If it's a Gunboat (no communication) game, you can choose "fill empty spots with bots".

Alternatively, you can advertise on the forum for a 7th player. Be sure to mention it's a game amongst friends.

Lastly, sister site vDiplomacy allows variants with 6 players on the Classic map.

There's another important aspect: There's a lot of hidden communication in Gunboat, with supports sent to other players as a suggestion of moves or alliances. Bots don't pick up on this communication as well as humans do.

AH ! I've experienced the slow bots since I joined 10 days ago or so... and it's always either Germany or France which are slow... Anyways, thanks for the reply ! As for building new units, what if the regions changed hands so much I don't own any of the centers I've started with ? I think I've exp...

Hi Spriithy, 1) The bots should not be that slow. Did you press the Ready button? If so, it should be a temporary server issue. 2) It's hard to get the right amount of people together at the same time for a game that will last 3-5 hours. I recommend joining the Blitz Press community https://webdiplo...

I had no idea I was playing a bot in the 6 games I played against it! Very impressive communication.

Yes, it always replied with good grammar and interpunction. I typically do as well, and several others players do too. It didn't strike me as a tell.

Good feedback all. Move colors are a must I think, an option to display a faded view of the orders from the past turn, and a way to enable classic colors / icons. The Beta is just great. It works so much better for live games. It would be nice to have a better reminder that you have orders due. We'...

The Beta is just great. It works so much better for live games.

It would be nice to have a better reminder that you have orders due. We're all frequently not noticing we have builds/retreats and how many, causing missed turns.

On my PC, when Playing Beta and waiting for a live game to start, there is no information regarding the game. It would be nice to see a timer and the number of participants.

I'm trying to find a thread where I can provide feedback on the new Play Beta, but can only find this. Could someone direct me?

Found it, thanks.

Today I played a 5min/turn RulebookPress game on mobile* with the new UI. It worked quite well! I don't think I could've done it on the old interface. One thing: I couldn't see the timer while I was chatting. That was very stressful. I can imagine the UI isn't supposed to support this lunacy. I was ...

Invite codes are for private games, often between friends. You don't get one unless you're invited personally.

So, if you play against someone in non-anonimous and then a new game starts, and you know they are trustworthy, and work with them the second time? That is bad? Maybe all games should be anonimous then. No, the rules are clear on this: You can't enter a games with a pre-determined intent to ally or...

For anonymous games - it's anonymous. If you can't tell who's talking (the situation in all but the most extreme cases), then do you need to avoid playing with them? Because they're even more unpleasant to talk to in anonymous games. I think it's a fine idea. At first I was worried about abuse, but...

That is very unfortunate, and not intended.

I recommend completing a game against bots. Should only take 5 minutes to get eliminated, and your RR will be set.

I successfully added two relations, I think. Though my profile seems to suggest I'm in a relationship with myself (until you click on it). Is that the desired representation?

Gracchus is correct. Your saved orders will be carried out. Always save a preliminary set of orders to prevent missing a turn!

It's not a job for life

It's alive!

It's our sister site, aimed at variants. Many things are shared, including the design and interface.
