The next card in the new set is the new Diplomacy. This one is very interesting.
# 2 Diplomacy II
Primary Ability: Demilitarized Zone
Choose either a) or b).
a)Choose 1 system containing a planet you control. Each opponent must place one of his Command Counters into the system from his reinforcements.
b) Execute the secondary ability of this card without paying a Command Counter or any influence.
Secondary Ability: Peaceful Annexation
Spend 1 Command Counter from your Strategy Allocation area and 3 influence to claim an empty planet adjacent to aaa system you control. Place you control marker on the planet.
Original #2 Diplomacy
Primary Ability : Diplomatic Envoy
Name an opponent. For the remainder of this phase, neither you nor that opponent may activate a system containing units of the other player (including ground forces and PDS).
Secondary Ability: Economic Stimulus
Spend one Command Counter from your Strategy Allocation area to refresh up to two of your exausted (non- Home System) Planet Cards.
I like the new Diplomacy a lot. It retains the same flavor as the original, yet it is a lot more flexible. Play that bad boy on Mecatol Rex and no oncan attack you. Generally speaking, the old diplomacy was usually played just to protect one system anyway, so not much is lost. The secondary will definately help speed along the early game, and it seems to be all around more useful anyway.
Bonus Info:
BTW, Any of you thinking this is a sweet way to steal Mecatol Rex, no such luck. Mecatol Rex now has ancient guardians, and you have to blast your way through them to take it!
