here's a description of the variant. the map on the xbsd is slightly different from the one in this article.

i would be interested but will have to be tomorow

cool sounds good.

can o give the link of your game djbent?

The map on xvsd's site is a newer version of this map.
Here's a link: http://www.variantbank.org/results/rules/h/hundred.htm

It seems that in the original map units could be built in any controlled SC as long as the power had at least one of the home sc's.
Is that applied in this version you played djb?

I would worry that with three people, its too easy to decide the game before it starts. If draws weren't allowed and if it was WTA.....

it is something that can be decided pre-game: no draws and wta.

I would like to try

me too toodoonte

well, then we are enough:
djbent
DingleberryJones
Troodonte

Are registred in the other site?

*Are you

yes, you have to be registered there... apparantly, the new map patches are all available now, and soon I'm sure Kestas will upload them here... there are 4 new maps on that site:

Hundred (3 players)
Mediterranean (5 players - set in 1AD with Carthiage, Rome, Greece, Persia, and Egypt)
South America (4 playes - Brazil, Columbia, Chile, Argentina)
South America (5 plyayers - Brazil, Columbia, Chile, Argentina, Venezuela)

and two Standard maps with minor changes:
Fleet Rome (Italy has fleet rome instead of army rome)
Milan (Italy has a new center in Milan with an army between Piedmont and Venice, and Venice is no longer a dot)


the Korean site suffers from lack of communication as a rule, so yes, getting players from here is best as a lot of their local players tend not to talk too much, or maybe CANT talk English.. thats been my experience anyways...


as for Hundred, draws are extremely rare because it has 17 dots, so an 8/8 2-way draw is very unstable and almost impossible to keep, so most often, you'll have a winner. and yes, alliances SHOULD shift almost turn-by-turn, you have to be truly flexible

I really like the Med map... so if there are 4 good players willing to try it, I'd like to create a new Med map as well... who's in?

i'm playing an ancient-med game at the moment, it's a lot of fun.

though one player looks about to go CD and another doesn't seem to talk that much (and is about to be destroyed) -> http://dip.xbsd.kr/games/436/

I've played ~10 games on the new maps there.

The Hundred Years is quite useless for my taste. This is not Diplomacy.
South America 5 is not well balanced, but is very dynamic and cutthroat.
South America 4 is a worse close of the 5-person one. 2vs2 everytime...
Ancient Mediterranean is what standard Diplomacy would have been if it were for 5 people, with more free centers to grab, less people to deal with, less enemies to stop, and more units to play around with... a happier game probably, with two victims less, and a better chance for all participants for a good result.

I do like Ancient Med a lot. Count me in if you're making a game.

i'd like to play the ancient med game. i want to try south america eventually, but don't want too many games no.

so, troodonte and dingle, i'll create the game tomorrow? i have an account, yall will have to make ones

already have one

Just wonder... why isn't Portugal in that map? I'll play under protest :)

i'll join a game on there but it would have to be 8 or less

DJE... you good with a med game?
