Diplomacy..a bit pointless?

[Doug-Thompson]

Emm... what game are you lot playing?



If you have to pay the Gauls 50.000 for a ceasefire, then you ought to expect them to invade the next turn. If you have to pay over 15k for any ceasefire, then they're simply fleecing you in the hope that they can do it again.

There are some things that could be changed and added to --- feedback to the player being one of them --- but to anyone who has delved into it, the dimplomacy engine is a solid machine.

Exactly. $50K bought quite an army too.

None of the factions can or should be trusted. They are all liars and backstabbers -- which is pretty accurate. So what's the purpose of diplomacy? To make a heck of a deal that turn, if you can.
