Interesting, rarely used setting (early 20th Century)

Good mix of strategy and management gameplay, but with simple rules

Semi-freeform diplomacy (and backstabbings!)

All of the above

I'm just forum game addict and gotta play'em all

[Glowcat]

You're the darker red nation. Not the Khanate.

[Aseaheru]

I KNOW.

Allright? I know. I have allready stated that I had a frickin typo.

[mastahcheese]

Asea, we're not the same country anymore

[Haspen]

Asea, we're not the same country anymore

Must be nostalgia

[Parsely]

I still haven't read how to play the game!

Anyway, with it seeming quite likely that I'm going to be killed immediately due to a turn 1 attack which I could not anticipate*, has anyone considered running a game like this with simultaneous turns?

*That Peninsula is very annoying to defend. I mean, it's farther from me than from Guniland.

[mastahcheese]

I've considered making turn based strategies with simultaneous turns, but not a game specifically like this, mostly because I have a habit of overcomplicating things.
(For example, I would want units to have stats, have multiple units types, that sort of thing.)

[Playergamer]

PTW.

[Parsely]

You should.

You missed the research agreement I have with Empire of the Mother in your spoiler thing. Also, when it comes to mine at least you've made this mistake, but alliances shouldn't count as 1 out of 4.

A nation can have only 4 Research/Trade treaties.

But I'm sure you already knew that it's probably just a typing error.

[10ebbor10]

I added the research treaty to the overall count, but apparently forgot to list it there.

Edit: On a side note, what rules are actually used for initial territory placement. Because Catan, Khan and I all got some seriously silly shapes.

Uuuuh, to ensure that all nations have continuous shapes and none has at least 1 player neighbour plus some boundaries to lean against.

Except Northern Union. Toaster picked wrong number and is all alone up there

[10ebbor10]

Toaster is not as far out as you imply. He's 8 provinces away from my capital, and a mere 7 away from Catan.

If you'd given me 4,7, 48 and 47 instead of 8, 11,12,13. And given Catan 49, 50, 51 instead of 7,47 and 29. And given Toaster 50, 98 instead of 93 and 92, you would have connected Toaster to another Human player, without any problems whatsoever, and with much more sensible looking countries.

Because now you have silly countries being 1 province thick, and countries that take 2 turns to cross even with railroads everywhere.

[Haspen]

But wouldn't NPC kingdom then have some disconnected provinces between Guniland, Catan and yours? v:

[Parsely]

Uh, that's actually pretty far away?

And what about my country? If you took away some of my southern provinces and shifted them where yours were my capital would likely border Arcadia.

You would cut off Radman's provinces.

Again, Radman's provinces would be cut off and you'd have to pick that up elsewhere. I don't think you appreciate how much time it probably took Haspen to get all the countries looking the way they are now without breaking any rules.
