Calling the Light Brigade - Zoterik   (Oct 16, 2014, 1:22 pm)
Gentlemen! The battle for the Aegean Sea (DC495) is in full swing, and a new Ionian player is required. The previous leader of this great seafaring people has abdicated, and the position is available. Forge your place in history!

DC515 (Gunboat) requires a new Austria. As it follows the 1900 variant, Austria is in a stronger position than in standard. We're still in Fall of the first year, so the situation is still positive on all fronts.

As this is a Gunboat game, best to e-mail me directly rather than reply to this post.

DC507 - Autumn 1871 - Operations   (Oct 12, 2014, 4:24 pm)
Retreats are in! I am going to take this time to also address my initial welcome email giving my expectations for orders..  1.  Orders need to have game number, season, year, country.  2.  Orders need to be sent in a separate email, not just replying to one of my emails. This is the fair warning, there will be no more leeway on this, for anyone. Orders that don't follow these rules will be null and void. Period. And I won't remind you they were sent incorrectly, they will just be ignored, if they're not missed in the first place. With that said, here we go: Japan
F Kyoto - Upper Pacific Turkey
F Persia - Persian Gulf
 Deadline for Winter is October 14th

Sorry for the delay, been a very crazy week...  There are two retreats this turn: Japanese F Kyoto can retreat to Tokyo or Upper Pacific.
Turkish F Persia can retreat to Persian Gulf or OTB  Deadline for retreats is 10/12, then I'll do Winter immediately after. Given the delay in the adjudication, if Japan and Turkey let me know their choices are firm, we can do Winter before the 12th.

New Variant: Warring States (ancient China) - zurn   (Oct 10, 2014, 1:25 pm)
Thanks, I traced the contour lines over a much lower quality contour map; it actually doesn't take too long. Smile Makes for a much nicer looking physical map, akin to the original Diplomacy board: http://imgur.com/a/U9X9q (Pretty easy and cheap to make, nice for pushing armies around.)

I thought about a "barbarian" power in the north. Although I'm far from an expert, it sounded to me like the barbarian powers were much less powerful, and I thought it was nice to keep it to the main warring states. The Huns are there in spirit: Xiongnu is the Chinese term for them.

Wei is definitely in an interesting spot. They do have the "shortest" path to victory though (2.13 spaces to 18 centres from all home centres), and access to the two main clusters of centres, plus a possible supported move into Ye on the first turn. The wall in Daliang should discourage a casual opportunistic attack from Han and so enhance trust. I gave Han a wall in Luoyang to enhance its defense as well, and the wall in Anyi to help it out as well, plus access to the same two clusters of centres. I'm hoping an extra unit isn't necessary, but it's a possibility.

There are some centres outside the two main clusters, true. I think of Jiuyuan and Shang as Spain and Portugal. Smile Ba and Danyang are like Tunis. Smile Although Ba is on a river that leads into Chu. The extra space around Chu makes it a safe but slower start, and gives the more pressed countries a head start on more centres.

Obviously a lot of the balance decisions require playtesting; I'll certainly let you know if I ever get a game going.

Some more "distances to 18":

Qin 3.22
Chu 3.00
Zhou 2.71
Wei 2.13
Han 3.00
Yan 3.57
Qi 2.63

Centres within 3 that are enemy home centres, and % of all centres within 3:

Qin 5 31%
Chu 8 44%
Zhou 8 40%
Wei 11 44%
Han 7 39%
Yan 6 43%
Qi 10 48%

As the creator of the Mandate of Heaven variant much earlier in my variant design career (it has its problems--LOL), I am always interested when someone tackles this area and period. It makes me want to revisit my work and improve it! I will take a more detailed look at this and hopefully get back to you with comments.

Thanks! I did of course read your variant. The barbarian raider mechanic is interesting; I once toyed with a variant set much later on in China, with the Mongols as the odd one out.

FYI for anyone who's interested, there's a game set up for this now: http://www.diplomaticcorp.com/game_page.php?game_id=re003

Samy,

that's a pretty map. Where did you get the bottom layer from?

I really like the sound of the fleet and walls rules.

Have you thought of adding a Barbarian power to the North? Seems to me like a good idea.

I'm concerned central powers such as Wei face too great struggles. Perhaps you can give those say one more unit...?

Neutral SCs should IMO generally be grouped in clusters. To create fertile battlegrounds.

In any case, please sign me on as an observer should you get a playtest underway.

Oceania DC508\FALL/2004 Press! Fall Moves Due! - hapolley   (Oct 09, 2014, 11:45 pm)
================================================================= Oceania DC508\FALL/2004 Press! Fall Moves Due! =================================================================GM REMINDER: If you send in no anticipated retreat then the computer makes one for you. It checks for your Home build SC, Then your regular SC, Then other Home SC, then other regular SC, then best area by most adjacent numbers, then by first it comes to in move check list.==================================================================      Cool Japan to Malaysia- May I have your support for Mau-Mid this Fall move?  ==================================================================    7) Why did Indonesia build 2 ships?  He certainly doesn't need them to fight Japan.        6) Marshall Islands - anonymous zero pointer: As one in the center I know about draws including all survivors. They usually exclude the small center powers. So either I grow or I make sure others go down with me.        5) Marshall Islands - Japan: I've supported Mau to Mid        4) Marshall Islands - USA: Your choice        3)Marshall Islands - Australia: It would be nice if you went around the Islands, not through it.        2) All of you do realize that survival gets one zero points just as if you
were eliminated?  Which is why we need to stop the leaders and force a draw!    1) New Zealand to Australia:  The messages I'm hearing suggest there is a chance.  My fate is obviously in your hands, but if you divert your fleets a bit north and allow me to defend against France, I will support and help you wherever I can. First I have to find a way to kick France out of my neighborhood.
