Hidden WebDiplomacy Site is found!
So apparently there has been a Webdiplomacy site with 30 different variants, that's right 30! It has many maps that are just bizarre but at the same time look amusing. There is one called 'Chaos' that has the classical Diplomacy map but there are 34 countries on it that only have one supply center each! Another one is a variant of the classic map that has the ability to build on any supply center not just the home supply centers!

-->Tactics/Diplomacy: Balanced

Hello magnificent people! (always a good start if you're after a favour),
As I mentioned a few weeks ago Ghost & I decided to make a variant, and its finished. The map could do with a bit of neatening out (and we haven't coded in a largemap yet) but as far as gameplay goes we think its ready, and would be really grateful if we could get some testers over.
We discussed it with a few senior people from here during development, and we are confident that it is quite well balanced (certainly better than the world map).
So yes, please would some of you go play it at OliDip for us.
The only thing to add to that is that if you find something particularly interesting or bad about the map (eg an imbalance) we would prefer you tell us directly rather than to other players, as this way hopefully it won't affect the other games going on.
Having said that, we will not be changing any games during play without their players agreement, so you can be confident that the game won't change on you as I know happened with the World Variant when reduced.

As hinted above, sorry that visually its still a bit messy - things like fine-tuning text position are coming, but given how long diplomacy games tend to take now that the actual framework has been set up I really wanted to get the word out there and get some results coming in.
Are Kreiasth, Quok and Lik water province islands? Or is it a colorblind issue?
Never mind. Its a colorblind issue according to my wife. Whatever 'country' that contains those provinces looks like it drowned in a tsunami.

You'll have to copy the whole link.
LOL. No, the colors are not well suited for a colorblind person.
Very interesting. I just realized (correct me if I'm wrong) that the colors used for this are the same colors as the classic game. The difference? I know the map of Europe, so I don't have trouble distinguishing between Irish Sea and Liverpool, knowing one is land and one is a sea province.

With an unknown map, I am unable to play due to this problem.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

This might actually be a very good opportunity to pick colors that color blind people can see...
Its funny. I saw someone complain about England and the water provinces looking too similar about 6 months ago and I thought they were nuts. I guess its because I've been playing Diplomacy for 25 years that I know where England should be, and where the water provinces are.

The problem is that not everyone has the same issues, but I would guess that there are probably some better colors.

(This is also the reason I have never played a global press game);.

I have never even heard of this OliDip website. I am too far out of the loop.

i gather the black arrows on the map are landbridges similar to denmark in the original.
this looks very interisting
figlesquidge (2131 D)
02 May 10 UTC
they are bridges yes showing land links.
Also a slight misunderstanding, before it occurs: You can't move a ship straight from passage to Lagoon in one move.
DJ, they are indeed. I have no imagination when it comes to names or colours, but if you want ot move the colours around I can do.
cujo: OliDip is great, best place for webDip variants

I've noticed that the west is nice and packed in with a lot of countries, and then the east is more open. It will be interesting to see if that hurts or helps the yellow country in the east

http://oli.rhoen.de/webdiplomacy/board.php?gameID=884
is one game thats currently starting/ed, but feel free to make another.
All you need to do is sign up on the site & play like you would here.
The software running it is the same, its just a different database with more variants.
Yes Figles, that works better for a starting position. I do worry about what happens when units in the country right above the Alacavre sign merge with the units from the country right below.
figlesquidge (2131 D)
02 May 10 UTC
Right, people playing I'm going to tinker with your colour schemes ... if Dingle will join a game :) Go on DJ, you know you want to!
No, I'm going to have to pass. But thanks for trying.
I will watch it, and once those countries start to merge, I'll let you know how a red/green, green/brown colorblind person sees it.
figlesquidge (2131 D)
02 May 10 UTC
At the moment they're still on the old colours, I'll change them over if/when I'm sure I wont break anything else in doing so

I joined the game but it did not start right away, uncommonly an error was spotted after the game was full.

What happened to that variant you were making back in January airborne :P
Please do start another game (although admittedly it can't actually *start* quite yet as there is an unknown bug in the initialisation script)

Oh no, I feel bad now.
Still, make one of these - you'll feel better as watching me struggle to fix it will remind you how long they take up

figlesquidge (2131 D)

Indeed.
For those in my game I found the problem and I might deal with it, just want to make sure that I don't damage Oli's database - clearly can't risk that.
airborne (154 D)
02 May 10 UTC
I'm put whatever I find on my google docs page, still I recommend you clean up the map one day
figlesquidge (2131 D)
02 May 10 UTC
Oh indeed. Feel free to have a go/attack any time you like (serious offer).
To be honest, by the time it came to fitting the last few names (particularly the last few seas) it was late last night and I was far more interested in trying to get the game up and playable.
figlesquidge (2131 D)
02 May 10 UTC
Fixed (luckily Oli edited his own database so i didn't have to)
