You will find that diplomacy will take up a lot of your turn time, so while it might be fun at first, later on it may just become a hassle.

I have found that if you have a reputation as one who ALWAYS honors his word either public or privite (even at the risk of losing the game)that you will get better tratys, trade agreements, and allies instead of Nap mates.

Diplomacy a hassle? Perhaps for some, but for me its a way playing the game and it works for me.

I mean a hassle as in the time input that is necessary to conduct good diplomacy. You may end up spending more time making deals and trying to draft 'water-tight' treaties than you do making your turns. It also adds more stress and pressure (ie player burnout) if you aren't used to it, particularly if English isn't your first language or you happen to be in a line of work where you draft contracts
Certainly it was something I wasn't expecting when I started and I think its only fair to warn others about it.

Actually I'm not Japanese and while not my first language, my English is passable.

However I do have some Japanese friends who are into these types of games and are technically very good strategists but the need for complex diplomacy would put them at a severe disadvantage.
