On Imperial Civilization's off-topic thread (link inside), there was a brief stint of Second to Last Person to Post Wins. Now that the thread is closed, Oli won.

According to the Wikipedia page for Diplomacy, there was supposedly a variant called "Diplomacy of the Three Kingdoms". Based on the Three Kingdoms in Ancient China, it was created by Edi Birsan to introduce the basic ideas of the main game to a Chinese audience with a setting more close to their own historical experience. I can't find this game online, and the map isn't on this site. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could play it!

Please someone just cure my rat wars addiction I can't stop playing Rat Wars it's my weekly fix of dopamine at this point

Hello all,
I am new to the platform but I long time Diplomacy Enjoyer. I noticed that I can only join 2 new games having played less than 20 phases. But there does not seem to be a limit to the number of open positions I am allowed to join. Is this intentional?
I appreciate the opportunity to join more games and increase my phases played, but I want to know if I will be able to join more new games once I reach the 20 phase count. Any insight would be appreciated.

Hi!!! What about to do a REDUX-variation for Napoleonic? With neutrals powers (sc) and possibly holding neutral units? It will be very interesting,I suppose. I have already written to the author Firehawk. Let's see what he will answer. And do you think about this idea?

How do you achieve a 3-way draw in a game with 85 SC and a solo threshold of 26? This has happened twice in the "Vikings" variant, according to the stats page. https://www.vdiplomacy.net/variants.php?variantID=63

Would it be possible to add a filter for public/private games?
Being new to the platform, it is frustrating to see a bunch of games behind a password.
Also, where do I find the cool kids so I can get into private games?

Happy 2026 everyone!

Hey everyone,

I used to play Diplomacy on the Conspiracy mobile app a few years back before it shut down and recently decided to return to the game! vDiplomacy is where I landed as you can see. If you used to be a Conspiracy player as well let me know!

Is this map from some novels or games, or just a whole new map created by someone?

Guys, I'm in China and right now my VPN is off but I can press and move in games and I can look at the forum and I can do everything without China blocking me, I don't understand why this is happening?

I noticed we’ve had a couple downages recently. Curious what the reason is.

So I've been in the process of making a Diplomacy Variant. I plan to take the "Europa Renovatio" map and update and expand it. (What I mean to say is, because it's a translation of the EU4 map, it's gone out of date since then.)

Is the FAQ up to date? Im not sure what this is talking about. Did you just copy and paste this from webdip? One answer talks about the forum as if it’s been switched to a category format, which I know happened at webdip years ago clearly not here unless you switched back.

This thread is made for the express purpose of cutting down of multiple threads that deal with new variants, ideas, concepts etc...

This is filler text because I can't post a message longer than four lines for some reason. The real post is the comment below.

Flowery War seems to be set up as map 150, but not able to be played, while the variant next numbered, Europa Renovatio, is playable. Why is that?

I've heard that it is incredibly hard to make a good map for around three players for instance, the 1066 makes the Norwegians so powerful but somehow the 843: Treaty of Verdun seems like it is almost perfectly balanced. How is this possible? Looking at the map it is quite hard to see symmetry but yet it still works. What makes the Treaty of Verdun different?

Hi all, I designed some diplomacy map, but I don't know how to make it on phone or PC

This thread is purely for 1v1-related games and maps. From opening theory, game plan and strategies, which powers hold the advantage, etc.

Anyone willing to help me gain some rep? I used to play this game years ago, and would really like to get back into it. But i cant join any games due to my fresh ratings and the rules.

Hi! I used to play tabletop and just recently discovered variants, now playing on vDiplomacy and I have a trouble with Support orders. I misplayed few times because I'm used to write support orders noting From first, and To last. I hope for that option in settings.
