Help needed: Our 4 press-types.
Hi everybody.
I'm working on a rules-page about our 4 press-types.
Someone willing to submit some guide what these different press-types are, and what these mean for playing the game?

Imbalanced map?
It seems as if several maps need some balancing work. For example, England* v Turkey is skewed toward England, and in Rinascimento, the French are virtually at the hands of other players’ wills.

Hello, I have a problem
Hello, I have a problem. I am going away for a few days (tomorrow), and I don't know how to quit the game I am in. There are 36 players, so I cannot reasonably ask for all of them to pause --- besides, there isn't enough time --- so I am stuck.

Playing with fewer players
Hi all!

I know this is probably a noob question, but I need to resolve this issue: is it possible to start a game with fewer players than those normally expected? I tried it once with the Rinascimento variant, but the game didn't launch just because there weren't 12 players.
Thank you in advance!

New convoy-code.
Thanks to tobi1 we have a new and improved convoy-code.
This was really a problem for all "big" variants.
Very cool you could solve this problem. I did take a look at your code, but I'm absolutely clueless... :-)

Gunboat specs
If the "Gunboat", "Public Press", or "Per Rulebook" rules are employed, shouldn't the game be automatically "Anon" as well? If it weren't, then players could just PM each other, defeating the purpose.

Question about social norms for players
In a large game, a reliable player asked the mods to extend the game for Easter. The request was general and largely in the name of other player: "Hey guys, it's Easter, and in a big game, some people will probably be traveling to see family." The extension was granted, and requests like that are likely to be accepted.

Bot wars
I've been wondering how well you could write a script to play gunboat diplomacy. Probably not very well (at least to begin with!), but it would be fun to try. I don't really have the time to do this properly right now, but I'm interested to know if it has been done before, or whether anyone would be keen to try at some point in the future.

[Upcoming] Renaissance: 1453
Hail diplomats! I wanted to share a very small project I have been working on. Soon we will have the chance to play 'Renaissance: 1453'!
Enriador (1507 D)
26 Mar 18 UTC

It's basically the legendary 'Renaissance' variant with two minor changes: the start date is 1453 (one year back), and Constantinople is now neutral (as the Eastern Roman Empire still stood). The change was needed as the Ottoman Turks easily steamrolled their opposition more often than not.

Map: https://i.imgur.com/joYAak2.png

Expect Renaissance: 1453 to be a more bloodthirsty experience than Classic. =)

"Note. Calais is not in the vicinity of Brest, it's further east, on the straits of Dover... but what the hell"
I wonder why they didn't put England in Bel (renamed as Calais) instead of Bre.

Also, more copies of the rules:

@JECE

I heard the theory (on a random forum somewhere) that they only did it so France wouldn't be identical to Classic.

England in Brest does make for very interesting politics between S/E/F, and it's not like historical accuracy was a priority for them - Polish Novgorod, urgh!

Don't worry. Keep playing games to the end and avoid missing moves. As your reliability rises so will your limit for games.

I think so; Unrated games only interfere with your points. At least that's what I inferred from the FAQ.

I love the start up scenario for this game. It looks like classic, but so many different variables. Very tricky.

@tantrumizer

I love it too, it's a variant I always wanted to play. I am glad people is having fun with it!

It's good to remember that the map was made by two other guys. I just tweaked it a little for balance purposes (and renamed Sevastopol due to its blatantly improper name).
