| dc354 - New Year - FuzzyLogic (Dec 31, 2010, 10:18 pm) |
Hey all,
Your Civs have their New Years resolutions ready to go? “I will not club other races on the head”… “I will refrain from fluttering about in creatures ears”… “I will always turn in prelims”…
That last one is my recommendation. It’s never too early to turn in prelims!
“What’s a prelim?” You may ask…
Well… a pre-lim is not what comes before a post-lim. Rather, it’s the orders you turn in, before you know what you really want to order, just to have something turned in! It’s your first instinct on what to order… so that later, when you get called away on last minute business, or you stub your toe and have to go to the hospital, or your dog eats your computer… or aliens land in your back yard, abduct your cat, and you run off on a whirlwind quest to galaxies far far away to rescue him from the evil Vogons… then before you know it, the deadline passes and your units all hold – but NO… you turned in prelims! You’re covered. Woohoo! Two thumbs WAY up! So you can heal your toe, extract your computer, rescue your cat, and save the galaxy, knowing all the time you’ve got a backup turned in.
Yeah.
Anyways.
You get the idea.
About half of you have turned in at least something. Everyone should!
Enjoy!
And may all your races prosper in the new year…

Ok folks here we go!
The only race not requested by anyone... was... The Magicians. Who go to one of the lucky "give me what's left" players. 
Of which, there were only two!
The other unpopular ones were the Barbarians and Undead, which only made one list each.
The most requested? Well the Dwarves are no surprise, but we had a tie... with the Leprechauns! I found that interesting. Those two made 8 lists, including being the first choice on 4. The Ogres and Dwarves were tied for the most popular 1st pick, being the first pick for 3 people each.
All the rest not noted above made 4, 5, or 6 lists, so pretty balanced for the rest of them.
Now on to our lineup! It wasn't easy, but everyone got one of their top 3 picks. 9 got their top 1. 3 got their 2nd. 5 got their 3rd. 2 had no pref.

Hey all,
Let’s not forget what we’re doin here… the Draw Props are all great and I’ll try to make heads & tails of them with the winter results, which will be taken as proposals for spring…
One turn… draw is proposed.
Next turn… draw is voted on. If any draw passes, game is over. If all draws fail, moves are processed as submitted.
So be sure to get me those builds! I’ll set a firm deadline of Tuesday 3pm.
Enjoy!

This special holiday edition of your Ancient World brings plenty of strife, lots of failed orders, and dislodgements all across the board. Hope you’re all enjoying the holiday cheer…
2 retreats!
Carthaginian F Treva can retreat to Mare Suevieum or O.Germanicus or Scandia.
Roman A Genua can retreat to Helvetii.
I just nudged them to Scandia and Helvetii, to make the builds easier. If Carthage prefers the Mare Suev or O.Ger, he’s welcome to amend w the winter turn by the winter deadline.
Seems like Germania and Rome are on Santa’s naughty list, and not only get coal for Christmas, but they owe up some units. Persia is on the good list w a unit to build, and Macedonia, well, we don’t know what he’s up to w jolly ole’ Santa to get the big +2. But good job nonetheless!
Germania: Remove 1
Macedonia: Build 2
Persia: Build 1
Rome: Remove 1
Carthage: Could pull the retreat and be +1 instead.
Want to squeak in builds this holiday? How about by Monday / 27th, or I’ll send out whenever I get a set of 4. But being the holidays, I won’t NMR anyone if you’re late for this one.
Enjoy, and Have a great Christmas,

All,
Sorry for the delay to today. I thought I was going to get to this later last night and I had some stuff come up. Sigh. Oh well. We are back now with quite an exciting turn. Lots of interesting movement and lots of twists but little change in the end. We only have one retreat:
Ukraine F Geo can only retreat to Cir or OTB. I retreated it automatically to Cir. John can go OTB and rebuild if desired.
With that auto-retreat, we are straight to Winter. Given the delay by your GM, let's set Winter further back than I originally anticipated. Let's go with a Winter turn of the 30th at 6pm CST and have Spring 1906 be Jan 6th at 6pm CST.
Winter adjustments are as follows:
Burgundy Build 1
Israel Build 1
Poland Remove 2
Ukraine Build 1 IF AND ONLY IF F from Geo retreats OTB
Byzantium Build 1
Merry Christmas from the March.

