oppening bids
given how the opening turn works in Greece, would it be possible to play the classic map where everyone can bid on opening territories, rather then being assigned some?

I have a problem
Today I can't save or finalize my orders. After few seconds i push save or fnlz, the page becomes blank; you can wait hours but, although the Mozilla circle spins, nothing happens. So I reloaded the main page and tried again. I tried 10 times unsuccessful, then I tried saving 1 unit per time. Sometime it works, but it took 1 hour to complete a 9 units game. Help! Any advice?

Sengoku Discussion?
Hi. I'm interested in trying out a Sengoku game after I'm done with the game I'm in now. I'd like to read up a little about folks' experiences first, though, and I can't find any discussion here. If you've played one of these variants before, sound off and let me know what you thought.

Anonymous games...
So, there's no way to pimp anonymous games here in the forum, Eh? I like the idea of anonymous games, but if I started one and advertised it, it would kind of wreck the whole anonymous vibe. Pity.

New Variant
I don't know anything about making variants, but i think it would be awesome if someone created a space exploration variant where you might need different type of ships to move across space instead of boat and armies. and instead of covvoy its more like a hyper drive or something like that. space travel variant would be so cool

Italy vs. Germany
Does anyone have a large list of opening moves or styles to this Variant. What I have noticed so far is that its really easy to win as Germany if you know what you are doing and when you do have a Germany who knows what he's doing it can be very challenging to win as Italy.

Thoughts on 1066 Gunboat
The stats show that Normans get the most wins in 1066 games. Although that is historically accurate I find Norwegians to have a slight advantage at least in gunboat games and I was hoping to use this thread to start up a discussion about the whole thing.

If we can get a third interested player soon we might be able to play semi-live.

So is it gman314 and Ambassador as the two people I am playing?
Yep. I guess.
Any element you wanted to yes in particular?
Might be wrong but I'm guessing the original premise if a semi live game is mow going to become occassionally moderately live :-p
Shep315 (1435 D)
16 May 11 UTC
glad I got some people talking and testing lol, my theory at present is that if Normandy and England go all out against each other Norway can conquer Scotland and then sweep the south of Great Britain, in fact I have been wanting to test a new strategy I have for England
Shep315 (1435 D)
16 May 11 UTC
wow I just checked the stats and Norway is only 2 wins short of Normandy
Ok so the choice we have is either play a normal 1066 gunboat game like how we would've normally intended to play or test shep's theory. I'm ok with both, but would suggest if we do the theory option we probably need to set some guidelines on how England should logically behave in at least trying to protect their rear. Also i'd suggest if we do the theory option we all agree once it's clear Norway would've won we draw so we don't screw up stats etc. What do you guys think?

Tried 1066 once before, and found it to be interesting. Game was skewed by a player that dropped out after the first year, so hard to get a good feel for the game from that.
Shep315 (1435 D)
17 May 11 UTC
yeah that game screwed up the strategy I wanted to test :/
fasces349 (1007 D)
18 May 11 UTC
For the next 1066 gunboat, we should do public press, so we can talk about the strategies and see what does and doesn't work...
mesocell (980 D)

password is test, I think that after its clear someone is going to win we should cancel to prevent a misleading change in the stats

Ok now that the test is done what all do you guys have to say about Norway's strengths, weaknesses, and the game in general. I think it showed that an all-out Anglo-Norman war is great for Norway and if played correctly the Scotland and the North Sea can be taken control of easily if England and Normandy fight each other hard enough
