There are too few games like this an "They are Billions", I really like to build up my base, balance expansion/ressources and to defend against waves of enemies at the same time. I'm not good at it, but iht scratches the right places of my brain.

Good game, however a lot will depend on if you are an avid RTS and tower defense player or not. I think this is a better game for players that are not as experienced with it as me and play it on middle difficulties. The hardest difficulty was fun for the first few maps but was also a bit of a slog, after that it really got a bit too grindy for me. The easier difficulties on the other hand was a bit too easy and made the game not interesting. I'm quitting mid campaign at this point because I'm not having fun anymore but I got my moneys worth out of it for sure.

Been waiting for this game to get out of EA for a long time and its finally released out of EA, Great job Devs! The game is reminiscent of Stronghold series, There are Billions, Total War series and Warcraft 3 influences. The graphics are chill and low key but still have a good fidelity to them. If you like RTS, strategy, mass units with epic battles/siege tower defense and some goofy medieval humor... this game has it!

AI could use work, attackers will go for the wall you built over the hole they put in it and you have to baby your troops to make sure they attack the enemy, other wise fun and entertaining game!

**Review updated** Buy this game. It scratches a deep itch for gamers. Even the enjoyment I got out of the first 2 hours is worth the asking price. This is pretty clearly inspired by Stronghold, the incredible RTS castle builder from 2001. That's not usually a good thing; Stronghold still runs well, plays well, and looks gorgeous, 23 years later. Few good competitors have come around because of just how incredible Stronghold actually is. Diplomacy is Not an Option takes that as a compliment. It is on par with Stronghold. It is enjoyable through and through, offering a good challenge and progression tree. What really amazes me is how the game focuses on the parts we care about. The layout of defenses is what matters most; resource management tends to be pretty easy. Even if you only play for two hours, buy this game.
