World Diplomacy map, impossible move?
http://www.webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=167007
Autumn 2004 Russia F Ukr - Pol ???
How is it possible for a fleet to move from the Ukraine to Poland over land?There is no mention of any water way in the map variant or elswhere. Impossible move in my opinion. It would seem you are now allowed to move fleets from the black sea to the baltic???

This is so good, gents. Love the interviews - I really like this style. It'd be great to see these done for SoW games etc, too.

Also, to anyone watching - make sure you watch to the end.

I complained about you a lot too; some jerk cut it out.

@Abge: Why not start with the previous/recent SoWs? They might still be fresh enough in people's minds to be able to provide interview content.

I'm also interested in general player interviews - it would be really interesting to hear top players interviewed about what makes a good Diplomacy player, and having them share their war stories.

I'm very glad people enjoy this format; I suspect we'll continue using it in the future. It does result, though, in a lot of content that doesn't make it to the final cut. I've uploaded a second video that contains unabridged analysis from Valis and CSteinhardt for those who are interested in a more in-depth analysis.

Due to the fact that I'm mostly sleeping at school this week to get things done and CS and Abge are actual adults, we're pretty maxed out at 1 a week at most right now I'd say, but I can't speak for the PR Team, just me.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

The new video is just the full commentary of Valis and CS, so there is some overlap.

Our goal is one video a week. More than that will impact quality and prevent us from working on any other projects.

Cool! Interesting advice Valis. So you're saying it would have been better if I was more aggressive with taking the Austrian centers from Italy?
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
27 Sep 15 UTC
Yeah. It's fine to kill Austria with Italy, but Italy got all of Austria and all of Balkans. That's not a fair trade even if you get all of Turkey's home centers. The way you moved and built seemed to be paradoxical where it was just enough to help Austria die, but not enough to actually get any of the dots.

Newbie Question
Hello, me and some office mates have just discovered this massively awesome game but we're quite intimidated by the level of skill that people have.

Is it possible to create a game with less than a full team of players, such as 5 man in the regular map. Or playing 10 man in the world map that says 17 players?
