Ridiculously high reliability requirements
Hey, everyone? I don't think we need to insist on every game involving people who've already played 500 phases and never even missed one. I think anyone with a reliability rating over 90% is probably perfectly reliable and maybe just once or twice had a problem with their internet connection.
It's a neat feature but let's not go overboard hmmm?

Roman Empire Collapsing
here are my ideas for a variant i'm making! Plz let me know your ideas and other stuff!
crixno (1248 D)
27 Mar 12 UTC
So i am going to make a variant soon and i have some ideas, but need suggestions! So far my idea was to have a huge map of the Roman Empire at it furthest extent! But the empire has just started falling into chaos. All of its provinces have split from it and made its own kingdom (Each provence is just like a country in normal diplomacy)! Some are lager than others and some are much smaller. I will probably merge the very small ones with their neighbor(s). There will be one more types of unit: A different type of army called a legion. Legions can force other armies out of the SC or non-SC they are. The own side of legions is that they cannot support except other legions. This is because they are already really powerful and in real life, a legion was much bigger than a normal army!

Well, a legion was the name of various military units in Rome, but they were smaller than armies after the republican periods (in the republican area, Rome mustered 2 legions, and each was an independent army led by the consul). A legion consitred about 8000 men, and an army was made up from 2-3 or more legions.

Another thing is, that there were no Roman armies without legions. All armies were built on the heavy infantry of the legions. Of course, there were other troops as well, like archers and cavalry, but they were called "auxillia" - the origin of the "auxilliary forces" expression.

I like the idea of units with different streght, but this is far from being historically acuurate.

I think this will be a great addition to vDiplomacy (sounds like Rini- Italian variant)

@adalephat - IIRC a legion consisted of 7000 men, not 8000.

Remember- only 2 unit types are possible, so adding the Legion means you have to get rid of either armies or fleets
GOD (1791 D Mod (B))
27 Mar 12 UTC
how about calling the lighter units coorts and the bigger ones legions?
this would be historically accurate...but if there arent many SCs this would mean kinda not that many soldiers...

crixno (1248 D)

and the other problem is that once i post my variant on the variant forums, theres a big chance it wont get accepted!
If you work hard enough and use all your effort, I'm sure it will be accepted.
Also I could help with anything you need...

@ butterhead: You can not have armies, legions, and fleets?
Shep315 (1435 D)
27 Mar 12 UTC
well I think it might be theoretically possible, but I think it would take a massive amount of coding
crixno (1248 D)
27 Mar 12 UTC
yeah... butterhead, you can add extra types of units just like the horse in that germany varaint!
crixno (1248 D)
27 Mar 12 UTC
@ Shep315- thats true...
butterhead (1272 D)
27 Mar 12 UTC
@G-Man- current coding only allows 2 unit types. unless he has EXTENSIVE coding knowledge, it will be damn near impossible.
@crixno- yes, you can have different unit types, but you can only have up to 2 different types(unless you have the coding knowledge)
crixno (1248 D)
27 Mar 12 UTC
i don't have much coding knowledge so i guess ill just stick with the basics unless you have any ideas for switching out the 2 basic units for something else?
G-Man (2466 D)
27 Mar 12 UTC
Thanks, good to know. The variant I'm working on uses the usual two, but I also like the idea of having additional types of units.
Yep, we're limited by 2 types of units unless someone is a coding ace and can magically increase that. Of course you can play around with how this is implemented as it doesn't have to be just armies or fleets eg Germany 1648 has two types of armies with different behaviours, ditto Pirates but only using fleets.
