	Diplomacy Review for PC - Gaming Age
		For those unfamiliar with it, Diplomacy is a board game that incorporates secretive movement, discussions with other players, and a shunning of random chance.
		For that, Diplomacy is an admirable attempt at recreating the cloak-and-dagger politics of the pre-World War I era.
		All of which that is in the board game is in the PC game.

		The game board really looks like a board that you would lay out on your dining room table (with the addition of some simple water effects), and the pieces look as if they had just been snipped off of their sprues.
		Diplomacy is a turn-based strategy game in the same vein as Risk, but instead of leaving the negotiations in the players’ hands, this game comes up with a whole set of very intricate rules that streamline the diplomacy process.
		Diplomacy is strictly an adaptation of the classic board game, so there are no real alternative setups or options for you to tweak the rules with.

	Paradox releases first details on Diplomacy - PC News at GameSpot
		While the board game uses the historical setting of Europe prior to WWI, Diplomacy is not a historical war game in the same sense as Hearts of Iron for instance.
		When you are convinced you are playing a symmetrical game with the AI it helps the players to develop a "theory of mind" regarding his or her opponents, which helps immensely in immersing the player in the gameplay.
		Diplomacy is a very symmetrical game and minimizing the difference between playing with other humans and playing with computer opponents is a cornerstone in our design.

	Diplomacy :: Computer :: Review :: DreamStation.cc
		Diplomacy is the PC remake of the 20 year old board game.
		The board game is very social, and while it was a great way to do it, the PC version takes much of that social aspect away in exchange for the ease of talking with others — and you can even play against folks who don’t speak your language, which is nice.
		The board is a 3D representation of a 2D space, and while you can fully rotate and zoom, there’s not much excuse for anything less than instant feedback on your visual manipulation of the map.

	Diplomacy for PC Review - PC Diplomacy Review
		The original incarnation of Diplomacy is regarded as one of the greatest strategy board games ever made, and as a result, it has been translated to the computer on several occasions.
		Diplomacy's order system is a bit confusing at first, because you have to learn to not only plot your own moves, but also juggle multiple negotiations with other countries so that you can plot out those proposed moves.
		Diplomacy also suffers from some annoyingly long load times, which is surprising for a game that takes up a fraction of the disk space of other, modern games.

		We're not sure exactly when she fully understood the object of the game, but halfway through the game, with everyone taking it easy on her (being new AND cute and all), she suddenly turned into a runaway monster.

		Diplomacy is a realistic game of strategy without dice, and nothing left to luck alone.
		Diplomacy is simiar to risk, except there are no dice, and you can't win without a smooth tongue and a diplomatic nature.
		It is possible to keep an ally throughout the entire game, and still win the game, but more than likely, you'll have to turn on him at some point, especially if they currently have more points than him.

		The game is exceptionally good, it is also a good educational toy I'm not quite sure what durable means, the game is as physically durable as any other board game(so take care of it), as for play durability, I've been going for four years, and it just gets better.
		The game is set up so that no one can invade their neighbor on the first turn, so you'll need to build crucial allies the first time around in order to defend yourself against invasions in the second turn, and make well-coordinated strikes against your opponents.
		This game relies totally upon your ability to be able to work within the various plans of your allies and enemies, to be able to recognize when to ally with certain people and to be able to recognize when that alliance is no longer needed.

	Games: Board Games: Diplomacy - Open Site
		Diplomacy is a strategy board game that is best played with seven players, although it may be played with as few as two.
		The mechanics of the game are very simple, as in chess, but the strategy is difficult to understand.
		In Diplomacy, there is very little luck involved, because the only random factor in the game is the country that a player will play.

		Having been introduced to the Diplomacy board game last year, I was anxious to try Paradox's new digital version of it.
		The game world itself consists of 3D versions of the game's playing pieces placed upon a flat 2D version of the map, all of which can be rotated in 3D space to allow for looking at the map and pieces from any angle.
		The recurring theme of the game design seems to be that there was simply too much time spent on certain aspects, while a criminally small amount of time was spent on others.

		"Diplomacy" the board game must have more than a hundred variations, and because of these variables, Microprose decided to limit their computer iteration and only offer a few versions.
		The art of diplomacy takes places between turns, and this is the heart of the game.
		Defining the rules and parameters of Diplomacy was a fairly easy task for Microprose--all they needed to do was decide which variations of the board game would be available to the computer player.

		The first concept is a streamlined software version of Monopoly in which all the properties on the board cost the same amount to buy, and generate exactly the same amount of rent.
		When the game's omissions and weaknesses are viewed besides some of its more frivolous graphical features you are definitely left wondering whether the designers had their priorities right.
		There are positives to the game, but they are not the kind of thing you could build an advertising campaign around.

		Diplomacy -- the board game -- is one of the all-time greats.
		If you're unfamiliar with the original game, it works like this: up to seven players step into the shoes of the major European powers in the years preceding World War I. The rules are abstract and simple.
		Although Diplomacy is a deceptively simple game, the team at Paradox has their work cut out for them when it comes to bringing it to the PC.

	IGN: Diplomacy Review
		Six years ago, Hasbro released a PC version of Diplomacy that was uninspired, managing to reproduce the mechanics of the game without ever really capturing the essence of human interactions that separate Diplomacy from more mechanical games like chess or checkers.
		Though it manages to offer a more polished presentation, the overall weakness of the AI and the inconsistency in the multiplayer interface keep the game far short of an attractive alternative to the board game.
		Diplomacy is a game of decisions rather than dice, so the psychological elements are key to recreating the experience.

	Diplomacy Board Game - Buy/Read Reviews
		For those of you who are always angry at the dice for not rolling right, this board game is meant for you.
		While you have military units which you position on the map, the decisive factor in the Diplomacy board game is how well you can construct a military and political relationship with the other players.
		And, of course the very best part of any game of Diplomacy is the point when all the treaties and non-aggression agreements you have carefully worked out with your friends fall to pieces.

		For example, at the end of a game year players must build or remove units until the number of units on the board equal the number of supply centers they occupy.
		Next there's the A.I. It's a tall order to expect that the A.I. for a game this rich in emotional subtlety would provide a humanlike opponent, but one would at least hope that the A.I. would be interesting enough to fill in for a missing player or provide some sort of meaningful game experience.
		It's like that strange variant of the board game Diplomacy where nobody's allowed to talk to each other, with the exception that everyone at the table is also stupid.
