Discussion about implementing DIPLOMACY (the board game)

[kobayashi]

there are seven powers in the Avalon Hill game of diplomacy.

What if for a civ2 scenario

there was a map with cities following the Diplomacy board and terrain with zero move cost connecting the correct cities

there was a ring of move cost one terrain around each city

each army unit was given movement allowance of two

each city had a production of one

neutral cities were given to barbarians

each power had a government that required support after zero units

navy units were transports with very high move allowance

units had a build cost of zero

no settlers are enabled

negotiations are enabled

[kobayashi]

nah it wouldn't work, the AI would always try to garrison its cities and never attack.

[Arthedain]

what about MP?

Just, just as the board game is no fun playing against one self, this could work well for MP games!
