Overview: | Creating a world of dynamically shifting alliances and intriguing diplomatic exchanges between over 40 factions while making sure the player is having fun is not a small challenge in a sandbox grand strategy game. This retrospective talk reveals how the developers implemented the Diplomacy AI in Total War: Three Kingdoms, how they re-shaped the system they had carried over from our previous game, what techniques, tricks and design philosophy they used, and how this impacted the game's overall quality.
