"We have a very large and dedicated fan base and we normally select our BETA testers exclusively from this group. However, with Diplomacy having such a wide appeal and managing to attract casual gamers as well as hardcore strategy gamers, we want to make sure all these groups are given the chance to contribute" says Johan Andersson, Producer at Paradox Interactive. "The development process is reaching its most exciting peak and we can't wait to get started!"
