Will be interesting to see if they can finally create a game with a
good diplomatic AI (including backstabbing et al.)...

They only posted this today!

P.S. From what people have said, Paradox won't need to get their AI to play
that well, and it could still be much better than the Hasbro AI. :^(

Obviously any attempt to make a Diplomacy PC game stands and falls
with the quality of the AI. Chess programmes are very good, so I guess
recruiting chess programmers might be worth considering.

And then the game would need a dialogue interface which offers all
sorts of negotation ploys and covers DMZs, mutual supports, SC
swapping and the lot.
