Are you interested in large scale variants with lots of imbedded historical context? If so, signups for Medieval Diplomacy A1 have opened! Don't miss out on the fun! https://discord.gg/ZNjmPP6JUg
In an effort to compromise the pro-ads versus anti-ads for games: Post here for your non-live games to cut down on the number of ads but still advertise games. Post game link, WTA or PPSC, and the bet. Note: this doesn't count for special rules games.
I’ve noticed an influx of players who intentionally submit nothing but hold orders for years on end until they are eliminated, even when they’re not in hopeless positions. Often these players take over strong positions in large games, only to act as though their country is in civil disorder but without giving anyone else the chance to take over the position.
Which variant was the first to introduce sealanes? They're very popular in larger variants to allow more fleets to be in the sea at once, but I'm curious as to where they first showed up.
I've come up with a six-player variant that's set in the African Great Lakes region before colonization. It features some rules like portage where armies can transport fleets across land that mean it can't be implemented here. I'm hoping to run a test game on Discord if anyone is interested: https://discord.gg/nHCducMs
Here we will start taking names for whoever wants to play Mitomon’s version of Gobble Earth Teams. The game will be anonymous and have random country assignments. These are the teams:
Large Scale Medieval Variant looking for interested in players! (Discord)
Medieval Diplomacy is looking to run 1-2 games this september! It's a massive European variant set in the year 1201. Featuring very cool mechanics™️ like crusades, excommunication, multiple player holy roman dysfunction, you are sure to have a good time. Join server and check it out if you're interested! https://discord.gg/ZNjmPP6JUg
I was looking through the Variants tab and noticed that the average turn length in the Canton Diplomacy variant is listed as 195.51 turns. This looked a bit odd, since even 20 years of all 5 game phases is only 100 turns, and many games don't get that far.
I think the Classic setup of almost 5 supply centers per player works really well for variants of 7 players or more. I think a setup of between 3.5 and 5 supply centers per player is good. You want the possibility of large relative swings in supply center counts, you want tactics to play an important role and you don't want the end game to be a slog, so you don't want the number of supply centers per player to be too high. At the same time, you also don't want the possibility of players straight up being defeated after a stab with no chance of coming back, so you also don't want a gimmick setup of e.g. 1 supply center per player.
Unfortunately, many variants have too many supply centers for my taste. Especially the variants with a large number of players can become a slog if the number of supply centers is too high.
The couple of variants that do have the number of centers that I like are hard to balance, and most of them indeed are unbalanced. For instance, I like the idea of https://vdiplomacy.net/variants.php?variantID=114 but Rus is clearly unbalanced. I like https://vdiplomacy.net/variants.php?variantID=2 as well, but it is very unbalanced, too (and pigeon holes many powers into doing specific things). I tried to improve on it with https://vdiplomacy.net/variants.php?variantID=129 but in hindsight I am unhappy with what I did to Antarctica.
However I think Fantasy World Diplomacy (https://vdiplomacy.net/variants.php?variantID=44) is very well balanced. One might think Hamra and Rajasthan are too weak, but I believe that is just due to weaker players irrationally targeting them. I think these countries are stronger than Austria would be in Classic without a developed meta. So Fantasy World Diplomacy would be my vote for an underrated variant.
Kievan Rus is so screwed in Crusades 1201. In hindsight changing the fleet to another army and maybe adjusting the borders with Hungary would probably work better.
The map’s a bit crowded, and the rules may seem complex (but really aren’t too difficult), but my whole regular group of variant explorers was really impressed with:
13th Century Mongolian Empire https://www.vdiplomacy.com/variants.php?variantID=138
I’d also strongly concur on Fantasy World.
I’m also a fan of World Diplomacy, think vX was an improvement, but would agree on the Antarctica comment.
I also enjoy the simplicity of War in 2020 https://www.vdiplomacy.com/variants.php?variantID=61
and the strategy of Who Controls America https://www.vdiplomacy.com/variants.php?variantID=43
The rest are either newer and growing at a good clip in games played here, or well over a 100 games played here.
I think Haven is put down a bit because it is fairly imbalanced for a variant requiring 20 players, but I think its mechanics of public supply centers and a central fast travel location are pretty fun. It would be fun if future variants expanded on the idea.
Seconded. Really complex to think about knights and flips a lot of standard diplo (push forward in uniform lines amphibiously) out the window in favor of an all out get-what-you-can approach (see https://vdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=60301#gamePanel war between Spanish Habsburgs and the Ecclesiastical Lands)
