[Battlemind]

Do you play Rise of Nations? In that case, let's discuss about the diplomacy options in Rise of Nations. I think all of us agree that diplomacy option add a unique layer to strategy. By the way, do you find diplomacy helpful for winning in the game, or is it more efficient to go on the offensive from the start and put diplomacy on the back seat?

I also strongly believe that diplomacy is central in Rise of Nations. There’s a way it can assist you in times of accessing resources. In diplomacy I choose to delay, gather resources and build my armies before going to war. It is better than to battle at times.
