BE CAREFUL, SPOILERS AHEAD [expand type=details] In the previous mission you showed your skills at surviving in harsh climate and building your settlement. Now it’s time to show your prowess in battle. This land is also occupied by hordes of filthy undead. And the easiest way to make it free? Take their leader’s head!
Of course he is surrounded by heavy defenses and the Undead don’t fear death, but you didn’t expect the mission to be easy, did you? Besides, you have the finest Sarranga warriors at your disposal - use them as you see fit. Will you make a desperate charge or a deliberate plan? Set a cunning ambush or fight honorably? In any case, don’t die. You don’t want to live the rest of your life as an undead, do you?
This is it for today’s Diary - but Sarranga’s story has just started!

Hiring an Italian proofreader
Good Lords, Fair Ladies! As you know, the game is translated into multiple languages. And all of those translations require proofreading. So, we are hiring a native Italian proofreader on a short-term contract.
You can reach us via these contacts: Discord: moto_kattie E-mail: kate@door407.com
We will be very grateful if someone responds! There is very little time left until the release, we all are looking forward to this day!

Development Diary (Part 22)
Good Lords, Fair Ladies!
As we mentioned in the previous Diary, today we start exploring a new arc of the story.
BE CAREFUL, SPOILERS AHEAD [expand type=details] Do you remember the Sarranga tribes you’ve met upon arriving on the Uncharted Continent? What if you could throw away all the troubles of your homeland, forget the King, the Rebels and their foolish struggle, join the locals and live a simple life? Well, you can.
Of course, leaving a struggle behind, you invite another one to take its place. As an alien in these lands you have to earn respect in the eyes of the natives. And the best way to do it? To take part in their rituals, obviously. Thus you find yourself in the middle of a wasteland surrounded by hostile wildlife and scarce resources. And all of that spiced up with extreme weather conditions and regular droughts.
So you have to survive in the harsh conditions and gain the natives’ trust by physically abusing their deity… Oh, and please, kill those undead monsters peacefully chilling in their camps. Their deaths may become the turning point in your and Sarrangas’ mutual relationship!
Sounds like by far the most unique mission in the game, isn’t it? But there are more! See you in the next Diary!
Yours, the Door 407 dev team
Development Diary (Part 21)
Good Lords, Fair Ladies!
Here we are, finally at the end of the Rebels’ story arc… Let’s take a look at another, but not the last, part of the campaign!
BE CAREFUL, SPOILERS AHEAD [expand type=details] Every story needs a culmination, and the Rebels’ one is no exception! That’s why in this final mission you are facing a massive city with impenetrable defenses you need to crush into dust. Gather armies under your banner, build siege engines, plunder all the gold you find, rain down hell - all in order to reach and destroy a single building enemies will be protecting to the last drop of blood.
Diplomacy is Not an Option, and so is retreat!
And we’ve finished the Rebels’ story! Which part of it did you like the most? This is not the end of the Diaries though, as we are exploring another arc of the story in the next one!

Development Diary (Part 20)
Good Lords, Fair Ladies!
There are a couple of missions left in the Rebels’ story arc, and today we are looking at one of them!
BE CAREFUL, SPOILERS AHEAD [expand type=details] You’ve been waiting for crabs, haven’t you? And they’ve been waiting for you! That’s why they attack you the moment you settle in your brand-new Town Hall. And this time it won’t be massive attacks every couple of days, but constant raids - small at first, then larger and larger the longer you stay on the map - pressing you towards completing the main objective and escaping this shellfish-infested hell!
But it’s not all that simple. The way to the objective is blocked by a group of especially massive crustaceans - so you’ll have to get rid of them first!
Now that’s another Dev Diary finished. But we still have more to show!
Yours, the Door 407 dev team
Development Diary (Part 19)
Good Lords, Fair Ladies!
We are steadily moving towards the end of the Rebels’ story arc. Here’s another Diary and another mission covered!
BE CAREFUL, SPOILERS AHEAD [expand type=details] So you’ve chosen this mission instead of fighting bugs - which means you’ve chosen to suffer attacks from Heffalumps! These gigantic creatures move through the narrow mountain valley where you had a misfortune to place your Town Hall. And they won’t stop or turn around, neither will they carefully circumvent it. This means you have to kill them all.
And as always, don’t forget to clear the map before the last attack. Because you don’t want it to be stronger than it already is.
And that's all about today’s mission. But there are still missions left to explore!
Yours, the Door 407 dev team
Development Diary (Part 18)
Good Lords, Fair Ladies!
The release is closer and closer, but we hope to cover the rest of the missions before that. So today is the time for the next one!
BE CAREFUL, SPOILERS AHEAD [expand type=details] Are you doing your part?
Yes. This time the map is filled with bugs, and not that kind of bugs you report to us (hopefully). Your mission, if you choose to accept it - because once again you can choose between two - will lead you to a mountain valley, where you’ll need to survive for a whole month under constant attacks of critters. Fend off attacks, clear the map so all the bugs there won’t join the final wave, making it even stronger. Especially since there are bug Queens spawning and spawning even more bugs.
So you might want to go after their heads quickly. Just don’t underestimate them.
And that’s it for today’s diary! But we’ll return with another one soon!
Yours, the Door 407 dev team
Final Release Date Announcement!
Good Lords, Fair Ladies!
Couple of months ago we showed the trailer announcing the release window of Diplomacy is Not an Option, and many of you asked us about the exact day it was to happen. At that moment we weren’t able to tell you that because the release day wasn’t decided yet. But today we are ready. So, without further ado, the trailer! Diplomacy is Not an Option releases 4 October 2024!
The final countdown has started!
Yours, the Door 407 dev team
Development Diary (Part 17)
Good Lords, Fair Ladies!
Tower Defense Fest is in full swing and thanks to your amazing support the game managed to take place on the first pages in multiple categories! Meanwhile, another Diary is waiting for your attention.
BE CAREFUL, SPOILERS AHEAD [expand type=details] Remember the Dragon from the trailer? Yes, this is the mission where you’ll finally meet him.
For an incredibly important reason you need to get into the Dragon’s lair - and no dragon likes that. Of course, you could probably try to lure it out, but are you ready for the Undead to turn it into the undead Dragon? Oh, have we forgotten to mention there are undead on the map? And they also want to get to the flying lizard.
But more importantly, they want to get to you. Especially after you steal what they are after. So get ready to defend your castle and train your army to become dragon slayers!
Oh, and prepare them to fight off the final massive undead attack after that.
That’s it for today, but Dev Diaries are far from over!
Yours, the Door 407 dev team
