Last night I was playing with parley macros to make my civic diplo grinding ezer and stubled apon something interesting.

PLAY MULTIPLE CARDS EXPLOIT!

make a macro like this

/parleyplay X
/parleyspeak
/parleyplay X
/parleyspeak

X = the card in your strategy you want to use 0 being the first card, 4 being the last card.
start a parley and press this macro once, first press will give you messages about no card being selected and/or not enough expression, this is due to the delay it takes for the card to move to the parley window takes longer then it does for it to execute the speak command.

now here is where it got interesting, press the macro a second time and all the cards in that macro play at the same time! thats right you can play 2 or more cards in the same turn (have tested it with 2 and 3 cards and worked 100% of the time, have not tried any more then 3 though) remember that expression costs still aply, but if the first card in the macro is one that gives you expression, and the second card uses that expression, they will both play in that single round.

with this marco exploit i have found some very useful combination, as you can imagine the possibilities are endless.

KEEP DIPLO CIVIC BUFF CARD EXPLOIT!!

again something I discovered by chance, while grinding civic diplo I activated the "legendary Items" diplo buff, kept on playing and while i had the buff the nightly server reset came around, I kept playing till the server kicked me, and to my surprise when i logged back in I still had the buffs card in my ability book with no buff for it active on me, 2 days latter i still have it. I have yet to try and recreate this so I can not garentee that it works 100% but I am pretty sure it will.

USEFUL DIPLO MACROS!

here are some useful diplo marcos to make grinding civics faster and ezer, fist the commands and what they do.

/parleyplay X (as sated above plays a card in your deck 0-4)
/parleylisten (you could probably guess this, but it listens for that round, aka passes your turn)
/parleyspeak (speak action, plays the card you have selected)
/parleycontinue (just like clicking the continue button on the diolog window when a parley is over to close the windows)
/parleyassess (opens dialog with targeted npc to the parley options avalbile)

A macro I use with these commands that is pretty usefull.

/lootall
/parleycontinue
/parleyassess

this is for when a parley ends, it will loot any information or items that you get, closes the parley window, and brings up parley dialog from the targeted NPC (being the same one you parleyed with if you did not switch targets during the parley for some reason)

Hope you guys like these and find them useful, also hope its good enough for a subscription ^_^

tested, works, mod yay
moved to confirmed and submitted

Hey all,

Just a quick update I have been playing around with this and it still works, as a matter of fact it works even better then stated above since you can actualy do 5 cards at once. There is only one small problem and that is all the different cards have an icon that flashes above your head when you play that type, so when you play 2-5 types then guess what you get several icons at once...so just a word to the wise...make sure you are alone when doing this it is very easy to be spotted and reported.

IRT the multiple icons showing up...couldnt you just make sure your playing cards of all the same type? just saying if you HAD to do it around people...

playing cards of all the same type would work fine. my macro uses 3 reason cards so no one really knows

Maybe I am doing this wrong, I think I must have i get no card selected as you said I would. I hit the macro again and it says it again, and again and again...any suggestions?

Sorted..has to be a space between parleyplay and the #

I don't think I understand this 100%
I made a macro in AutoIt3 that looks like this
It tells me that i already have a card playing and that it is not my turn.

How exactly are you guys doing it?

Try reversing your cards also your first card should be "0" not "1"

/parleyplay 0
/parleyspeak
/parleyplay 1
/parleyspeak
/parleyplay 2
/parleyspeak
/parleyplay 3
/parleyspeak

Not sure if it will matter but it works in this order for me
Also all the "sends" you have are greek to me, this works within the game system itself using one of your empty keys, the whole "r" click and set up macro. Not to sure what the benifit would be to have it auto, would probably be easier to just have a macro/bot push one hotkey you had setup in game with the above macro..

This should fix your problem if you are using a standard 5 card belt then card 5 does not exist so it would be a little confused.

Hope this helps

Yeah I figured out later that the keys are 0-4. Even when I set those up I still had trouble with them. I couldn't get the macros to work. I don't understand how to make the other macros? Right clicking? Im new to the game as of yesterday so... I don't know how to make the ingame macros.

Actually after reading your post I managed to clear it up. When typed like I had it done it doesn't seem to work. When I made it into an ingame macro then it did work. I double click the Icon I made and all 3 play at once.

Thanks

No problem, get yer diplomacy in and skilled up before they catch on and nerf/ err.. fix it:)

In addition to this...
make a /parleylisten macro as said above, but after you play a card if you hit the macro right away it will count as another turn points wise for you (making you an extra point ahead if the parley is going your way), but the NPC will not have had a a chance to play a card.

This works every time you play a card~

this is the best exploit ive seen anyone post on these forums so far, thank you!

Ive taken to time to write a simple script for this using AutoIt. I know I didn't use Exume, sue me.

Its pretty simple.

Setup your cards in a fashion where you more or less can't lose.

I use cards with low refresh times that gives 1-2 points and require nothing as well as mixing in cards that give 2 yellow and use 2 yellow and have them all run back to back.

Your opponent uses the same cards no matter what type of game. So fit your deck to beat his.

Then make a macro that plays ALL 5 cards at once.

Then basically play the parleys that you know you can win without problem. Normally setup right u can win 2/3 or 3/4 availible parleys.

I then setup a delay for my script, knowing all the parleys are over to wait until they refresh. Rinse/repeat.

Though I haven't found a huge use for the crap I get from them, the only info buyer I've found seems to be broken. I think you might be able to get some sweet crafting recipes from various craft NPCs around 350 diplomacy, maybe less.

I'd give my script but due to the setup part it would take me days to explain. Write it yourself. You might learn something. Never thought I'd ever catch myself saying that..

Could you post it or PM me the script. I posted my script in the other thread and it's rather easy to me. I would like to take a look at yours to see how you took advantage of this trick.
