Diplomacy is Not an Option News

• Unique player units (e.g. Lord and Scott the Bloody) now have less regeneration.
  

• Issue with game loading. Cache is not using system disk space at all anymore;
  
• Bug with achievement "Salty dog" (Build a ship) not being given. If you managed to do it before the hotfix, you would get the achievement after loading the campaign map;
  
• Bug with achievement "We have the technology…" (Complete each research during a single mission) not being given. The easiest way to get it now if you have already done the condition is to load the saved mission with all completed research;
  
• Some localization fixes.
  

• Game cache is moved to the game folder (was located on the system disk), therefore the approximate space you’ll need after the install is around 5GB.
  

• Fixed several cases of game loading stuck on 60% and 100% (though the first launch may still take a few minutes depending on your device);
  
• Fixed bug with non-ending saving process (looped chicken was stuck in the corner);
  
• Twitch integration bug with only units spawning for subscription were Axe warriors;
  
• Some localization fixes.
  

Everyone loves a last stand. From works like David Gemmell's Legend and the battle of Helm's Deep in The Lord of the Rings The Two Towers, to games like They Are Billions and Thronefall, there's an enduring appeal to standing on the walls of a fortress, fighting for your life against an unending swarm. Diplomacy is not an Option is a game devoted to heroic last stands, and it's now launching out of early access and into a full release.
