Full release date for Diplomacy Is Not An Option announced

Medieval survival game by Door 407 Diplomacy is not an option has just received its official release date for 1.0 in a new trailer revealed at Gamescom. The game is currently available for Early Access on Steam and currently costs around $25. An official release date for the game has been set: October 4, 2024.

Diplomacy is not an option puts players in the role of a medieval petty lord, building and defending his lands against hordes of enemies and rebelling peasants. In this real-time strategy game, players must manage the internal and external impact of their cities and castles. While enemies are swarming outside the walls, the peasantry inside the walls can be a cause for concern if players fail to manage their resources properly or leave them undefended.

One of the key points the game has emphasized in its marketing is the intense physics of combat, which forces players to plan catapults based on trajectory, speed, and lines of sight. These realistic features help players become familiar with the more magical aspects of combat: namely, real magic. Magic seems to be used through the construction of certain monuments or the mining of certain materials, as a countermeasure to your city’s more basic economic needs of leading its defenses and maintaining a strong fighting force.

The internal affairs of the city are just as important as the external ones. Economic management, distribution of resources and the general health of your citizens all play a major role. Don’t forget that a lord is only as powerful as the fighting power of his people.

In addition to the main campaign, the game offers three additional modes: Sandbox, Endless and Challenge. Sandbox mode is all about creative freedom, while Endless and Challenge focus on the player’s problem-solving skills.

In total, Diplomacy is not an option appears to be a real-time strategy game that challenges players of all skill levels as they attempt to defend their land against multiple waves of enemies.
