Steam Community :: Diplomacy is Not an Option

What did they do to this game?

Its lagging and I can't seem to get an endless game going anymore like it used to. Why does it freeze every 5 seconds and on a 3950X with RTX2080 and SSD?

Development Diary (Part 15)

Good Lords, Fair Ladies!

We are back with another bit of info about the Rebels’ story arc!

As always, here is a video…

With such helpers there is no need for enemies...

…and details.

BE CAREFUL, SPOILERS AHEAD
[expand type=details]
You haven’t heard of a mission in the game like this one yet! This time it consists of two parts; in the first part your goal is to destroy a specific building on the map. Of course it won’t be easy, as you have to fight your way through massive defenses.

Destroying the building activates the second part of the mission - an enormous final attack. Fend it off and the victory is yours.

And, as usual for Diplomacy is Not an Option, you don’t get a single peaceful moment. Until you trigger the final attack your castle is assaulted by ever-increasing hordes of enemies. No time to waste yet again!
[/expand]
This is all for today, but more missions and more Dev Diaries are to come!

Yours, the Door 407 dev team

[Solved] Attack move order for units

Not sure if I'm just not seeing it but the lack of an attack move order for units is very jarring and annoying in an rts. Move to X, but stop to attack any enemies that are in range.

**Review updated**

Buy this game. It scratches a deep itch for gamers. Even the enjoyment I got out of the first 2 hours is worth the asking price.

This is pretty clearly inspired by Stronghold, the incredible RTS castle builder from 2001. That's not usually a good thing; Stronghold still runs well, plays well, and looks gorgeous, 23 years later. Few good competitors have come around because of just how incredible Stronghold actually is.

Diplomacy is Not an Option takes that as a compliment. It is on par with Stronghold. It is enjoyable through and through, offering a good challenge and progression tree.

What really amazes me is how the game focuses on the parts we care about. The layout of defenses is what matters most; resource management tends to be pretty easy.

Even if you only play for two hours, buy this game.

I have always been on the lookout for a city building with tower defense elements that feel
impactful and meaningful and this game has just that, very cute and pretty grafics, I really love I think about everything of this game, it should have more attention from the public, buy this game and you wont regret, I was going to make a full review, but got lazy in the middle of writing, just bear in mind that this game is good, fun chill and pretty, I hope I helped

It's going to be a great game when finished. The map feels too small atm but I've only done the campaign maybe sandbox is bigger.

Wait for 1.0 or Play Now?

I've not played Diplomacy is Not an Option very much, I have maybe a few hours since buying it when it first came out. Is it worth waiting until 1.0 to play the game or is not much being added other than campaign mode? I opened the game up the other day to play but immediately quit out as I figured September is right around the corner and I have no idea what will change between now and 1.0....

Diplomacy is not an option: Diplomacy settings - a three choice conundrum

Greetings Lords, I just installed "Diplomacy is not an option", and as always, I check the options menu to tailor my experience. The last option is Diplomacy, with three available settings: "Non", "Off", and "Diplomacy is Not an Option". I have been unable to make a choice so far and cannot decide which of the three would be the most appropriate. I need your advice. I would also advise the developers to add additional description tooltips for each of these options, as, unlike me, many less informed indi...
