Product Information
Developed in 1959 by Allan Calhamer and published by Avalon Hill, the original board game of Diplomacy has been a staple on game store shelves for nearly four decades. MicroProse and Hasbro Interactive bring the intrigue and strategy of the game to the PC while faithfully remaining true to the intent and gameplay of the original. <br><br>In Diplomacy: The Game of International Intrigue, set in pre-World War I, you must guide your selected country with all the intricacies of diplomacy through negotiations geared at giving you control of Europe. Choose to play as England, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Turkey or Austria-Hungary. More than a dozen neutral countries add additional strategic considerations to the mix.<br><br>The computer version of this turn-based game offers a choice of nine time-tested variations of the original board game and a timer menu that allows customization of time limits associated with each phase. Turns represent six months each with a total of ten phases divided into Spring (4) and Fall (6) sessions. The first four phases of each include negotiation, issue orders, execute orders and resolve conflicts. The Fall turn adds an additional two phases: adjust strengths and summary. Game default begins in 1901 but can be changed through customization options.<br><br>Diplomacy offers full multi-player support for up to seven human or computer controlled players over the Internet, a LAN, hot seat competition or play-by-e-mail (PBEM) with specific setup options for each. The AI is designed to ensure no single-player game is ever the same and the computer controlled countries can be set to Civil Disorder or AI full control. The game comes with an editor that allows customization in areas such as date, ownership of supply centers, unit removal or addition and victory conditions.<br><br>World peace? Chaos and disorder? The ultimate outcome is up to you in Diplomacy: The Game of International Intrigue.Product Identifiers
