Is it just me, or is it dumb that you can retreat into other people's territory?
I know it's the rules of the game and all, but I feel like it would make more sense if you could only retreat into your own territory or neutral territory.

So Long World Diplomacy IX
As some of you may have heard, the flawed World Dip IX map is going away. I made a game if you're interested in taking a final swing at this sucker: http://www.webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=188080

Which is more balanced 1-1?
How are the two 1-1s shaping up in terms of balance? The consensus on AvF seems to be that Austria usually wins. What about IvG? Do we have any stats to suggest which is a more balanced match?

do yall think you should move your Brest fleet as France to the English Channel and therefore be able to get Lon then move to the north sea and get Den so that you can get Kiel and get into the Baltic sea or do yall think you should move it to the MAO and then into south coast of Spain and into west med and Tunisia and tyrrannian sea?
glo2018 (1522 D)
09 Jan 17 UTC
and as France do you think you should bounce in Munich or go for the build in Belgium and what should you do with your fleet in Trieste as Austria, should you just put it in ven and wait for your build or what?
There's a variety of opening possibilities that I use depending upon how I think my opponent will open. Each has its own merits and drawbacks. But I have probably 3 openings for each country that I rotate through.
why are support holds bad? (What you said goldfinger)

Wow, Vash. Glad you're not the Mid-Atlantic teams 1v1 specialist! ;p

Way to show him who's the boss, Gold. haha gameID=188546

They are a waste of tempo. Getting as far away from your home centres as fast as possible is extremely important in these 1v1s.

Precisely. Unless they're used to directly block the enemy's motion (as I did in Venice), they're generally bad. For defensive purposes, taps to cut supports are always much stronger than support holds
glo2018 (1522 D)

so what are your 3 openings that you rotate though goldfinger?

Let the wookie win. At least that's the advice Han Solo gave me.
So, for France I typically either open to 1)Piedmont, Burgundy and EC, 2) Picardy, Burgundy, and EC or 3) Piedmont, Burgundy and MAO

For Austria I tend to go 1) Venice, Tyrolia, Galicia 2) Albania, Tyrolia, Galicia or 3) Albania, Tyrolia, Trieste

This is roughly in order by the success I've had with each
why does a fleet move to venice turn 1 work? it seems like it shouldn't, (it wastes a turn that could be used expanding, wont threaten Marseilles, wont threaten tunis next turn) but somehow it does work and I don't understand why.
If France opens to Piedmont, this ruins the Frenchman.

Also, the only other option for that fleet in 01 is Greece. At the end of 1902, you're talking about a fleet in Naples vs a fleet in Tunis. And it allows your spring 02 fleet build to move naturally to Greece, maximizing the total number of builds you receive and giving yourself the cushion you need to push more armies against France
Also, I find that Austria never has a chance to actually take Tunis anyways. Securing Italy needs to be the goal.

I would love to have all sorts of conversations like this after the Tournament. I completely disagree with Falcon's claim that Austria never has a chance to actually take Tunis.
ghug (5068 D(B))

Austria can take Tunis. I don't think it can realistically be held, though.
Alright, I should have been more specific. Austria very rarely has the chance to take Tunis. A lot of things have to go extremely well to give Austria access. Even if Austria does make it in, France will surely set up to take it back. If not, then France France is a terrible player and you should have had an easy time taking Mun, Ber and Pete anyways, making it a moot point.

Known World 901 quirk:
I'm currently participating in two ongoing games on the new world map. 15 different empires to start, so I should have a 1/15 odds of drawing any empire. I drew the same empire twice in a row... That should be a 1/225 occurrence if the draws were random, or even less if it weights other empires higher after I've drawn that specific empire (to increase variety, which I believe mods have confirmed happens, at least in Classic). Should I play the lottery, or is this a bug?

Separate stats on 1v1 games
The 1v1 games have pretty different dynamics from the other games. Would be interesting to see 1v1 stats separate from the rest. What do people think?
