From Embassy, through Magnificent Court, to Imperial Conclave

An hypothetical version of the Embassy follows. . . .
Embassy [Generic]
You build a large and suitably ornamental structure for use by your diplomats. Embassies are most frequently built in the court provinces of other major powers.
DDC: 8.
Build Cost: 10 GB.
Upkeep: 0.25 GB/turn.
Benefits: You gain a +2 asset bonus to diplomacy actions taken with domains in whose court province you have an embassy.
Once per year you may take diplomacy as a court action (subtracting 1 GB from the standard cost) with a domain that has a court/embassy in the province wherein the embassy is located.
Special: You automatically gain diplomatic relations with all domains that have courts/embassies in the same province.
Note: Conceptually, diplomacy is still a realm action, even when taken as a court action via embassy.

An hypothetical version of the Magnificent Court follows. . . .
Magnificent Court [Generic]
Your court is known for its majestic size and grand architecture. Visiting dignitaries are suitably impressed, and your civil servants are inspired to work even harder.
DDC: 15.
Build Cost: 45 GB.
Upkeep: 1 GB/turn.
Benefits: The magnificent court functions as an embassy; but the +2 to diplomacy applies to all of your diplomacy actions, and the yearly diplomacy-via-court-action may be used to host any domain at a court session (or a standard diplomacy event), with an additional court action being required for each attendee beyond the first.
Furthermore, you receive a +2 bonus to all court actions and one extra court action per season. And you receive a +4 asset bonus to actions taken to resolve events dealing with matters of court (within your own domain only), such as discontent among the lesser nobility (if a realm) or functionaries (if an organization).
Special: It is possible to upgrade from an embassy to a magnificent court.

An hypothetical version of the Imperial Conclave follows. . . .
Imperial Conclave [Unique]
In the days of the Empire, the members of the Imperial Temple gathered in the labyrinthine halls of the Imperial Conclave:—a sprawling and ancient structure covering the highest portion of one of the largest islands of the City of Anuire. It was from here that the Pontiff of Anuire ruled, advised by his Cardinals.
DDC: 20.
Build Cost: 100 GB.
Upkeep: 3 GB/turn.
Benefits: This structure functions as a royal palace and a magnificent court.
Once per year the owner may bestow the blessings of the pontificate, thereby granting the recipient domain a +2 bonus to all domain actions for one turn.
The owner may host a grand conclave or a conclave special session each turn as a court action (subtracting 1 GB from the standard cost). The court action enables the owner to host the pontiff's own faction, and an additional court action is required to host each additional faction. Furthermore, any member temple that has an embassy in the same province may take diplomacy as a court action each turn (instead of each year), although the seasonal upkeep for such conclave embassies is 0.5 GB (instead of 0.25 GB).
Restrictions: It is not possible for the owner of the imperial conclave to employ the yearly diplomacy-via-court-action (as per the magnificent court) AND to host a grand conclave or a conclave special session, in the same season.
Also, in a given year, only one diplomacy action (from a given temple's conclave embassy) may be conducted outside the context of a grand conclave or a conclave special session.
Note: The upkeep for the imperial conclave does not cover the upkeep for the conclave embassy (if any) controlled by the pontiff's member temple.
Talinie & NIT/TD (Linde):
Magnificent court is something you build in your court province. Embassies are generally not. So why an upgrade option?
