I'm playing Warlords and can more or less keep up with the AI at Emperor level, but cannot win a Diplomatic Victory. Help needed for me and all other peacemongers / builders.
Yes....I can try doing it this way, but I'm trying to do it ultra peacefully - only going to war when declared on, or maybe if my friend asks me to join in against my enemy (even this is dodgy for votes at the end of the day).
I can get the UN ok and even become UN Sec Gen, and even be half way up the points scoreboard but can't get the required votes for a diplomatic win. Can it be done without conquering half the world?
Ok, if it can be done, I'll keep going at it.
I can't seem to do triangle diplomacy as the options I am trying to push are rarely available.
Do you have any recommendations re leader or map size? I have been going for non-agressive leaders with nice early buildings/advantages - Ottomans are a good one I think.
On size though I'm not sure - more opponents gives even greater scope for "you traded with my enemy" and all sorts of other demands coming in.
+12 is irrelevant (you need to check how much your rival had!)Thanks for those links. I have Spiceants "Diplomatic Victory - observations, notes and tips" printed out and do refer to it - though now that Warlords is out I wonder if some things have changed.
By the way, in case others want a taste of how difficult this is, some time ago in one game, Ramses was +12 -0 with me and still voted for my rival!
