The AI provides a solid challenge against players, and online battles could possibly take weeks at a time thanks to the ability to save multiplayer games and come back to them later. The armchair strategist in all of us can always use a challenge, and Diplomacy more than fits that bill.

Fans of the boardgame, especially those unable to easily find opponents, will have a lot to like here. And while the single-player game lacks the punch of facing off against real people, it does allow players to hone their Diplomacy skills and take their game to the next level.

Paradox Interactive has made an extremely faithful recreation of the board game and its rules. Every rule, every detail is folowed to letter.

Buy Diplomacy for its excellent single-player mode. That's a hard thing to say about a PC version of the world's greatest multiplayer game, but there you have it. [Holiday 2005, p.79]

For the deep-thinking gamer, Diplomacy fits the bill. It's definitely not without its faults, but fans of turn-based action will fully appreciate what Diplomacy has to offer.

It has a pretty steep learning curve, but in the end, it's worth it.

Ultimately, Diplomacy is no fun at all when you are playing by yourself, but a bit better when playing with others over a network.
