I strongly recommend this game to anyone who is interested in tower defense games and city builders. Missions are challenging, Campaign story is fun, Unique research & spells ,High Quality voice acting, Diverse enemy types. Felt like Stronghold and They are billions mix.

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.

I strongly recommend this game to anyone who is interested in tower defense games and city builders - if you always wanted your city builder to have some pressure or military side to it, this is for you. It's very charming and a fun short session style builder (with speed up mechanics). If you've never tried a game like this, I recommend it. It is a straightforward game that can be easy but has a high skill ceiling. It has a sandbox mode and will have a campaign. If you are a new player to the genre, you can stop reading here. For genre veterans; If you came here from They Are Billions or any similar city builder/tower defender looking for more, I am sad to inform you it doesn't do what TAB does better in any way. Again, I only brushed the surface, but the combat doesn't work as well, the maps aren't as large, and the concept isn't as interesting. The tech tree is very straight forward, there are limited enemy types, and even the method of expansion on the map is less interesting. There's less to do overall in almost every category. If you are looking for more They Are Billions, your wait must continue - because this game adds nothing.
