WTF did you guys do to the Academy Diplomatic options? In my game, I'm seeing 3 usable options and 21 extra empty placeholder selections.

There were no patches in the last 8 monthes.

It was an update downloaded through Steam. Though it may not have been an official patch, it was an update of some sort.

Maybe you are subscribed to some workshop mod, or to private branch that you aren't telling us about.
