Goddamn you Caelum!

If there's one thing about this game I absolutely despise, it's the lack of diplomacy options. It fits themeatically, but it's sure annoying.

Lack of diplomacy? This game is all about diplomacy, with a little splash of magic.

"Diplomacy is the art of saying "nice doggie" while you look for a bigger stick."

Yes, and when you turn your back searching for big sticks the "nice doggie" suddenly bites you in the neck.

The obvious solution to this is of course to not have a neck which to bite. Another one is to say, "bad doggie, sit!" while you pretend that you are holding a whole forest of sticks.

So that's why oceania went with a kraken pretender then...

I mean the lack of diplomatic options in-game, like treaties that let you combine forces or move through allied terrain.

Yawn. 72 hours is kinda slow. I don't want to change it, though.

We did a blitz session yesterday for a new game and finished 11 turns in two hours. It's taken us a month to reach the same point in this game.

72h is slow, but I don't want to speed it up. I'm content with this game as it is. We should consider that it may take six months or a year to finish, though.
