[Upcoming] Renaissance: 1453
Hail diplomats! I wanted to share a very small project I have been working on. Soon we will have the chance to play 'Renaissance: 1453'!

It's basically the legendary 'Renaissance' variant with two minor changes: the start date is 1453 (one year back), and Constantinople is now neutral (as the Eastern Roman Empire still stood). The change was needed as the Ottoman Turks easily steamrolled their opposition more often than not.

Expect Renaissance: 1453 to be a more bloodthirsty experience than Classic. =)

Looks like a great map Enriador. Funny seeing 1901 territories allocated to countries 550 years prior!

"Note. Calais is not in the vicinity of Brest, it's further east, on the straits of Dover... but what the hell"
I wonder why they didn't put England in Bel (renamed as Calais) instead of Bre.

Also, more copies of the rules:

@JECE

I heard the theory (on a random forum somewhere) that they only did it so France wouldn't be identical to Classic.

England in Brest does make for very interesting politics between S/E/F, and it's not like historical accuracy was a priority for them - Polish Novgorod, urgh!

"Game-Restrictions in effect.

You can join or create 0 additional games."

That's why I can't play this variant.

Don't worry. Keep playing games to the end and avoid missing moves. As your reliability rises so will your limit for games.

No problem. I would like to play this variant though.

@teacon7

I think so; Unrated games only interfere with your points. At least that's what I inferred from the FAQ.

I love the start up scenario for this game. It looks like classic, but so many different variables. Very tricky.

@tantrumizer

I love it too, it's a variant I always wanted to play. I am glad people is having fun with it!

It's good to remember that the map was made by two other guys. I just tweaked it a little for balance purposes (and renamed Sevastopol due to its blatantly improper name).

Issue with South American Supremacy Map
Hey, I'm getting ready to start a game with some friends using the South American Supremacy map. It appears the map is starting with a fleet in Bogata, which is a landlocked territory. the variant homepage lists Bogata as starting with an army. Is there is a good way to correct this? Thanks!

Map Markings
I apologize if this is a repeat question or if it's found somewhere obvious, but I'm brand new to vDiplomacy and I can't seem to find what the difference is between the two types of what I believe are SC markings on the Bye Bye Federalism map.

Can someone help me?

Option to play a variant with fewer than the max number of players?
Hello all,

I and two of my friends love playing 3 player diplo games together. Having gone through the different 3 player maps, I'm wondering if there is a way to play on some of the larger variants, but with just 3 people? For instance, I'd love it if we could play a 3 player game on Fall of the American Empire IV.

Policy For Site Unavailability/Glitch
What do you mods think about having some kind of policy posted to address when the site goes down or is not functional in the future? You have chosen to cancel the 1st game of Divided States over this, but the last time I was involved in a game that had this happen, the last phase was replayed. So currently, the response isn't consistent.

Can't send press during build phase?
Hi, during one of my games, I seem to not be able to send press during build phase? I have been away from the site for a few years, so is this a new feature/rule I'm unaware of or is there something wrong with the game I'm in?

Does vDiplomacy not have an option to send email notifications upon important game events?

I just recently set up a game, then came back to check on it a couple days later only to find that I'd NMR'd it without even knowing. I couldn't find anything in my email, even in Spam or Trash.

WTA vs Draw-Disvaluated Scoring
What about adding Draw-Disvaluated Scoring to vDip?

It's a mix of Calhamer Scoring (aka Winner-Takes-All) with Draw-Zero Scoring, and has the fortunate effect of pushing players towards a solo unless a draw is absolutely necessary. Solos work like in WTA, but draws are different.

PPSC vs SoS
I couldn’t find the answer in Help.
I know PPSC means in a solo the points are allocated based on supply centre count while in a draw it reverts to an equal split of points like DSS/WTA
For SoS over on WebDip, in a draw the points are allocated on a sum of Squares principle. But Help section doesn’t say what happens in a solo. Same method or reverts to winner takes all? I’m assuming SoS whether draw or solo but checking
Thanks
