25 Oct 23 UTC | Spring, 1960: Sup Mr. USSR! Can’t wait to kick your butt |
28 Oct 23 UTC | Spring, 1960: I have never played this map. I REALLY hate that it picked the wrong one for me. |
28 Oct 23 UTC | Autumn, 1960: Yeah, this map is like 1% in favor of the US |
29 Oct 23 UTC | Autumn, 1960: No I just mean I don't wanna be a commie lol |
29 Oct 23 UTC | Autumn, 1960: No I just mean I don't wanna be a commie lol |
29 Oct 23 UTC | Spring, 1961: Oh. Lol but this map is very slightly in favor of the US |
29 Oct 23 UTC | Autumn, 1961: I'm tempted to try to make my own map of the cold war. If you did the whole Earth, I'd say that NATO/US would be on the advantage simply cause the western nations were more spread out like in S. Africa and Australia along with N America and W Europe. All the Commie nations were pretty much Asia and then some weird outliers in S America and Africa. |
29 Oct 23 UTC | Autumn, 1961: Also you'll see that as much as I love Diplomacy, I'm terrible. |
29 Oct 23 UTC | Autumn, 1961: Same, honestly. I have more fun playing than I do winning. I have thought about making a two player full world map, though not a cold war map. Lmk if you do lol. |
29 Oct 23 UTC | Spring, 1962: Yeah pretty much if Russia doesn’t immediately pressure Brazil then USA most of the time wins. But S.E. Asia to Bangladesh is a move I rarely see. Great move. |
29 Oct 23 UTC | Spring, 1962: Good to know for future games. I figued from analysis that Europe was the big concern for USSR short term, and The US Needed to pressure Asia ASAP. |
29 Oct 23 UTC | Autumn, 1962: What's the victory condition? How many centers? |
29 Oct 23 UTC | Autumn, 1962: Its 17. Damn. Sea of Japan to Bering really screwed up my plan |
29 Oct 23 UTC | So I see this match really going your way long term. It also really looks like we could have just had split world with no conflict over it had we had borders. Like in a alternative history sort of way. At the least, this map is freaking out my perception of Earth. |
29 Oct 23 UTC | Yeah it’s really wonky |
29 Oct 23 UTC | Good game my Soviet competitor. Well played |
29 Oct 23 UTC | You too. Have a good one. Nice chatting with you |
29 Oct 23 UTC | Thanks |
