Thanks for the plug, Yuriy.

Since the transform rule is NOT usual to the variant (it was implemented with this additional rule by Kaner in his vDip port, for reasons I am still unsure about), JUNK IT!!!

I would love to see KW901 back here.

Is there any reason why sites should be compliant with the latest publications from Hasbro, Incorporated? I'd be keen on knowing how they determine their rule changes before seeing them as anything other than suggestions Other than that these are the rules of the game? LOL They are one of many sets...

I have performed a comparative analysis of the Renegade's 6th Edition (2023) rule book and the previous 5th edition (2008) rule book. Disregarding cosmetic and non-substantive changes (such as changing the colors of the example maps or dropping a reference the CD-Rom version of the game), there are ...

I have not yet performed a line by line comparison, but a quick look revealed:

1. A further clarification that impossible order=hold order; and

2. A new, clear procedure for civil disorder removals.

The new Renegade edition of the rules is now available at https://renegadegamestudios.com/diplomacy/

This is a 5 player variant set in pre-Aztec Mesoamerica. I do not believe any previous variant has tackled this subject matter. Rules and abbreviations are on the map. One notable rule is a unit conversion/transformation option. The variant can be found at https://davidecohen.wixsite.com/diplomiscel...

Some changes. Other than cosmetic stuff and a few name changes, I moved the dot to in Barcino south to the newly created Valentia, and changed the unit to a fleet with options to move to Ligurian Sea or Tyrhennian Sea. I combined Barcino and Tarraconensis, and combined Tolosa and Aquitaine. I think ...

I will concede that there are many possibly correct spellings.

The period will be removed.

I do not believe Asturia is a typo, for this era.

This eight-player variant is set in an uncommon era, between the fall of Rome and the rise of Islam, toward the end of that period, in 609, during the Heraclian revolt against Emperor Phocas. I welcome comments or criticism. Variant rules are on the map, which can be found at https://davidecohen.wix...

Looking for comments on this variant in development. Some background info and initial thoughts: 1. The smallest variant, in number of Powers (5) and Supply Centers (25) I have ever deisigned. 2. No fleets to start, but they can be built and will be useful for cracking defensive positions. 3. Some of...

There's a glorious freedom in being nearly dead, The Diplo-Hagakure: The Way of the Soloist is found in losing to a Solo. When it comes to a sure draw, or a small chance at a Solo with elimination likely, there is only the choice of taking a chance. It is not particularly difficult. Be determined a...

You want to improve? Find the most skillful and dedicated players, and play against them as often as possible. Its as simple as that.

In other words, you are having Nunavut.

It ain't nothing but a heart-breaker.

Friend only to the undertaker?

What's even funnier IMO is that you can, in theory, survive indefinitely with positive number of centers but no units. True - if you hold one or more SCs outside your home centres, but at some point your remaining units are displaced with no retreat option and so have to disband. You cannot build a...

I never really thought about it, since it doesn't make a difference to me, but yeah, you are right. For a quantum of time, that is true

That is very strange. The adjudication that would give the winner the dots necessary to solo would be the same adjudication that would reduce the questioner's total number of dots to zero. Am I missing something here?
