Greetings! This game shall henceforth be known as dc185, Clash of the Titans!
Please include either dc185, or COT in any mails to me about the game. Also include your country and season.
475 BC. Classical Greece, when Democracies were formed, and the Parthenon was built… For a concise summary of recent events leading up to the powers that are on this map, see:

A brief note on prelims – I push these every game! It is the best habit you can get into, send prelims once you get your results, so you don’t have to worry about sending them in last minute. You can always revise your orders later in the week as often as you like. I will confirm orders usually very quickly, but at the latest within a day! If you do not get a confirmation from me, then please find a way to make sure I have your orders! The responsibility lies with the player to make sure you have a “received” from me!
Timing – We’ll go at the leisurely pace of a week for major turns, and 2 days for minor turns. Always 10am Pacific, which is 1pm Eastern, 5pm GMT, 6pm UK, 7pm CET. Deadlines will generally be on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Map – you can all download the Realpolitik files from the variants page of the website if you like to use RP. I’ll include a map and dpy file with adjudications. Attached is a names map, showing some valid abbreviations you can use, tho in general I will send out maps without the names since it’s pretty ugly with them turned on.

First deadline: A bit longer than normal, since turn 1 diploming can be intense...
Wednesday May 21, 10am Pacific! This should give us a bit of time for some intros and general lollygagging. But do send in prelims! Send me at least a prelim set by this Friday so we’re ready to rock and roll next week.
********************************************
And finally – The countries!!
Leader of Athens, right in the center of the map and in red: Max!
Out on the tip of the Peloponnesus and wearing black, our Spartan Mark!
Across the Corinthian, in the light cyan, we have the Boeotians led by Paul!
Just up the coast, we have the Thessalians led by Alan in yellow!
Near mainland Europe in blue, we have the Macedonians – and their capable leader Jorge!
Coming out of Asia Minor, we have Michael driving the mean green Persian machine!
And on the coast with their 3 shiny white fleets we have the Ionians – and Garry!
