Is there ever a strategic reason to postpone a build? Instinctively, I say nay, but this game is so well conceived and elegantly thought out, there must be a reason that it's an option. Any of you seasoned generals have any notions?
It is proper etiquette to accept a draw if you are going to win?
For the sake of argument, lets say in a no-messaging game that all the other players have moved to draw and moved to traditional stalemate positions, but you still have a strong position to win with 10 scs and two weak neighbors.
The Complete Guide to 1v1 Battles: Part II. Germany v Italy.
The Germany v Italy Map has not been scientifically assessed, thus I am looking for play-testers. In particular, RoxArt and President Eden. I shall present my hypothesis.
My noble diplomacy players, I would just like to apologize for my failure my recent 4 games, my Internet decided to die, and so i was forced to CD from all of my games. I will most likely be leaving for the summer, so better sooner then later. I wish i could have finished off my games, but seeing how I only managed to get on at the library, I will not be able to finish them. Espcially the WWI and II games that may be totally messed up now. Anywho, I will see you all in the fall
I am currently in a game FOW with no ingame messaging at all. One country was defeated very early on, Austria. I can't understand how Italy is doing so well without any messaging of any type! Are there any mods who can take a look please? http://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=2062
Ok, one more try for a PBEM I'll be the GM http://forum.webdiplomacy.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=672&p=3782#p3782 5 Day Spring/Fall Movement Phases 3 Day Retreat/Winter Phases Unless all orders are mailed if so the game advances
I could be persuaded probably although my schedule is getting busier this time of year, and id need a 2 week stoppage in early august for my honeymoon :)
hat build anywhere? cannot someone implement that variant here? sounds fun! :) 1 question about the fleets arriving for norway in 63: what if one of the waters has a unit on it? it gets disbanded on the arrival of those 3 fleets?
Ok, first the questions The if there is a fleet blocking the way then that fleet just doesn't arrive, which is a reasonable counter (I hope) to the invasion. You build on the SC at the winter i.e. Wales Fall 1257 Builds F Caernafon A Cardiff F Havarfordwest
England mariscal, RoxArt Scotland mariscal, D-Mish Wales Open Ireland Fauxlosophe, D-Mish Norway RoxArt, D-Mish drano019 (?) I'll use a random number generator to decide the nations. I'll edit the forum to rephase the rules and my hotmail is acepilotjohn@hotmail.com, send me the orders that way. Should we start the game at say the 12th?
Oh and finally I will use this forum to post the results of the phases, cheers. If I had any mistakes please tell me England mariscal, RoxArt Scotland mariscal, D-Mish, drano019 Wales RoxArt Ireland Fauxlosophe, D-Mish Norway RoxArt, D-Mish, drano019
well, now that I used a coin to pretty much decide the nations I'm going to say that the game has started (kinda) (oops) (should of thought through that one) and make an added time deadline of the 17th.
Gamestart is Fall 1257 Builds
England mariscal Scotland D-Mish Wales RoxArt Ireland Fauxlosophe Norway drano019
...if it is alright with everyone to have an extended deadline and start now, if not voice concerns please.
sorry 2 things: 1st I never said anything about wales but only norway! and maybe england but as my question is still not answered I do not play as is: - is it build anywhere? - the fleets coming in are blocked by units in that waters? that's idiotic because then if someone enters that waterspot those fleets can never arive? if I put him out, i'm there if not hes there so no real way to keep that spot free...
please clarify first... and I do not want to play wales ;)
was just a question, however I will not play wales, my clear preference was norway and there It was not even picked by random... england was my second thing but only depending on the building question however I would like to try norway, also after clarification of this fleet issue...
Not build anywhere, you can choose what units you want to build on your SCs not just anywhere Now that you point that out I'll revise the rules. Norway will just get 3 extra builds in 1263. I have a friend that can play for France but, I rather have another experienced player I'll redo the nation, sorry about that no deadline quite yet Again you should pass out your emails or just PM each other on vdip
England mariscal, RoxArt Scotland mariscal, D-Mish, drano019 Wales Fauxosophe Ireland Fauxlosophe, D-Mish Norway RoxArt(?), D-Mish, drano019 France Open
Ok, again please tell me what I FUBAR on so I can try to apply some duct tape. (Sorry, about this I'm not the most organized or patience person)
We should open a new forum tab for the game I will update and resolve the map for 5 Day Spring/Fall Movement Phases 3 Day Retreat/Winter Phases Unless all orders are mailed if so the game advances I'lll post the map and orders on google docs when its time
No, the game hasn't started yet, just to clear things up I'm going to add a bit of time for the first season Ok...I'm pretty sure I address everything (for now)
"I have a friend that can play for France but, I rather have another experienced player" Let me revise that, I had a friend that was going to play for France but, he's no longer going too, so France is open again.
ok once more: why dont you implement that map for vdip? it should not be a big thing as the map is ready or am I wrong? maybe someone will help? (I have no experience) however we have to ask oli if there is a possibility to add the 3 extra builds...
for my preferences: I made up my mind... :) 1st preference: France 2nd preference: England
or was it three times? Can't quite remember I do remember crashing it somehow. Anyways, I would rather think it would be good to test out a map since the dip club I was in collapsed (punching, cheating on girlfriend, 5 power attack on Germany, etc)
I wouldn't give too many details but, one of my maps I designed is in development, and ther is someone interested in helping me if I tried again to code in maps
I followed the link on the help page but just got an email saying "we're mods for Web Diplomacy, not VDiplomacy, sorry". So how do I report a suspected multiaccounter?
hey guys, im going to be on a trip starting tomorrow and will be back around the 13 or 14 and I need a sitter in 2 games, WWIV:http://vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=648 WW 2 Team Game:http://vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=2119 PM me for details and password information, in the Team game just go with what the allies want and in the WWIV game you would only have to maybe enter orders for one turn
I will be gone on vacation starting Thursday, 6/9 for 10 days. I won't have access to the Internet so I need a sub. I have three games, 2 are 1 move per day and the other is 1 move every 36 hours. PM me if you are interested. I also have one game on webdiplomacy.net. Thanks in advance.
As everyone knows, team games are rather popular, however something I have yet to see is a team gunboat, were your not allowed to stab people, but your not allowed to talk to them either. Lets make it more epic with a team chaos gunboat. Thoughts? [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/dsXvt.gif[/IMG]
One action card is dealt to players at the start. They may use it at the beginning of any turn, and they will pm the Game Master who will coordinate the gameplay to conform to the rules set out on the cards.
I've started my first game of webDiplomacy, and in the chat window, all the text is in black, where usually the text is coloured in relation to the country. Is there a settings tweak that I need to make?
I'm trying to start a game with a 20 point buy in, and I'm sure I'm entering it properly, but when I go to the game page, it says the buy in is 1. I've nuked and recreated 3 times now and it's the same every time. I guess I don't really mind playing for one point, but I think I might have trouble attracting an opponent for one point...
I've never heard or seen an African variant. But there seems to be one for every other land area (Americas north, central, south, Asia, Australia, and of course the original Europe). Is this because the geography isn't so interesting (having a simple coastline, tho you could have impassable areas like the Sahara Desert), or just no one cares? :\