| Haven map change - Krazick (Dec 31, 2010, 7:34 am) |
Mike,
Prowling around the forum, and I found your note from January 2010 (almost a year back) about possible changes to the Haven Map. And you make a point that Dargaard Keep is in the middle of 5 powers, but that none of which can reach it with a land unit in 01 --
This is not quite true. I see two ways to get an Army there in Fall 01:
1. Rogue Fleet Ashan -> Pool of Radiance, Turn 2 Fleet Pool Radiance convoy Convoy Rogue Army to Dargaard Keep (from Moominvally/The Silver City/Ashan - take your pick).
2. Magi Fleet Ergoth -> ESS, Turn 2 Fleet ESS Convoy Undead Army to Dargaard Keep from either Evergoth or Ishtar.
The second is less likely, since it requires cooperation between players.
Having only studied the games that have been played so far, and starting up in DC354, I can't say I am much of an authority on these suggestions. But I would feel a link for Devils Canyon to Ice Reach provides a back door into both the north and south -- Requires at least one unit to sit and defend... I would say something like:
Break Devils Canyon into to regions (East/West), and place two connections (one from Ice Reach, other from Cathal to each.
This would require more coordinated assaults and defense... and less "Edges" to have at anyone's back.
Krazick[Reply] |
| Haven map change (Variants) laxrulz777 Jan 06, 03:22 pm |
I'm playing in the newest Haven game (go Barbarians!). The Icereach to Devil's Canyon link strikes me as a really basic stalemate line. One unit holds it easily. It ends up having a weird dynamic where the Knights are trying to ally with whoever DOESN'T hold Devil's Canyon and whoever holds Devil's Canyon is trying to ally with the Barbarians/Centaurs. So it kind of encourages a 2v2 type arrangement... Not necessarily a good or bad thing but something to think about.
If you REALLY wanted to encourage that interaction, you could make Icereach and Devil's Canyon the same zone (taking it from simple stalemate line to nearly undefendable.
The other ideas are interesting, but if you do that, it's probably time to clean up the map a little. It's already a bit confusing and adding some sort of north south wrapping along with location specific links might make some peoples heads pop. I think it would be a bit more interesting if the location links were NOT SCs... creating a strategic item to fight over that isn't an SC would be an interesting dynamic.
Also, mages can double convoy (SAB->WSS->ESS-KEE). Also unlikely but technically possible (and probably slightly more likely then the mage and undead player collaborating in Y1. |

| Haven map change (Variants) laxrulz777 Jan 07, 10:41 am |
What I see as the two changes needed (note, this is slightly from a Barbarian point of view but I think I'm being appropriately "neutral"
I would make two slight tweaks to the map
1) The Barbarians biggest problem is that they are essentially FORCED to telegraph their moves. Every move out of their starting centers is unambiguous and it greatly reduces their ability to engage in diplomacy. While this may be flavorful, it is greatly exaggerated and not really in keeping with the spirit of the game. To this end, I would "massage" Eridu somewhat (possibly removing it altogether). Pendarin woods or Andarien Plains should be made to touch Gwynir (possibly both?). That gives the Barbarians some room for options and negotiations.
2) I think natural relations between the Fairies and their neighbors are too friendly. The Fairies have a very, very good chance of getting three builds (it would really take a concerted Knight/Rogue effort to keep them even to 1 build... and that's only doable if the Rogue sacrifices any hope of two builds by being willing to bounce in Gurgi and Dimmsdale). I considered the possibility of making Grimheim touch Gurgi. But this seems too god. A better choice might just be to make Daisy Meadows an SC. Something to create some friction between the two would be nice. Currently, only Dimmsdale does this but it's removed from both Fairy and Rogue home SCs so it's of limited use in that regard. The other possibility is to stretch WMO to touch Dimmsdale and switch Julianthes and Dimmsdale making Dimmsdale an Eternal Build Center. This would draw both the Dwarves and the Nomads in (This has the added benefit of making churning Rock not adjacent to two eternal build centers. This might make the Fairies TOO weak, however. |

I saw a request to inform Michael sims if Haven had spread beyond dip corp, so i might present: http://www.vdiplomacy.com/variants.php?variantID=51
I'm pretty sure there's a bit of a division between web-client diplomacy players an older pbem crowd, but here is an implementation.
As it stands i don't think it has any special rules, just the basic (3d) geography, and eternal builds.... |

Retreats possible are pasted below this paragraph. I'm going to give until Monday January 3, 2011, 17:00 MST for discussions to take place before I adjudicate that summer turn, so you've all got a few days to chat.

