2K Games Announces New Extreme Diplomacy Game Mode for
Sid Meier's Civilization® V​

New combat mode enables world leaders to face off in a death match​

April 1, 2010 - 2K Games announced today a new game mode in Sid Meier's Civilization® V, the upcoming turn-based strategy game from Firaxis Games. Should normal diplomacy or military might fail to resolve conflicts between empires, Extreme Diplomacywould allow two world leaders to enter a death match and fight to the finish, using special attacks and finishing moves. Two world leaders enter; one world leader leaves. The victor will obtain complete control of the challenger's world empire.

An Uber Edition of Sid Meier's Civilization V will include an optional eight-button joystick to bring the classic fighting arcade game feel to these Extreme Diplomacybattles. Additionally, each world leader will have unique special attacks and finishing moves, including:

• George Washington's Uncle Slam Attack
• Oda Nobunaga's Tsunami Train Attack
• Otto von Bismarck's Hurricane Helmet Spike Attack
• Ramesses II's Phalanx of the Leopard Army
• Montezuma's Revenge of the Aztec Army
• Napoleon's Complex Military Strike

In addition to the introduction of hexagon tiles allowing for deeper strategy, more realistic gameplay and stunning organic landscapes for players to explore as they expand their empire, Extreme Diplomacygives Sid Meier's Civilization V players yet another way to take over empires and conquer the world.

Haha, nice April Fools joke.

But it would be fun as hell.

Washington's Uncle Sam Attack would own all!

I'm concerned about the balance between civilizations here. Oda Nobunaga should be one of the more powerful ones, and if he's getting killed in this screenshot by Washington then I think America has been given too much of an advantage to go with the rest of their advantages (malls!).

You know, the more I think about this... the more I would be likely to buy it. It would make for great minigame breaks during long sessions of Civ play. Could you imagine multiplayer?

Bob: Alright, I'm moving on Berlin. Fred, I need some air support...

Bob: FRED! Are you fucking dueling Bismark again? God damn it.
