As you are all aware, “Diplomacy is Not an Option” and “brutal” are basically synonyms. The game is tough, unforgiving and requires a good understanding of game mechanics. And since the game has officially released this year, we can fight for the ‘Best Game You Suck At’ Steam Award! So! If you ever felt that your heart rate goes up to dangerous levels when playing the game!.. If you ever thought that a mission is impossible to complete!.. Vote for DiNaO!

Strategy game Diplomacy is Not an Option is like Age of Empires but with zombies

If you love RTS games, city builders, tower defense, and resource management, I can easily recommend you try Diplomacy is Not an Option. While you control troops in a similar manner to Age of Empires or Command and Conquer, you've also got to worry about your citizenry. Just because they're behind a castle wall doesn't mean they're safe, as you've got taxes, food supplies, and more to think about at any given time. If that all sounds like too much, don't worry, because Diplomacy is Not an Option's newest update puts you in control of a somewhat less demanding group: the undead.

About the Undead Update

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Pupultas!

The time has come to be reborn as the Undead. The update adding a new story branch into the campaign is out! So, what is that about?

The Undead update adds into the game:

The Undead story branch with 5 new missions;
Unique mechanics exclusive to the Undead;
No walls — your army is your defense;
Raise zombies — a special unit under your command can raise dead enemies as zombies. You also have access to Dark Resurrection spell;
Zombies as a resource — use the acquired zombies as troops, create more powerful Undead out of them, or even recycle them into bones!
The Undead buildings can be built on defiled soil only;
New achievements;
Twitch integration updated for the Undead.

And of course there are fixes and improvements to the game in general!

So, how to start playing the new story branch? If you have played DiNaO and already reached Ozzie, you can load a special save before his cutscene — then you’ll be able to choose between supporting your current faction and the Undead. If you just started playing the campaign, you can simply continue — in one of the missions you’ll be offered to change sides.

Additionally, we are launching the Autumn Sale earlier! Starting from 19:00 CET today all Door 407 games and additional content will be available for purchase with a discount!

We also want to remind you about our recently announced cosy cooking card game Abra-Cooking-Dabra. Don’t forget to wishlist it!

And don’t miss the two new bundles Diplomacy is Not an Option is now in! The first one is with Thronefall, a cute minimalistic kingdom building strategy, and the second one is with a nice medieval city sim Going Medieval. Remember, bundles can provide an additional discount!

As always, we will be waiting for your feedback!

Yours, the Door 407 dev team
