Enlightenment & Succession variant.


In the game at http://vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=12197, France has managed to build in Eire, even though this is not listed as a 'build anywhere' variant. Confusing if not plain wrong. Help please; this spoils an otherwise good variant.

Blind Dip 0.2, DO NOT REPLY, pm interest instead
I'd be willing to GM a 'blind diplomacy' game similar to one that flopped due to CD about 6 months back.

PM me with your interest (to keep the game anonymous) and I will accept the first 7 players with RR > 90%. Rules forthcoming...

China, land of confused children......discuss
So a friend of mine is having a birthday on Tuesday. On Sunday, it will be Chinese New Year. What must life be like for Chinese kids with birthdays over the last few weeks? I must admit my suspicion of any calender that yields a number of birthdays per year via a random stochastic process.

WWII Variant (preview)***
Hi I'm working on a new variant for WWII, please let me know how the map is. Also I don't have any idea of php so please can you tell me how to 'run' diplomacy to test it out? Or can I just submit it to the mods?

Australia, land of pussies.....discuss
Australia has now implemented a national policy barring children in public schools from having candles as part of birthday celebrations because of the germ spreading associated with blowing out said candles. Beyond the fascistic nanny state aspect of a Federal Government taking an interest in such matters at all, can any right thinking person take seriously a country that would empower such authorities?

Game of Thrones themed map?
I know we're doing a Lord of the Rings variant(I'm in a game on the lab vdip site) but how about a Game of Thrones map? That'd be pretty slick, could even make it into two different variants, one with only Westeros which would be more like Classic variant and one with the lands beyond the narrow sea which would be more like modern dip 2 or even imperial dip 2

Which era most deserves a variant that doesn't yet have one here?
Self-explanatory title. Personally, I think a "Colonization of North America" map might be interesting, with colonial England, France, Spain, Portugal, along with Native American empires and powers, like the Aztecs, Incans, Narragansetts, Pequots, &c. So far as I know, there's nothing like that up yet. What else would you like to see? Maybe we'll get some good ideas.

I've always thought a city might make for a good battlefield. Or maybe a college campus, even. Zoom in very deeply, and individual buildings and roads are territories. If there aren't a lot of rivers and lakes, maybe split units into infantry and tanks. Tanks can't enter buildings, but infantry all has agoraphobia, so they stick to the buildings, and only cross the roads when a tank helps them across. Or something.
steephie22 (933 D)
20 Jan 13 UTC
Hmmm... The city thing sounds fun...
I'd say infantry could enter streets but they are very weak there, though...
Like tanks being 3, 5 times as strong, so infantry could be a tie-breaker but not much more when it's a battle with tanks...
The houses would be good SCs, and I guess some SCs in corners that are not houses so tanks can be built...

Sounds great to me!

You could actually have fleets and armies in a city - just take Amsterdam or Venice or similar cities.
steephie22 (933 D)
20 Jan 13 UTC
Uhm...
Tinker, how exactly do you think Amsterdam is?
It's just a city next to a sea, nothing like Venice...

Venice is a great idea for fleets and armies though...

However, infantry and tanks could be fun too...

Don't know :P
xSMTx (847 D)

Amsterdam may not be quite as boat-friendly as Venice, but it's not like it's Miami :p It has a very intricate system of canals that run through most of it.

I'd also like to say that I really, really like this micro diplomacy idea. Cities or buildings are a great idea! Props to Mertvaya

I heard a long time ago about a variant done for Oxford University that involved pedestrians and bikes...with the notion that bike lanes were too dangerous for pedestrians and thus needed bike help (a la convoying) to cross them. The SCs were houses within the various colleges. I'm sure if someone were to dig through the archives of the DipPouch they might find something about it there.
Tinker (1204 D)
20 Jan 13 UTC
Amsterdam isn't exactly next to sea anymore, but it has canals through the old (and interesting) centre that spiral outward, giving possibilities for fleeting.

I really like that Oxford idea, too.

I would love to see a version for the wars of the Roses... Not just Lancaster v York but the powerful noble houses fighting for supremacy, Nevilles, vs De Veres vs Plantaganet, Beaufort etc. This would be different in that the nobles had strengths in different parts. For instance, the De Mowbrays had strongholds in Norfolk, Yorkshire and North wales and the Nevilles in Yorkshire, South Wales and the midlands...

Well obviously I'm biased, but I think Cornell might make for a good minimap. http://mappery.com/maps/Cornell-University-Map.jpg Not very many roads, so things wouldn't get completely confusing for tanks, and lots of buildings for SCs. Plus the gorges would give you some good chokepoints between North Campus, Central Campus, and Collegetown.
georgekatkins (1107 D)

I think it would be great if somebody could map and program the very nice 10-player "Ambition & Empire" variant developed by Jeffrey Kase and B.M. Powell. It starts up at the end of the Seven Year's War (1756-63). It is a well-researched and thought-out variant that cries out for inclusion in this web site. Check out http://www.diplom.org/Zine/F2008M/AnE/AErules.htm.

I'd like to see a variant about the Crusades, involving the European powers, the Arabs, maybe Byzantium, set in the Holy Land. Possibly without weird rules, only with victory condition 50%+1, Jerusalem.

Having Jerusalem as a victory condition would make a stalemate line too easy, I feel. I mean, how is, for example, Denmark going to get there?
Decima Legio (1987 D)
01 Feb 13 UTC
Because of this I said "set in the Holy Land".
I wouldn't ask for another classic map expanded towards east; there's a plenty of them.
I'd like to see a map of the Holy Land with Jerusalem in the middle, having the European factions starting not from their motherland, but from their coastal strongholds
Mertvaya Ruka (1468 D)

Ahhh, okay, that makes more sense.
RUFFHAUS 8 (2490 D)
01 Feb 13 UTC
Great idea, Decima. I particularly like the idea of using Jerusalem in the victory conditions, but it becomes to complicated to design a map that makes this a playable feature, perhaps Jerusalem could be weighted to count as multiple supply centers.
