Announcing Diadokhi II for play-testing!1
Posted: Sun Mar 29, 2020 6:14 pm
Hi everyone!
I have been working on a new variant of Diplomacy for quite some time now. The variant is called Diadokhi II, and the rules are at this link: https://www.docdroid.net/WYvBm9G/diadokhi-ii-rules.docx
and the vdiplomacy game here: https://www.vdiplomacy.com/variants.php?variantID=139
The variant is set during the Wars of the Diadochi - the wars of Alexander the Great's generals fought after his death over his Empire. It uses basic Standard Diplomacy rules, with two variations:
a) Transform rule - as an action, a fleet occupying a coastal province may transform into an army, and vice versa - the action fails if the province is attacked.
b) Winter 322 - The game's first moves take place Spring 321 bce, but in winter 322, there is a build phase (meaning that players may place armies/fleets wherever they want instead of having them pre-placed).
And that's it! Easy to play - and there's a reason I'm posting this.
The variant isn't play-tested yet, which is why I'm looking for volunteer play-testers, to play it on vdiplomacy. Just tell me you're in (pm me or reply to this), and I'll invite you to a game there! This is for me to gather feedback about the game and check that its mechanics work. Hopefully I have many volunteers, and hopefully they all have a ton of fun playing Diadokhi II!
