Best Country to play in WWIV
What do people think?

Hmm... It is very important to take as much as possible neutral supply centers at the beginning of the game to make a good start. The game is well designed, so that it is hard to say which country could get the most.
For now, I would not know for sure.
Well I see Western Canada always getting 3 at the start with more that can be taken close by.

I've always had fun as one of the landlocked Asian powers.......Russia, CA, Sichuan.

But of course any game with Texas as a choice is a no brainer.

I've always thought that India starts in the strongest position, but in game play it seems to get ganged up on early quite often. Probably as a result.

I have only played as Amazon and Colombia, and out of the 2 of them, Amazon is SOO much better. but gopher is dead on, Texas= the best

I've seen South Africa get knocked out early in almost every game I've played.
Except the one where Im playing as it and have 19 SCs
Or played its not ongoing.

I took over a CD'ed South Africa and ended up still alive at the end with 10ish SC's, but I never had a chance to get into the game much. I don't think it's an innately flawed country.

I like Quebec.

The only other time I played it, I played Western Canada and got kind of ganged up on, but I think it's also a playable hand.

I rather enjoy playing as more landlocked countries... especially in the middle of the map... on the edge of the map, you might forget which region connect to which on the other side of the map... plus it's REALLY easy to get into a deadlock with the opponent if it's at sea... then it's just up to who has more reliable allies/neighbors...

In the three I have played I have been Russia Amazon and Columbia My favorite so far has been Colombia :)
gopher27 (1606 D Mod)
07 Jan 12 UTC
Butterhead was Colombia in like the three first games of the variant and was understandably irritated by the lack of randomness or new experience. I think that was the root of his dissatisfaction.
BenGuin (1529 D)
07 Jan 12 UTC
taking a look at the stats,
Russia-1
Iran-2
Colombia-3
I haven't played as Iran or Colombia, but I know that I really enjoyed my Russian experience... mainly because I won :P
I think everyone hates Egypt and I think I know why... every game so far... Egypt has died... performance-0
butterhead (1272 D)
07 Jan 12 UTC
actually gopher, I have only been Colombia once... I was Amazon-Colombia-Amazon, and then I was Western Canada in the team game that got cancelled(therefore I don't count it)
butterhead (1272 D)
07 Jan 12 UTC
but I don't like the map because 3 out of 4 times I was stuck in South America, and the one time I wasn't got cancelled...
kaner406 (2061 D Mod (B))
07 Jan 12 UTC
well, the best country to play is definitely not Egypt.
gopher27 (1606 D Mod)
07 Jan 12 UTC
I guess it was kaner who kept drawing Colombia.
kaner406 (2061 D Mod (B))
07 Jan 12 UTC
I think I pulled Columbia twice now. the first time I was smashed by an aggressive Amazon, and the second time I took control of South America but lacked any Naval power to expand.

Now I always try to keep builds in reserve specifically to build fleets for Ron, espc. in this variant.
gopher27 (1606 D Mod)
07 Jan 12 UTC
Then who was Colombia in three of my first four games?
butterhead (1272 D)
07 Jan 12 UTC
nobody was. lol. looked through all of the finished games for WW4, I don't think anybody has been Colombia more than twice...
butterhead (1272 D)
07 Jan 12 UTC
actually, I think of all the FINISHED games, nobody has been Colombia more than once actually...
kaner406 (2061 D Mod (B))

I beg to differ Butter:

http://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=2385

I have indeed been Columbia twice.
butterhead (1272 D)
07 Jan 12 UTC
ok, then I was right the first time, when I said more than twice...
I must have missed the second game on the list ;)

Viking Dip.
Slavic Nations and Burgundy seem to be going rather well... But so does Norge (which surprises me) and EasternRomanEmpire. I suppose new tactics will arise as games come to a close.

Gunboat where we are supposed to discuss it in the forum.
If Oli will allow us I will make a gunboat game with the intent of it being discussed in the forum adding a whole new depth to the game. Lies about whos whom. and pretending to be others, etc. would be allowed and encouraged. Sounds fun. What does everyone think? And will Oli allow it?
