Default Re: Was going to buy the game and then!

Even if you figure it's a war with only one victor, there's tons of reasons for allowing diplomacy -- the big one is not everybody wants to fight everybody else all at once.

One player may have a strategy that depends on high-level spells, so he wants to grow quietly until he gets them. Another may believe he's weak against one other race, and wants to concentrate on wiping them out first. Or player A is clobbering B, and then is attacked by C, and would like peace with A (or A and B want to co-operate to fight C).

I'd like the addition of pantheons or alliances, too, but I'm willing to wait for that if it would take a lot of work on the AI.
