To all players in my games:
I do apologize for my NMR's, 1 CD, lack of Comm in some games, and making phases with just hours left. I have been very busy with RL situations and it has been a struggle to get online. I should be ok now, but my apologize again.

Ottomans were no pushover at this time... And they have the most neutrals, yet tied for least SC's.
Can only attack Russia, no chance for compromise with a fleet no where near an SC but from Russia. Austria + Russia I could see becoming the new Juggernaut. Turkey to get at max 2 SC's.

@Kaner406 & gopher 27 Andalusia connects to Gibraltar and Gibraltar connects to Morocco.
@gopher27 That's not going to be UK official colour. I have my own game board (made of a print out map and cardboard) to run a FtF game after getting to a finalish draft. I have a diplomacy set which Britain's colour is similar to what you see. In the finished version, most likely pink for vdip.
@gopher27 You have to consider that Austria is surrounded. France will definitely want to push into Italy along with Spain and Britain. Austria will have a hard time dislodging the British or Spanish in Two Sicilies or Papal States because of Austria's weak naval strength (0 at start) If Austria loses Milan, goodbye Italy.

Bavaria is a sure and most likely Serbia but then Austria has to keep an eye on Russia and Turkey.

Then the menace of the North, Prussia. While there is buffer space between them if Prussia allies with Russia and/or France Austria faces the lose of Bavaria, then Prague...

Austria I feel is a paper tiger. Menacing looking but it's very menace makes sure that the other powers will feel the need to combine against her and she has so many fronts to guard against with the advantaged of a lot of growth potential.

@TheWorst The thing is that while yes Russia and Austria is effective, Russia/Turkey is still a very strong alliance and a Austria/Turkey can decimate Russia. What we want is in a diplomatic triangle is a 33% chance of an dual alliance within the triangle, to be good Diplomacy and good balance.

So....Liverpool and Ireland having dots?

Does Sweden have an East Coast-West Coast? If not, I'd recommend one. Prussia can't keep Russia out of Scandinavia and that could get ugly, if Sweden can support an army into Norway. Do we need the Hel. Bight? Is it build anywhere? Should Norway be a SC? Britain gets Denmark, so Norway isn't as needed, and let's face it, Norway was not Sweden or Denmark in 1821.

But all that aside, it looks cool. Although, I can't seem to find Barings Bank on the map. I'm sure that it just an oversight on your part.

@gopher27 Sweden and Dnemark are the same as standard, the map was drawn to show a connection between them.
Yes, Liverpool, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin are British SCs however, Britain starts with fleets in Malta and Gibraltar and no units in Liverpool or Dublin.

It would be interesting to have standing neutrals with neighbours to support each other to hold - might make realistic to the independent countries of that era...
Love the map airborne. Being a bit of a stickler for getting historical accuracies right, I feel Spain shouldn't be a player. Spain was weak before Napoleon and it was weak after him. Realistically it should be a 1 or 2 SC neutral tops. Similarly the coalition powers trampled France and reduced its military immediateIy after the Treaty of Paris, so for accuracy while it should be a great power it should only start with 3 SCs. Plus making Spain a non player increases the importance of France not starting so strongly. On the plus side I like how Bavaria can be taken straight away by Austria, as they were clearly under Austria's sphere of influence.

Does the British start with a F GIBR & F MALTA? They have brittish colors, and that would twist the gameplay a bit.
Btw Greece was Ottoman territory in 1815, they become free around 1820. And a second problem: It is not Budapest, just Buda or Pest (two different cities) till 1867. And there were no military garrisons in either Buda or Pest that time, plus Hungary's official capital was Pozsony (Pressburg, now Bratislava).
Otherwise great map!

@adaephat This was an oversight on my part, I believed that Greece being neutral helped the game balance a bit however, I'm very much considering moving the Greek SC to Netherlands, spliting Netherlands into Lower Netherlands and Upper Netherlands both worth an SC to help out Prussia
@The Ambassador while yes France was defeated again at Waterloo, losing the Saar and more land along the Rhine. Napoleon shows there was a strong "army in being" and the French economy and infrastructure was still better off than the other powers besides Britain. Despite the damage done by the Prussians in the north and the general hardships of the war. France was still a strong country and would the number 2 (or 3) power in the world till 1871.

Spain still had it's colonies, Spanish royal army true was proven to be very weak, the Spanish people prove to be up to the challenge and were able to cause considerable damage to the French with guerrilla tactics. Spain was still considered a first mark nation, only just however, I feel Spain in 1815 is much stronger relatively to Italy in 1901.

You know guys, the map clearly says 1821. I noticed that when I saw that Greece was non-Ottoman. Aren't we lucky to have adalephat to remind us of our ignorance of Hungarian history? :oP

Maybe I'm playing Gunboats wrong...
But when I start a gunboat, I generally choose a target very quickly. This then becomes either a fantastic success getting me to a draw, or a horrible disaster getting me eliminated. What's a better tactic?
