*shrug* it's not a no diplomacy game. Every single action has some diplomatic context, even which tile you move a unit to, where you settle cities.
My iron fist opinion:
Don't spell stuff. Obviously. Fish-for-fish stuff is fine. Trying to be Sevenishly cryptic "iron + horse +7gpt means incoming knights in seven turns" is a grey area; I think it's often enough hilariously misinterpreted that it should be fine. No cities offered unless at war seems reasonable. Cuts reasonable sales out, but "reasonable" is hella fraught.

Are you planning to say anything else about it before we start to make keep/pass desicions concerning the leaders? Do you need some further input from the players at this point?Map is about 3 man-hours in, probably needs another 6-7 man hours at least. I'm running it with Merovech and Ceiliazul as my checkers, this sucker is world-size.  I guess to say about world size/water level, I'm trying to keep Imp and Org roughly even at Monarch level; it's looking lusher than PB13 but not a green hell like the PB16 Duel League. I think I'm good for input now, I'll look at rerolling those who choose to Tuesday evening.

I thought doing stuff like that is a way to secure peace, or do I have that mechanic wrong? It's not a "no diplomacy" game even though you called it that. You know very well that diplomacy is allowed. It's just talking that isn't allowed. (March 2nd, 2014, 19:55)Whosit Wrote: Huh. So, are there trade deals in MP that do cause enforced peace besides peace deals?Nope! Okay, looking at the much reduced/balanced events list...I think EVENTS ON should be less unbalanced than Barbs/Huts, really. Anyone scream in pain at that notion?

I was talking about past games. At least every one of those that I've taken part of recently have been either "no diplo" or "AI diplo"
 Btw I don't mind resource for resource deals happening. I think they are a bit meta in their current form, but they are very close to the more natural approach of simply gifting a resource. And Krill, I reckon there's a difference between things that would happen in any game (cities being settled, units moving) and things that only happen with meta knowledge (sheep for sheep trade).
