12 Sep 14 UTC | Spring, 1901: (Infinity1): hi |
12 Sep 14 UTC | Spring, 1901: (cnorment14): hey |
12 Sep 14 UTC | Spring, 1901: (cnorment14): Ok so I will be playing but you can ask me for advice during the game. |
12 Sep 14 UTC | Spring, 1901: (cnorment14): starting advice ally people or at least start talking with other people. You will need allies to win this game |
12 Sep 14 UTC | Spring, 1901: (boomsticky): You will also need to betray some if these people to get a step up, depending on your morals |
12 Sep 14 UTC | Spring, 1901: (Infinity1): alrighty then |
12 Sep 14 UTC | Spring, 1901: (cnorment14): Yes betraying people is fine and is expected. But for me I like to keep one ally throughout the game unless I see an opportunity to win |
12 Sep 14 UTC | Spring, 1901: (SodomySeymour): i can't say i'm surprised that conway is the one who said to betray people |
12 Sep 14 UTC | Spring, 1901: (boomsticky): Yeah. It's kinda come to bite me in the ass since many people attack me from the start. Moral if the story? Play smart. Chris has the right idea I try and team up with somebody and work together. It's worked quite well for the two of us. |
12 Sep 14 UTC | Spring, 1901: (SodomySeymour): well for what it's worth jon bon said not to trust either of you |
12 Sep 14 UTC | Spring, 1901: (boomsticky): Because I once convince JonBon and Delilah (nobles grad) to fight each other instead of me. I won that game. |
12 Sep 14 UTC | Spring, 1901: (cnorment14): I have never betrayed jon bon |
12 Sep 14 UTC | Spring, 1901: (cnorment14): he has betrayed me countless times |
12 Sep 14 UTC | Spring, 1901: (boomsticky): delicious |
12 Sep 14 UTC | Spring, 1901: (boomsticky): A finished game will usually look something like this http://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=5357#gamePanel |
12 Sep 14 UTC | Spring, 1901: (boomsticky): It's also worth noting some countries are easier than others. I've found that Turkey and maybe France to go pretty smoothly, while Germany and Austria are tougher due to their location. Countries are picked randomly, so you get what you get. I've also seen every country on this map win at least once, so it's not like you're completely fucked if you get a "harder" one. |
12 Sep 14 UTC | Spring, 1901: (cnorment14): Austria is the hardest though |
12 Sep 14 UTC | Spring, 1901: (boomsticky): It's tough, yeah, but I've won as Austria #humblebrag |
12 Sep 14 UTC | Spring, 1901: (OliverBass): You're saying that Germany and Austria are the hardest because they are surrounded by other countries? |
12 Sep 14 UTC | Spring, 1901: (cnorment14): Austria is hard for that reason yes. Germany has an escape towards the north though and has some easy grabs that make it much easier. England and Turkey are the easiest though russia is also easy |
