| 28 Feb 23 UTC | Spring, 1740: (Avocado): FYI, a lot of countries start with fewer units then supply centers, after the start of the game, they will act as normal sc but just do t start with a unit |
| 28 Feb 23 UTC | Spring, 1740: (Ethan14): Aight |
| 28 Feb 23 UTC | Spring, 1740: (rrrr77): yeah that's a balancing thing. Reminder that you should always read variant rules |
| 28 Feb 23 UTC | Spring, 1740: (rrrr77): I played this game for the dover qualifiers, it's an interesting dynamic |
| 28 Feb 23 UTC | Spring, 1740: (Avocado): It looks really fun |
| 28 Feb 23 UTC | Spring, 1740: (Avocado): Also does Spain control Sicily and Naples because the rules don’t say they do but it is the correct color? |
| 28 Feb 23 UTC | Spring, 1740: (rrrr77): They do indeed, however they almost always lose it. Piedmont is kinda dumb here, it's not defensible if France decides so and the army in SAR is incredibly weak |
| 28 Feb 23 UTC | Spring, 1740: (Avocado): And yet statistics say that they are the best |
| 28 Feb 23 UTC | Spring, 1740: (rrrr77): Right, they key part is France, if France allys with spain piedmont is dead, which was my point on it being vulnerable. However its unlikely cause of England, so while conflict between Spain and Piedmont is very likely, France may not attack so Piedmont gets a grip on Italy, which is almost any diplomacy map is a powerful posistion to be in. |
| 01 Mar 23 UTC | Spring, 1740: (Avocado): But I think overall, this map is pretty balanced |
| 01 Mar 23 UTC | Spring, 1740: Why do they not have the kingdom of the two Sicily's? Should have been its own country, that would have been cooler. Also I think Prussia actually owns Silesia at this time |
| 01 Mar 23 UTC | Spring, 1740: The Kingdom of Two Sicilies would not be founded for nearly 80 years from now |
| 01 Mar 23 UTC | Spring, 1740: That region was in fact under the control of Spain during this time frame |
| 01 Mar 23 UTC | Spring, 1740: Oops, got my timeframe off, I’m usually better about that |
| 01 Mar 23 UTC | Spring, 1740: Most diplomacy maps are historically accurate, that's basically the entire jist of diplomacy mape creation |
| 02 Mar 23 UTC | Autumn, 1740: https://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=53531#gamePanel I highly encourage you guys take a brief look at the dover qualifers on this map. I persornally was France and was screwed from the beginning when England attacked me(let this be a lesson, some wars can lead to stalemates and screw both party's over while everyone else gets strong. If it's not a lopsided conflict, it's a bad idea). And yes im salty about that, the stalemate cost me the game. |
| 02 Mar 23 UTC | Autumn, 1740: also note that spain is our best player, while Russia and Ottomans did something we call juggernauting, normally this is fine, however they did it again in the championship, which puts a lot of evidence against them metagaming. Also Austria went AFK |
| 02 Mar 23 UTC | Autumn, 1740: Why bother giving spain naples and Sicily if they physically can’t stop people from taking them |
| 02 Mar 23 UTC | Autumn, 1740: Deals, you make deals |
| 02 Mar 23 UTC | Autumn, 1740: Also historical accuracy |
