Diplomacy is Not an Option News

[p]Pupultas!
[p]It’s spooky season! And what can be more fitting for Halloween than a custom map where you find yourself among the raging zombie apocalypse?
[p]This is what this month’s map — Operation Raccoon City — is about. Why is it so special? It throws two protagonists in a city amidst crowds of turned citizens. That’s all your forces and it’s already too late to build defenses or economy. I’s just two people among the sea of enemies.
[p]Your only chance to survive is to fight your way through the infected tide towards the only available barracks, where you can hire some archers — so grab all resources you see. The city is doomed, but you still might have a chance…
[p][p]The map is beyond difficult. It will make you reload again and again… but sometimes the process of surviving is more fun than winning. Give it a try!

[p]Our friends at Rockbee Team have just released Lessaria: Fantasy Kingdom Sim — a strategy with indirect control inspired by Majesty! Build your economy, hire troops and place bounties if you want them to do something! Check it out!
[p]And of course, Lessaria is in a bundle with Diplomacy is Not an Option. This means that buying the bundle you get an additional 10% off. And if you already have a game from it, its price is deducted from the bundle’s!

Bug Fixes

• Enemies missing from defense structures have been returned (mostly Sarranga).

[p]We start highlighting maps made by the community! Today in the center of attention is Grimridge.
[p]Grimridge is a map designed by Lord with a focus on terrain. Its narrow canyons filled with enemy peasants will make expanding tough, on occasion redirecting an attacking wave so it comes from a direction you don’t expect. Add attacking waves that ramp up fast by the end of the scenario, to the point when one attack starts before the previous ends — and you’ll get a hard challenge that will take more than one attempt to conquer.

[p]The map really highlights the importance of information and early expansion in Diplomacy is Not an Option, as well as shows how powerful terrain can be in defence. A great experience for hardcore DiNaO players.
[p]Give Grimridge a try and share with us your experience!

[p]Pupultas!
[p]A year has passed since Diplomacy is Not an Option was released! During that time we had some good changes and additions come to the game. The Undead received their own campaign branch, Map Editor, new endless maps and challenges have been added, and a number of improvements made their way into DiNaO too. The game has also received a free prologue — Diplomacy is Not an Option: Shareware. But it’s not the end — we're far from over, not even close![p]
You’ve probably noticed that the Undead lack some features compared to the usual DiNaO gameplay. The next major update ought to rectify that! [p]
The Undead will receive:

• A research tree.
  
• Their own version of the Market.
  
• A new resource type.
  
• And more units!
  

WIP

But while there’s still some time before all of those appear in the game, we couldn’t leave you without a gift. So here are Anniversary Challenges with 2 new missions for you to conquer — fight forces of nature and survive long enough! The game is also 55% off till October 6, so don’t miss it. And let’s talk a bit more about the next big update mentioned above!

As usual, the full list of changes is under the cut.
