tommyn:a bit offtopic: but well I for example can do well in both mp and singleplayer
And diplomacy in FFAs?
U really think there is SKILL in diplomacy???
Diplomacy in civ5 mp comes down to:
dont do RAs with leader
We have played together before so we r friends - lets be friends in this game
I dont like you
You are good/bad so I like you
honestly as relations are allways dependent on feelings, with envy being one of strongest human feelsings there cant be a true diplomacy which is dependent on the game but which is dependent on general circumstances.
Like is the guy next to me some admin
Did he kill me before in another game
And so on ...
So no diplomacy isnt about skill at all imo. If I want play psycho games I go talk to womans and get a but civ is a strategic game for me - so diplomacy should be based on numbers (as in sp) but that cant be true for mp. So screw diplo.
Apart that diplo is usually just opposite of how reallity works.
In reallity people usually try to be friendly with the strongest in civ its usually other way round. STOP
Relations ships is a huge part of the game i think...example:if i play along side NQ-DON(donhenriko)i will never trust him in a game..our relationship suck big time(and we live 3 min apart in real life).diplomacy is getting better each time someone plays eachother,or maybe it getting wurse like and don...i like talking 2 others when playing..discussing the leader,tactics,whta 2 do next,share lux,making agreementsand so on!!i loving it when i getting rushed and defending like hell so he looses competion to win the game(so next time he think twice when he is attacking)..
relations is a huge part of community and the game..
