The At the Gates v1.4 Diplomacy Design Plan is now available to read! The overall goal is to make diplomacy more proactive and strategically meaningful. With v1.4 the idea is to get the basics (mainly war and peace) right and then add depth in v1.5+. jonshaferondesign.com/2020/0…

What games or systems have been highlights for you on the diplomacy front? I've been doing a lot of research here lately in terms of what's worked, what hasn’t, and why and I’ll be sharing my own thoughts in next week's update.

Hey all, hope you're as well as can be expected given the circumstances. I'm working on a big update for diplomacy in AtG for v1.3 and will be posting my design plan for that next week.

Okay, listen. I don't usually shout out particular games after I've played them on @CurseGamepedia, but this is a special occasion. @JonShaferDesign's At the Gates is one of very few 4X games I've played that truly makes me want to dig in and LEARN it. I absolutely ADORE it.

The 6th and final At the Gates weekly update dedicated to the game's art & sound is another recap of the previous week's daily updates, as with only 2 (!) days left until release I gotta keep my eye on the prize. We're so close now! atthegatesgame.com/news/week…
