spring 1901 addendum - coryfucius   (Jan 11, 2010, 5:14 pm)
There is also broadcast press to pass along to everyone. Get your Morse Code books out, I don't think we're using radio in 1901.


Press from England:

The queen sent her fleets out to sea

their mission purported to be:

"snatch a few dots, we'll be needing lots -

then come home for crumpets and tea!"

As you can see (if I remember the attachments), I will attach .gif images of the movement/retreat/adjustment and of the current map. I will also attach the RealPolitik file (.dpy). All of these will also be available on the DC website at:

DiplomaticCorp has a facebook page. You can join it via Facebook or connect to it from the DC homepage. Regardless, I wonder if Jean-Luc read my latest post from New Year's Eve:

"I've discovered (at least in no-press) that the Balkan Gambit / presumed AI alliance is so prevalent these days that Italy can often make very good gains by moving to Trieste in S1901. I think it's time to swing the pendulum back toward early Austrian exits."

Oh, pendulum! Swing, pendulum, swing!

Of course, Jean-Luc and David may be executing a Key Lepanto variant, in which case, I've just tossed a giant red herring into the frying pan. GMs really shouldn't comment on the game, don't you agree? Because we think we know everything when we really only know the map.

That being the case, I won't comment upon the delicate Western balance which includes a Channel Opening by the English, an apparent DMZ in Burgundy, and an immediate French move to Spain. And don't even ask me about that Russian army in Galicia...

Haven map change - FuzzyLogic   (Jan 11, 2010, 1:28 pm)
www.dipwiki.com?title=Haven

You've all played my Haven map... I've been considering some changes for the 3rd playtest, and was looking for input on the concept...

1) Making Spiral Castle adjacent to Ivory Tower (the two circular tower spaces linked)... and possibly, making one or both of these also adjacent to Two Towers (by the Hobbits). i.e. atop all the wizards towers are magical portals that can link you to the other towers. (this was suggested by a player)

2) Making Zhentil Keep adjacent to Dargaard Keep, presumably by a hatch in the floor / secret passage. Right now, Dargaard Keep starts right in the center of 5 powers, none of which can reach it with a land unit in 01, but three of which can reach it with a fleet, creating a dead zone / negotiation point. If you could move from that space (armies only) directly to Zhentil Keep, would that be too strong? Does that give the northwestern powers too much influence of the central island?

3) A link from Devils Canyon to Ice Reach.

These are designed to facilitate units moving around the map. Would it be better? Not needed?

Keep in mind the game was designed to be a world-style variant in that it supports 19 players, but avoid the typical large-variant-syndrome of the game bogging down midway into massive armies that are all stuck in their own worlds with relatively little interaction.

Ideas welcome,
-mike

Haven map change (Variants) Krazick Dec 31, 07:34 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.

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.

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"Wink

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.
Haven map change (Variants) orathaic Jan 15, 09:50 pm
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....

We have arrived at the opening salvo of the Winter Blitz. Happy are they
who put their trust in God. Wise are they who do not put too much trust
in anybody else.

So, S1901 is accomplished. That brings us to S1901 retreats, which are
due tomorrow. Eric, I'll need an order for your army in Liverpool Smile
Everybody else can start submitting prelims for the F1901 movement, due on
Thursday at 1000 CST.

As you can see (if I remember the attachments), I will attach .gif images
of the movement/retreat/adjustment and of the current map. I will also
attach the RealPolitik file (.dpy). All of these will also be available
on the DC website at:

www.diplomaticcorp.com/?game_id=dc293

DiplomaticCorp has a facebook page. You can join it via Facebook or
connect to it from the DC homepage. Regardless, I wonder if Jean-Luc read
my latest post from New Year's Eve:

"I've discovered (at least in no-press) that the Balkan Gambit / presumed
AI alliance is so prevalent these days that Italy can often make very good
gains by moving to Trieste in S1901. I think it's time to swing the
pendulum back toward early Austrian exits."

Oh, pendulum! Swing, pendulum, swing!

Of course, Jean-Luc and David may be executing a Key Lepanto variant, in
which case, I've just tossed a giant red herring into the frying pan. GMs
really shouldn't comment on the game, don't you agree? Because we think
we know everything when we really only know the map.

That being the case, I won't comment upon the delicate Western balance
which includes a Channel Opening by the English, an apparent DMZ in
Burgundy, and an immediate French move to Spain. And don't even ask me
about that Russian army in Galicia...

Well, enough of my piecemeal references. Read the adjudication for
yourselves:

"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing. The shadow, even the darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you - That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding onto something."

We have now a lesson in email filters and the *importance of including "DC 293" in your subject line*. I have just stumbled upon updated Russian orders which leave Galicia vacant. Those sighs of relief you hear surely are emanating from Austria. The rest is the okay. You will find the newest .dpy attached (but I am not updating the S1901 .gif file).

