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.

I see you are a japanese. Maybe the language did make some very little troubles.So did i.But the diplomacy is part of the game,it's funny and very worth reading,there're too many informations.

Or you could just keep things simple, and solve problems when you get to them. Most of my diplo consists of "Don't attack each other w/out X turns of warning" and some trading.

I think the diplomacy could be very funy.

Ugh... My e-mail must have messed up yesterday because I swear I at least tried to e-mail my 2h file, and I definitely did my turn. This is worse because it's early game 8(.

I think diplomacy is one of the most interesting thing in a dominion mp game

Gentlemen, agianst your better judgement I allowed Hinnom in the game, NOW (LOL), he id right under my position and attacking me.

I can hold out for a while but he will prevail. Caelem is sitting this one out.

Any one that wants to help stop him before he becomes a juggarnaut might want to nip at his heals some as he will be tied up in the top to middle North Eastern section fighting me.

His cap is in(I believe)#19 and his provinces that I know of are 32 31 17 7, that leaves around 3 unaccounted for.

I will try and slow him down and fight a guerilla war till the end.

Frozen Lama is now ADMIN.

I hold no ill will towards Hinnom as he has been honest and upfront with the negotiations the whole time and this will not carry over into any other games (my word). However, if you take him out....I wouldn't mind that either.
