Diplomacy is Not an Option, will officially launch out of Early Access and into its full 1.0 version on October 4, 2024.

Combining base-building, survival mechanics, strategic warfare, and an innovative active pause system, Diplomacy is Not an Option takes place in a medieval fantasy world. The player assumes the position of a minor lord who is constantly under attack and must fight to protect his realm. In order to survive the constant assault of more than 25,000 enemies besieging their castle, players must become experts in engineering, economic management, and even magic.

The game has received a lot of praise for its innovative gameplay and fun community since it debuted in Early Access in February 2022. Diplomacy is Not an Option's content will grow to more than 100 hours of gameplay with the upcoming 1.0 release, which will include a full story campaign.
