Italy and France have more Home centers than Germany? Dont think that is going to jive, unless there is a LOT of Neut centers near Germany, that only they can get to first.

Denmark, Holland, belgium (perhaps several provinces in each, not sure what your map looks like ) Poland, Czech, etc....

They need to get their SC count up really fast, as they occupy 1) a very central location, so they will attract a LOT of attention.

China had almost no fleet to speak of in WW2, so may want to go more land based, and their economy was rather weak then, so maybe make some areas 'neutral' in there, since China itself, before WW2, was not really one country.

For example, maybe Communist Chinese forces (they had a mountain stronghold in the Northwest part of the country) could have some forces, and be controlled by maybe be controlled by someone for real.

Just throwing some stuff out there, not trying to bust it down on ya

There's already a very good WW2 variant, and another in the works, but they're over at vdiplomacy. None are global though... here's the one I play a lot:

Here is an updated version:

Powers:
Commonwealth Forces (British Empire + Commonwealth Nations like Australia, Canada, South Africa...)
French Empire
Italian Empire
Japanese Empire
Nazi Germany
USSR
USA

All Sc's are the same except for the fact that the Commonwealth Forces gain a SC in Cape Town (fleet), lose a SC from Vancouver and gain one in Hong Kong (fleet). France's supply center in Phnom Phen is replaced with one in Hanoi, giving it access to China. However, Beijing and Fuchan have standing units (armies) that are dislodged with support.

China's supply centers are neutral and accessible from the Soviet Union, Japan and Britain,

Turkey will be added into the mix to counter the Soviet presence:
Turkey:
F Ankara
A Constantinople
F Smyrna
F Izmir
A Adana

They only have 5 SC's, but they can directly compete in several areas, allowing for development.

Also, Germany has the following home SC's:
Nazi Germany:
F Kiel
F Berlin
F Wilhelmshaven (which means that Kiel only borders the Baltic, while Wilhelmshaven borders the Heligoland Bight)
A Cologne
A Munich
A Vienna
A Dresden
A Prague
A Konigsburg

Neutral SC's in Europe as are follows:
Spain
Portugal
Iceland
Belgium
Holland
Denmark
Norway
Sweden
Estonia
Latvia
Hungary
Serbia
Croatia
Romania
Bulgaria
Greece
Crete
Danzig
Krakow
Pinsk
Warsaw

TIME FOR REVOLUTION!
I heard from a very reliable source that the government gives black women $400 a week? That is, and I quote, "$28,000 a year, better than minimum wage, just for being women and black."
Now, I know krellin is on my side for the revolution to take down all women, but when injustice like this is being taunted in our faces, I feel obliged to take action! WHO'S WITH ME?

Unread Mail in Gunboat games
I've had it happen before (in completed games) that the unread mail icon has shown up in one of my gunboat games. What's that all about? Moderator messages? Naturally, one can't read these in a gunboat game, since there's no global tab.

First place units, than give orders
I was thinking, whether is it possible to make pregame for build. Players would choose what type of unit they want to build: land or fleet. For instance. Austria would be able to place 3 land units. It might be interesting, because placing the units may indicate the intentions of players...or not. Of not as an constans variant than an option in advanced settings.

Testing semck's theory
Hey THUCY you know blacks were NEVER enslaved? They're not even from Africa, you dolt. Why else would we call them African AMERICANS? And don't even get me started on black WOMEN, easily the most privilege citizens in the country. You know the government gives them $400 a WEEK? That's $28,000 a YEAR, better than minimum wage, just for being WOMEN and BLACK. You pitiable FOOL. I feel bad for you, son, believing these diluted liberal LIES.

After the next pope is elected, he will choose a papal name. Of the names used in the last two hundred years, these are most likely to be used by Benedict XVI's successor.

What's your favorite country to play as? Alliances to form?
Of course, the map is quite unbalanced, but I just wanted to see. World strategies are much more complicated than Europe.

I'll start: favorites are Russia and Argentina. Favorite alliance, Russia-Near East or Libya- Near East

SAVE, NOW CLICK ON NOT READY
Does anyone else feel the frustration I have when players do not press the NOT READY icon after pressing SAVE, I can understand if they need the full time if they are busy with other things, THAT'S LIFE, but when everyone else's orders are in showing a GREEN TICK, why needlessly hold the war up and its worse on builds and retreats, for those out there that do this, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, time to WAKE UP!

diplomacy for idiots
The purpose of this game is to open in the most ridiculous way possible. In the Spring of 1901, you must have a crazy and idiotic move. Anyone who opens with a "real" opening will be ganged up on and beaten, followed by a six way draw. P.M. me if interested, and I will give you the password and Game I.D.

"Small" map ideas
Has anyone made a successful map of a very small area, for example a city or a building? Was wondering if a variant would be possible of New York City for example, or even smaller like a hospital complex (hostage scenario type thing where the hostages are supply centres.)