Oh, I'm a big fan of the 'move' map. Please do include it, even if just to me.

Best,
Jeremiah

[quote:29f40154cb]We have arrived at the opening salvo of the Winter Blitz. Happy are they who put their trust in God. Wise are they who do not put too much trust in anybody else.

So, S1901 is accomplished. That brings us to S1901 retreats, which are due tomorrow. Eric, I'll need an order for your army in Liverpool Smile Everybody else can start submitting prelims for the F1901 movement, due on Thursday at 1000 CST.

As you can see (if I remember the attachments), I will attach .gif images of the movement/retreat/adjustment and of the current map. I will also attach the RealPolitik file (.dpy). All of these will also be available on the DC website at:

www.diplomaticcorp.com/?game_id=dc293

DiplomaticCorp has a facebook page. You can join it via Facebook or connect to it from the DC homepage. Regardless, I wonder if Jean-Luc read my latest post from New Year's Eve:

"I've discovered (at least in no-press) that the Balkan Gambit / presumed AI alliance is so prevalent these days that Italy can often make very good gains by moving to Trieste in S1901. I think it's time to swing the pendulum back toward early Austrian exits."

Oh, pendulum! Swing, pendulum, swing!

Of course, Jean-Luc and David may be executing a Key Lepanto variant, in which case, I've just tossed a giant red herring into the frying pan. GMs really shouldn't comment on the game, don't you agree? Because we think we know everything when we really only know the map.

That being the case, I won't comment upon the delicate Western balance which includes a Channel Opening by the English, an apparent DMZ in Burgundy, and an immediate French move to Spain. And don't even ask me about that Russian army in Galicia...

Well, enough of my piecemeal references. Read the adjudication for yourselves:

A Vienna - Budapest

F Edinburgh - North Sea
A Liverpool - Yorkshire

France:

DC 298 Short Delay - untitled36   (Jan 11, 2010, 7:18 am)
Hey all,

There will be a short delay on the adjucation. I did not receive moves from one player, but I checked with the people who run the orders-at-diplomaticcorp.com ([email]orders-at-diplomaticcorp.com[/email]) and they thought they had some for him. So they are checking and will get back with me shortly. That's why it pays to CC to the orders box!

Adjucation will be out soon!

John

Hey,

I've messaged you all individually with my thoughts on the game and plans, so there's that. This is just a group message to say Hey, I live in the Pacific Time Zone (GMT -Cool, and I go to bed between 12 and 1, and get up some time in the morning, so keep that in mind if you're messaging me close to the deadline. I'm a student with a bunch of free time, so I can also reply pretty promptly should you need it.

Cheers,

Hello from Germany.
 
As usual, something always happens at the beginning of the game.  I’m on the road 100% of the time, but normally have access at night.  (Think Up in the Air)
 
Of course, this week my wireless card decided to stop working, so I am getting a new laptop today.  I should have it up and running over the weekend, and I shouldn’t have any problems for the rest of the week-end.
 
This is just a note to let you know why I haven’t responded to the press received as of today.
 
Also, I would like to make a suggestion.  If everyone would put dc298 in your subject line, we can create a rule to put our press in the proper place.
 
Hope to talk to each shortly.

Hi Everyone,

We have seven confirmed players, so it's time to begin. We are now game DC289.


The country list is thus:
DucatiRider Germany ecommander0 Italy JeffreyK England jmc66 France Marlowe Austria tanvirabs Turkey trooper Russia

The deadline for Spring 1901 will be two weeks from today on Wednesday, January 20, 2010, at 05:00GMT. I will thereafter attempt to keep intervals between major seasons at just one week.


We'll be using the DC default house rules, with just a couple of modifications:
1. I'll send a confirmation whenever I receiver your orders. I'll try to check that they're valid, but I make no promises. Please remember that you're welcome to send multiple sets of orders in a given season (labeled numerically so that I know which to use), so it never hurts to send preliminary orders early.
2. Each of you will be allowed one 24-hour grace period for a missed deadline. Any further missed deadlines will be treated as NMRs.
3. I reserve the right to immediately replace any player registering an NMR in the year 1901.
4. I will attempt to find replacements for any abandoned countries.
5. I'll attach a game map and realpolitik file with each adjudication.
5. Because this is the first online game for many of you, I reserve the right to be just a little soft when enforcing rules 2 & 3.


Please let me know if you have any questions.


Happy stabbing!


Matthew

Heya blitzers,

Here’s a friendly reminder that moves are due in the morning (some later in the day) Monday! This is spring 01, and any retreats will be due the next day, Tuesday. There are tons of orders in the orders box, but I believe a set or two is still yet to come in.

Don’t be late, the games will not hold for late orders…
