After turn 4 processes . . . until turn 5 processes.
ahh, thnx. really dont know why these games are not full chat each and every turn, makes the game much more fun.
Frequent forum watchers will know this has been discussed, I dare say, for years now. If players will recall, there was such opposition to the advantages of full diplomacy to the dedicated diplomatic player that a sizeable portion of the player base left as they were not interested in spending so much of their available game time on hashing out agreements, at that time dominated by non-aggression pacts, usually game long, or else face enduring for a short while as a lone wolf.
The result was nearly all games for nearly two years were Anonymous or the modified Silent, either with no diplomacy at all.
Then we developed the popular forum only diplomacy, and therein a compromise to the players preferring Silent, to restrict diplomacy to End of (Late) Season forum diplomacy with no NAPS or Allies. This has been well received as it was about universally agreed that NAP's in their forms were damaging the game and removing the fun for the players less enthusiastic about being part of a cabal. By corollary, through these steps we have largely removed the odor of coordinated multiple kingdom attacks on a single kingdom, which causes bad feelings.
