I did notice the difficulty of not speaking to your neighbors. Diplomacy is so ingrained in Dominions, it is very odd to play a game without it! I keep wanting to write a message to someone or anyone, assuring folks of my peaceful intent.

It is hard to know when a neighbor is being agressive towards you or is just paranoid. Every troop on your border is a suspected part of an invasion army. Every move must be carefully considered. Wars will be frequent, I would expect.

Certainly this is a real change of pace from the usual Dominions fare.
Absolutely!

This is my 2nd "no diplo" game and it's very nerve-racking because you have no idea what to expect and there's nothing you can do to sway anybody's opinion/stance/etc when you run into situations that are cause for alarm. You can't just say "Hey, don't worry about my army in Province A because we're just moving to the indie over at B." or "Hey, I'm getting pounded on by Player X who is clearly the biggest threat on the board--could you give me a hand?!"



BTW, if somebody sees my army on their border don't worry! They're just admiring your landscaping....
