I’m a fan of strategy video games. Recently I’ve listened to some interesting podcasts of 3MA, discussing about crisis management in video games.
I would like to know what is the more complex diplomacy system developed in a game.
As an example, in Victoria II you have some options for diplomacy (form alliances, prepare a ‘cassus belli’, get access to foreign territory) and advanced options if you are a great power (one of the 8 first countries in the game).
I would like to know which is the most complex system of diplomacy developed on a strategy game. In addition to declare war, peace offer or have granted military access to a foreign country, I think a very comprehensive diplomacy system should deploy options for economic intervention in other countries, to form coalitions not only to attack one common enemy, but to have an economic cooperation, etc.
Maybe Europa Universalis 4 is one of the games that have more options in playing diplomacy, maybe there are other with more possibilities to play the skills of diplomacy.
I appreciate your comments.