Hi Players,
Hope you're enjoying this last week of 2010. I know it hasn't been the best week for everyone, but here's wishing all of you a healthy and happy new year in 2011.
As you'll recall, we had three end-of-game proposals on the table:
1. France/Germany/Austria
2. France/Germany/Austria/Italy
3. Austria/Italy
None of the proposals passed, though ALL of them had a majority in favor. I'm not going to break it down further than that, except to say that every player did submit votes. There were no abstentions. You may submit new proposals (or resubmit a previous one) at any time. Now on to the results for Fall 1917.
Headline: "Austria-Hungary Rolls over Russia
as Kaiser's Scandinavian Buns are Buttered by Fleeing White Army"
In other words:
. Austria captures both Moscow and St. Pete, as the Tsar chooses to abandon the last defense of his homeland. A difficult choice, I'm sure, but St. Pete would have fallen next year anyway if he had chosen to defend it this year at the cost of one of his remaining armies.
. Germany pays the price for not making amends for earlier transgressions on the Eastern front. It looks like he was counting on goodwill that simply does not exist. Now he must decide whether to shift forces away from England in order to recapture Scandinavia. And what about his armies in the East and in Piedmont? Somewhere, somehow, two German units need to be disbanded. Which will go and which will stay?
. Fortunately for Germany's friend, France, the (soon-to-be-gone?) army in Piedmont did prove to be the key in his recapture of
Marseilles. Sunbathers up and down the coast look up from their novels and order another glass of Beaujolais.
. Observers on both sides of the Atlantic (and on the moon, too, for that matter) are wondering why Italy chose to use his fleet in Western Med to signal the Germans in Norwegian Sea, rather than cut the French support from Spain. Crazy, or genius? It seems that in losing Marseilles the wily Italians have gained Burgundy. Now THERE is a nightmare for France and Germany.
. And we can't leave without remarking that the plucky British forces are still sitting pretty at home, having successfully blocked yet another attempt to take away Edinburgh. I think it is safe to say that no one is enjoying the current German and French predicaments more than they.
RETREATS:
. Italian army Marseilles has been auto-retreated to Burgundy. Let me know if you want to remove the unit instead,
Monseignor.
. Austrian army Silesia has been dislodged and may retreat to Prussia, Warsaw or OTB.
ADJUSTMENTS: Austria builds 2 new units. Germany must remove 2.
DEADLINES: Since only two players are involved in the Winter season, I'd like to do both retreats and adjustments together. This assumes, of course, that the Kaiser can make his choices without knowing the Austrian retreats. Let me know, Herr Kaiser.
Officially: The Austrian retreat is due ASAP, and Winter adjustments are due within 24 hours after I post the Austria retreat.
Cheers,
Chris

The adjudication will be delayed since I'll be away this evening. I expect to be able to do the adjudication sometime tomorrow, so I'm moving the due date by 12 hours.
Next turn: Winter 1909 Adjustments.
Next Deadline: Friday 31th of December 2010, 7:00 GMT (7AM).

These would ordinarily be due in two days, but that would make the deadline on New Years Eve... so instead the deadline will be 05:00GMT on Jan 2, 2010. Your Spring 1902 deadline will then be on Jan 7, 2010 at 05:00GMT.

Hi guys. All things considered I have decided that to not attempt to find a replacement for France at this stage wouldn't quite be just in all cases. Sorry Tim, but I'm going to query the light brigade and see if I can find a willing player.

| DC 347, Replacement needed - alwayshunted (Dec 29, 2010, 2:58 pm) |
Hi folks. Sorry I didn't get to this yesterday, and now I'm going to have to delay again as we have had our English player abandon us. It is too important a position right now to put him in CD, so I will seek a replacement and we'll try to run the fall turn again once we find one. It doesn't usually take very long, so hang in there.....
