Perhaps some such discussions will shift from the Diplomacy Variants Workshop over here someday. Redscape used to have a very active variants forum, but for some reason it no longer exists. A shame. Lots of interesting discussion in there, back then.

Then see Ancient World. It's AM w just like you describe. Great variant. Want to run one?

***Ancient World does look fun. Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat as Charles. My game load is at 5, which is 3 more than I like to keep it at. Not sure what I was thinking.***

Open question to anyone that feels like answering:

What are your top 3 favorite Diplomacy variants?

Variant Designers: No voting for your own variants!

Mine would be:

1 - Aberration (just love the concept, and it's rather balanced)
2 - Ancient Mediterranean (Don Hessong made a masterpiece, and refined it to perfection)
3 - Known World (up and coming...still needs some refining I think, but potential to be truly great)

Honorable mention goes to 1648 - might make the top 3 once I have a chance to play it.

Always interesting to hear people's responses to this, and useful for designing future variants (knowing what appealed and what didn't in other variants)
