Diplo guiding must be stopped
This is the practice where players use diplos to negate zones of control and move forces past forts etc. Its unrealistic and should be stopped.

I agree with the Horse

It really is rather silly, and negates what should be, (in reality and in gameplay) a strong strategic position.

I agree, as much as its a strategy that I use, its an abuse of the game engine, not maintaining the spirit of the game. Using diplos and spys to cut through defenses without a battle is not realistic and is a pseudo-cheat

Well, our diplomats still deserve protection, u know...

And I think there should be implemented a way to stealth our units in some way! But I recognize that there has been an abuse of diplomats.

You can 'stealth' small groups of soldiers like scouts and special forces teams but to all intents and purposes its impossible to stealth a division. I always put the spy unit aggressive options down to an SAS operation rather than 007.

AH: if you don't like it, then don't use it in a game- The computer doesn't use it, why should you

Urban- he said why it should be stopped- "And YOU accuse HIM of SPAMMING ", sheesh, hypocrite...
