Very neat idea, and overall it is more well-done than I assumed a vibe-coded game would be. Unfortunately I ran out of time and now the game locks me out of doing anything and I don't know who the murderer is :( I wish there was just a way to have it revealed. I've always thought that a game like Civilization should allow the user to interact with different opposing world leaders, but in a non-deterministic way as opposed to a subset of fixed interactions. Given what you know about this leader's temperament, goals, and so on, you can conduct diplomacy in a way that can be way more immersive and crafty than what the game currently gives you, which hasn't seem to evolve much in decades.

sorry :( I will think about this some more, the only reason I have to lock people out is because I can't afford the current costs lol

  Diplomacy is great but computationally suffers from deterministic outcomes - some starts are better than others, there are actual optimal moves to make, you can (and should) play to a stalemate, etc. which take away from the fun - playing against the best moves to make vs against a crafty person.

    There is a new Diplomacy card game (The Golden Blade) that is that is shorter and more approachable (plus no player elimination) and not solvable. You still play secret orders; it is just that now your "borders" are your left and right opponent. You can still work together for extra benefit or betray your neighbor and backstab them. Obviously, there is a lot less potential for complex tactics each turn but it still gives some of the vibes of the classic in a format that is easy to get to the table. There are a lot of YT videos from content creators that you can get a sense of how it plays. Source: I designed it :) (sorry for the minor self promotion)
