We can add a visibility range for all towns. A unit or a town will be seen
if it is within range of a friendly unit, a friendly town or a town
with a friendly embassy.

For me, an embassy is an official contact between two kingdoms.
We may ask the other player if he/she agrees that an embassy is 
etablished in his/her kingdom.
I was maybe unclear. When I was thinking of closing an embassy, I was
thinking of removing an ennemy embassy etablished in my kingdom.

Best regards,
