotiator/demand negotiation rights do?

[bitparity]

I've never seen this used by the AI, nor do I even know how to use it myself, as it also seems no one ever takes me up on either requests during a war.

What exactly does this do, and what is it useful for?

Bump? Only because I have searched the forums and found no answer to this question, or anyone talking about what this option does, or why it's there, especially since it occupies two slots on the diplomatic options.

From the description, grant rights allows you to tell another clan that they have the right to negotiate peace with a mutual enemy on your behalf (ie, if myself and Clan B are at war with C, I can tell B that they can negotiate the peace for both of us.)

Demand rights is the inverse, I tell B that I want to negotiate with C for the both of us.

I'm guessing that this is somewhat of an impromptu alliance when both clans are fighting the same enemy. The advantage would obviously be best used against a larger adversary, so that your partner clan doesn't make peace with a big monster of a neighbor and leave you eating the newly freed doom stacks.

I've not used it yet, however, but now that you've reminded me I should check it out when in such precarious positions - as long as my "ally" doesn't sell me into slavery or something.

I have not tried it either, but it makes me wonder if you could dog pile the blob, get negotiation rights from all of them, and then allow offer subjugation for all of the clans. It sounds strange, and I cannot think of a reason to do this, but would it be possible?

The other peaces will only result in white peaces.
The current AI will not use negotiation rights as it was primarily intended for MP and can be exploited too easily by the player.

So .. if the AI doesn't use it, does that mean that it's useless trying to give/get negotiation rights from them?

Perhaps can this be removed from the single player diplomatic options? Only because it seems I can't be the only person confused by this multiplayer only function being in single player.
