Hi Forum!
I've been thinking about another aspect in CON- Diplomacy. I've noticed several different diplomacy strategies, please comment and add your own!
1. The Snake
Self explanatory. Ask for RoW, fly troops in, go in for the kill while he's afk. Very dishonourable.
2. Non-Coalition Ally
Ask solo players on the map, when there are 2-3 major coalitions left, to become allied with your coalition against XYZ coalition. Obviously try to find stronger players, basically attack together.
3. Divided We Fall
Message different members in the same coalition, saying there's a "Rat" in the coalition. Tell them "intel" from spies, recon, or newspaper info and convince them someone in their team is a rat. Then "accidentally" tell them a team member, preferrably one thats near you, and "offer" to "help" them take the "traitor" down.
4. Blackmail Diplomacy.
High Risk, High Reward. Works on noobs in big maps, mid-late game. Something on the lines of this: "Hi man, your team really wants war and made xyz provocation, i have <<insert scary unit for newbies like ICBM, BM sub, stealth bomber>> near your border, ready to strike. But you're new so i really dont want to wipe you off the map and im willing to negotiate. Then proceed to demand "reparations" for alleged provocations, ranging from:
- Taking a city you "wanted" that's halfway across the world
- Going into your "territorial waters"
- If they send a spy, tell them the building they damaged cost "thousands of resources of every type" , they usually pay up quickly
Key thing is this is a bluff, you don't usually have the "100 ICBMs" or "25 stealth bombers in his capital".
5. Madman Diplomacy
Works when you ACTUALLY have the ICBM/missiles/bombers:
"Haha! I have missiles and am gonna make <<insert city>> go boom boom boom if you don't pay <<>>"
If they don't pay, actually fire the missile. Then tell them they can still "negotiate a peace" if they pay "reparations"...
All of these have their risks and rewards. Feel free to add your own!
