I had a lot of problems playing through Wiz7 Gold regarding the diplomacy bug.

Had to restart a couple of times even to try different approaches to the Don Barlone who wouldn't do anything but kick me out of his dungeon (he always had the legend map and I couldn't pass through the hall of gorrors). Finally, one a board somewhere, I read how to get around it.

I was lucky enough to have gotten the whole set about 2 years ago. When you run into a problem and need the diplomacy skill, save just before entering negotations with the character, exit Gold and start up Crusaders, load file and negotiate. It will run really slow (at least mine did).

With this switch the Don would trade with me and I was *finally* able to finish the game (I'd tried a few times over the span of about 3 years)
