The OTHER South American Series
I am looking for 7 other players to join me in a different kind of South American series. When I saw butterheads post I was all "ooo, thats a good idea" but it turns out he wasnt doing what I thought he was. details inside.

What To Do...?
Once I finish writing this damned research paper, I would probably become very bored with myself (sexual connotation not to be inferred). And because I have already finished my current variant...I was wondering what YOU guys would want me to work on next.

Any chance of the following: Asia-only variant, Africa-only variant, WWII Europe-Asia variant?

@IL TOCCE: I know that krellin is working on a WWII variant along those lines (I think it's called Zeus5) and there is another WWII variant on its way. As far as an Asia variant, you might want to look at Colonial Diplomacy, a map which we have here.
Africa Variant sounds like a good idea, however. Would you all be happy if I started working on an African variant? Maybe something following the end of European colonization?

As far as improvements go... I'd love to see someone freshen up the map for Alacavre:

http://www.vdiplomacy.com/variants.php?variantID=31

Honestly the map just needs a little extra polish; change the text, resize a few provinces so adjacencies are easier to spot, and making the whole thing mesh a little better.

All of you fools...
Discuss my African variant. Key discussion points:
-What should I change?
-What is greatly Historically inaccurate? (Not minor things, but major changes that need to be made.)
-Would you play this variant?
-What would you all think if I made more "The Turn of the Century" Variants?

I think instead of making a variant in which European powers are fighting for control of Africa, you should make it different African tribes/civilizations fighting each other over control... just my 2 cents

butterhead (1272 D)
15 Feb 12 UTC
yet you still respond... well if you can't hear me I guess that I can say whatever I want about you and your variants and you won't know huh ;)
just kidding, but really, it's just a suggestion, you can take it or trash it, doesn't matter to me. I just feel like I Personally would prefer to see 6 or 7 African Powers fighting rather than the European powers. Either way it will still be good though.
King Atom (1186 D)
15 Feb 12 UTC
Yeah, I'm kidding, butterhead. (However, if I had muted you...I could still have seen that there was a recent post, yet I still would be unable to see it. (Automatically knowing that it was you who posted because you would have been the only person that I had muted.))

And lo, I digress...

I understand what you are saying and appreciate your suggestion, but this took me quite some time and I was a little bit frustrated when you said that you would prefer something completely different. I never mute people, by the way, unless I deem them complete assholes, and by far you, butterhead, are not a complete asshole.

More digression...

Your idea sounds like a good one, but it's just not what I was trying to go for.
I also have an idea where one could make a "The Turn of the Century" Variant for each continent, and combine them all! That would truly make a great game......in some cases.

Regardless, feel free to use my map and adapt it to what you had in mind. If you really want to make it yourself, otherwise....I don't know where I was going with this sentence.

Digression Part III

My biggest problem I had with my own variant was that I thought France and Boers were slightly overpowered...and that that put Italy and Portugal at a disadvantage. If anyone has any suggestions to fix this, feel free to let me know.
butterhead (1272 D)
15 Feb 12 UTC
I do not want to take away from the hard work you did, or make you feel like it was for nothing. once again, It seems a very good map and I will most definitely play it. I personally would have done different, but hey, we all would do something different than someone else, that's what makes it a variant right?! but all and all, looking forward to the finished project!
butterhead (1272 D)
15 Feb 12 UTC
Also, A side note to your France/Boers/Portugal problem- It doesn't really seem they are "overpowered" really, as much as Portugal is just underpowered due to it's locations... perhaps giving it a 4th center near its southern most center is would balance it a bit more?

Question about American Conflict
Was this map made with the specific intent that Russia should have a 0% win record? Seriously... one of their centers is utterly incapable of reaching any other center within a year. Another of their centres can only reach one. The third is only able to take a single center, from the British. The SC-happy southeast of the map is ridiculous in comparison to the empty northwest. How is this supposed to work?
