05 Aug 15 UTC | Spring, 1901: Hello everyone, and good luck :) |
05 Aug 15 UTC | Spring, 1901: I've never played this variant before, but I assume it's supposed to be even. How can it when Myself, Germany and Russia can't reach any of the islands without conflict? |
05 Aug 15 UTC | Spring, 1901: My guess is that these islands distract the island-able nations and thus allow greater expansion opportunities for you guys as well. Although the stats show this is much more unbalanced than classic |
05 Aug 15 UTC | Spring, 1901: @Russia: Naturally no Sevastopol fleet? |
05 Aug 15 UTC | Spring, 1901: I'm new to this variant too. Allowing us to choose builds is nice, and I think Turkey's right about the islands acting as a distraction of sorts. For example, I can take Norway without competing against England for it (I hope!), because he has Ireland and Iceland to go for instead. |
05 Aug 15 UTC | Spring, 1901: Alright then, Turkey, no fleet as long as Black Sea is a DMZ. |
05 Aug 15 UTC | Spring, 1901: Well builds are an easy choice for England. |
05 Aug 15 UTC | Spring, 1901: @England, as usual, DMZ English Channel? |
05 Aug 15 UTC | Spring, 1901: @Italy Shall we settle the islands now so that we can be friends? |
05 Aug 15 UTC | Spring, 1901: @Russia: Are you intending to go for all of Scandinavia, or could I take Sweden? @Austria: How does an alliance sound? Or at least neutrality with DMZ in Tyrolia, Bohemia, Galicia? |
05 Aug 15 UTC | Spring, 1901: @France: Agreed. |
05 Aug 15 UTC | Spring, 1901: @France, yes - Cor, Spa and Port to you, Sar, Sic and Tun to me? that is 3 and 3 fair |
05 Aug 15 UTC | Spring, 1901: @Aus - no moves Tri-Ven? |
05 Aug 15 UTC | Spring, 1901: @Italy That sounds perfect. @Germany Do you intend to take Belgium? |
05 Aug 15 UTC | Spring, 1901: @Germany: I would like to take all of Scandinavia, ideally. But I'm open to negotiations. I will also respect a DMZ in Galicia with you and Austria. @Austria,Turkey: I propose we take one each of Rumania, Serbia and Bulgaria, in the obvious way. |
05 Aug 15 UTC | Spring, 1901: @Italy: does that mean a bounce, or no moves for Trieste/Venice. I'm happy with either @Russia: Sounds good. I'll take Bulgaria, you Serbia, and Turkey Rumania? ;) haha. The traditional ones sound good @Turkey: I would like to ask for entry into Greece if at all possible. Naturally Cre, Cyp and Bulgaria shall be yours. @Germany: Allies sounds good. I've never found a game with Austria and Germany fighting worth anything to either side @France and England: Sup |
05 Aug 15 UTC | Spring, 1901: @Austria Oh you know, the usual. Drawing borders, settling territory, avoiding conflict... |
05 Aug 15 UTC | Spring, 1901: @Aus, no bounce, just no moves |
05 Aug 15 UTC | Spring, 1901: @France: Since you'll get Portugal, Spain and Corsica, yes, I'd like Belgium. @Russia: I'll leave Sweden for you, but I'd like Denmark. Is that OK? |
05 Aug 15 UTC | Spring, 1901: @Austria: The usual it is. And Greece is yours as usual. @Italy: Sup |
