About Diplomacy is Not an Option
Diplomacy is Not an Option is a base-building real-time strategy game about defending your castle against vast enemy hordes. On procedurally generated maps, more than 25,000 enemies can storm your defenses. You build fortifications, raise armies and manage engineering, the economy and magic to survive.
A kingdom in revolt
Your king’s wasteful spending has driven the country into an economic crisis, while peasants rebel against unfair taxes. You can suppress the revolt or join it, but either path leads through a conflict with thousands of casualties. Along the way, you encounter the mysterious Sarranga tribe and undead who worship hard-rock music.
Build and defend
You shape the battlefield with walls, towers, gates, routes for advancing and retreating, kill-zones and fallback positions. Arrows, catapult stones and enemies launched into the air are physically modeled, so clear lines of sight and the placement of your fortifications affect combat. You take an active role in directing your troops, and can fight in real time or pause to issue orders and manage events.
Siege weapons blast enemy crowds, while your loyal troops risk their lives to carry out your plans. You can develop different strategies, from building walls early and raising large armies to expanding aggressively and investing in your economy. The maps are procedurally generated, and you choose how to approach each battle.
Care for your people
Your castle depends on the peasantry, so you need to protect and provide for them. Farm to keep food supplies up, build houses, bury fallen soldiers and peasants to help prevent plague, and treat the infected. Neglect can leave you with empty stockpiles, unrepaired walls and empty barracks, or bring swarms of zombies to your castle.
Manage the economy
Food, wood, stone, iron and gold support your city and army. Gather resources, choose where to store them, and plan expansions and upgrades while keeping your supplies sufficient to meet the advancing enemy. Civilian settlements that expand without protection can fall to hostile forces. You can also trade with a merchant dirigible for emergency supplies, including food for your soldiers or stone to rebuild walls.
Use magic
Build magical monuments and harvest soul crystals to wield the kingdom’s tainted power. Magic can stir zombies and trap wayward souls, but it can also send large fireballs and searing beams against enemies, or summon ghosts to pursue survivors.
Game modes
The game includes four modes: Endless Mode, Story Campaign, Challenge Mode and Sandbox Mode. Beyond the campaign, Endless, Sandbox and Challenge modes let you fight on procedurally generated maps. A Map Editor lets you create your own scenarios in the game’s medieval fantasy world.
