Posts from Is diplomacy necessary?

And again, I disagree with you...

Okay, okay, I'm reading it now :D
But personally, I have a very negative attitude towards diplomacy – it's just not interesting. Of course, you can play with it, but not against the computer :)

I personally wouldn't choose diplomacy; I'd rather go for ballistics or something else, but it's still better than some other skills.

Actually, all these statements like "I recruited 500 minotaurs!", "I recruited 200 titans!", "I recruited 100,000,000 azure dragons!" don't seem very convincing. I don't know what constants are used in random maps, where half a thousand monsters grow in 4 months, which are eager to join, but in campaigns and scenarios, diplomacy is a completely useless skill.

I'll say this:
sometimes, in 3-4 game months, 500 monks join. They just don't necessarily have to be in one group...
183 red dragons joined me. That's my personal record:)
And in general, diplomacy is not the most useless skill. You can recruit creatures, and you can almost bribe your way out for free if you're caught far from home...
Of course, it's needed, but you need to know the measure:)
In an online tournament, it's really not useful - it's unfair... I would say it's unsportsmanlike:):)

I don't consider diplomacy to be an essential skill, but sometimes I take it just for fun. Anyway, skills that can be applied in a more practical way are much more important.

:eek: :eek: :eek: WOW! Guys, I used to think diplomacy was useless! I should try it out! :eek: Well, get ready! :smile51:

Don't threaten me here)). It's not useless, there are just many much better skills than diplomacy. It doesn't take priority. I don't really understand how it can help at all. I don't think the opponent will offer you a surrender... Especially if it also costs little. It's completely pointless for them. And creatures don't always join you as you want. For example, 6 creatures from a Rampart might join your full stack. And you only have 2 dragons. Will you take the creatures? I think they won't be useful, they'll only lower morale, and besides, you won't have enough of them even for a couple of weeks, but you can grow the same number of dragons in a couple of weeks.
But of course, you can try it)))

Getting dragons in a couple of weeks is great, of course. But besides dragons, I think you'll need others too. And all of this costs money. And that's where diplomacy comes in handy. You can sometimes compromise on morality. I don't think anything bad will happen. Besides, you can increase it before the battle.

Diplomacy plays a significant role in offline tournaments, where time is a criterion for victory, and even a few powerful units, by lowering the morale of the troops, can help break through the neutral territories a week faster than without them...

In other cases, it brings more difficulties than advantages... And certainly, most skills are much more useful than diplomacy for the quality of the game.

For me, an army should be strong and, consequently, numerous. Therefore, diplomacy is a necessity. A silly question: what difficulties can arise from it?

When you have a huge army, but every time the creatures skip their turn due to terrible morale, that's a problem. When you're thinking about which units to take and which to discard, and this forces you to change your strategy, that's a problem. When you sacrifice a good skill because of it, that's a problem. Did you ask about this?

If there is magic to cloud the mind, then you can sacrifice a couple of warriors.

Are you talking about Subjugation? Yeah, I agree, it's a good spell, but how much will it help you if your warriors can't move?

My units are standing still, while the enemy units are shooting at each other. I enjoy mesmerizing archers. And no problem.

Remind me, please, wasn't it the same as in the 5th part – you can only apply the enchantment to one enemy monster? And does the effect dissipate due to recoil, or not? I just don't remember.

Yes, I don't remember very well myself. I know that there is this spell. I haven't played in a long time.
And in the 5th part, there is no "Suggestion" spell. There is only "Plague" and "Confusion," which are also quite good.
