Diplomacy is Not an Option

About the game

You play a minor lord stuck between a hard-drinking, war-loving king, scheming advisors and enemies on every side. While the king fights abroad, the home provinces decay and starve, peasants rise in revolt, and you are the one sent to crush the rebellions and later to sail for distant lands in search of treasure. Diplomacy is Not an Option is a castle defence and strategy game where more than 10,000 enemy units can storm your walls at once. Projectiles follow real trajectories, so archers firing over walls lose range and accuracy, elevated towers help, and a catapult boulder that hits a cliff does nothing. You plan gates, kill zones and fall-back lines, and manage food, wood, stone, iron and gold to keep the army fed. Soldiers can starve, disease spreads, and the dead need a proper burial, since tainted magic can stir them. A merchant dirigible brings emergency supplies, and magic can call down huge fireballs. Besides the campaign there is an Endless Mode with the full tech tree on procedurally generated maps.
