Dear Kestas,

In the game "Boludo!!!4", I ordered the army at Piedmont to support hold at Marseilles. I am sure the fleet in Marseilles wasn't ordered to move to anywhere but now, the fleet there was forced to retreat, please check.

by attacking one with support?

Dear Kestas
in game "Aint Dip w/o a Stab" I had an army in Rumania which should retreat, but I can't give the order.

When drawing a support-move, it points to the move line. However, when the move is to a bi-coastal territory, the line point to the line at the center of the nation. However, it doesn't always happen like this, look at the map below. support into spain from GoL is incorrectly drawn.
Perhaps best would be all move arrows point to the center of the territory?

Hi Kestas, please take a look at the game lol-7
i am sure i had ordered a move from black sea to con and con to bulg.
the second one matured, but the first one seems to have gone missing.

Please could we have the red spots back. If we're having green for on-line players, then we should have the red ones back for those who are off-line.
This won't take much more coding, although depends how you do it (using a php script to make the image, or to change the image link based on the main page generation, which is probably quicker overall)

If I go to joinable games, I see that, for a small fee, I can take over for players. It says their nation is in civil disorder. What exactly does that mean?

Under new game there is simply no option for it for me.

Just noticed that you can't change your password anymore- is that deliberate?

Would it be possible to take in consideration the points you actually put in one game? This would make the ranking more accurate. Some people have a lot of points invest in games but are close to 0 actual point and are very low in the rankings, which is very far from being accurate.

I guess its been proposed before, but I am just saying.

I thought the phase should end when everyone finalizes, but apparently that's not the case. Do we still have to wait the seventeen hours left, or is there a way to get it to move faster?

Hello, I am currently working on the svg version of the map. There are several things, that should be fixed up, before it will be usable. Although it is not finished yet it looks quite nice, I thing. Here you can see preview:
http://stary.czp.cuni.cz/petr/dipl/map.svg.php?gid=3&gdate=0
It is freely scalable:
http://stary.czp.cuni.cz/petr/dipl/map.svg.php?gid=3&gdate=0&scale=0.5

The main problem now is, that I can't get correct data about history from database. I also should make it working in IE with plugin (currently it is workink only in Opera or Firefox).

(this is related to previous thread, but I prefered to post it like new one)

I think I finally got to the root of the problem: The code was saving pre-determined map folders, so that it wouldn't need to check that the game's map-cache folder exists over and over. It used a static variable to do this, and I thought a static variable's scope would be limited to a single object's initialization. Turned out the same map-cache-folder variable was being used by other games too, and static variable scope is global

So game ID 1234 would wipe its maps successfully, but gameID 1235 would be processed right after that, and would try to wipe its maps from 1234's map-cache folder

Now that has been resolved I think maps should always be up to date from now on.

It would be hard to implement an option to select the country you would like to play with? Guess that can be optional, since, if I am right, in the tabletop game there's no choosing.

What do you think of it?

Just scrolling down the list of joinable games...seems to have expanded quite rapidly recently. There are a lot of players going into CD in 1902. new players i think.
whats up with this? are new people joining the site and games and not realizing you need to check the game every 24 hours? some more sinsiter reason?
just recently ive had a few games where some players have joined but failed to make even the spring 01 move.

I tried to tone down the colours but keep the saturation levels quite high, i dont think i could tweak it a little more without specific details on what people would want doing. If i get no feedback concerning detailed improvements, or if we know for sure the SVG map is being used, then i'll stop making new ones.

Thanks to everyone who rated the other maps i did though, i appreciated it.

Can a fleet from Norway go to St.Petersburg or it has first to go to Barents sea ?
Can a fleet from Norway support St.Petersburg ?

Thanks

Kestas, please will you add in little checks making old links valid again. As many will have noticed game id's are now called gameID instead of gid, and user's have userID instead of uid. Please would you add in a little element so that old links which use the old definitions still work

I have forces in Venice, Vienna, Tyrrhenian Sea, and Sevastopol. I need to destroy a unit, but instead of given a choice of Sevastopol, I'm given a choice of Galicia.

I am playing England in the following game ( see map http://phpdiplomacy.net/mapstore/317/3176/3176-3-largemap.png)

I did attack the Russia Denmark Fleet from Fleet in North Sea supported by Fleet in Belgium. Was it a valid move?.
Looks like it had been refused whereas Denmark had not support.

Thanks

Hey, this is my first time playing diplomacy; could someone please clarify a rule for me?
In http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=3107 Austria has a force in Sevastopol and Turkey has a force in Galicia. It is currently the build season, so why weren't those lands conquered by those respective players?
Thanks

Why no stand off?

Sev supports Ukraine into Rumania
Serbia supports Bulgaria into Rumania

Is difficult to define setting for new games such as: turn duration, number of players, ecc.

in game win message (maybe in the other game ending messages too?), the < and > in the img tag are html escaped, so i see "<img src="images/coin.png" />!" instead of the coin image.

my little pony frozen!

Whilst I think having the orders on the map will be much neater, I am going to join the crowd asking for text orders to return. There are some occasions when with many nations all supporting each other in almost circular moves that it becomes very difficult to understand quite which is which. Please could we have another tab which just lists the orders from last phase, using the same wording as when they are finalized.
