Suicidal Texan found!

Thanks, I read those rules, but that doesn't really answer the question about how you should handle it in the game - i.e. should you tell all players globally? Only your allies? No-one?

Hi all,

Suicidal Texan required to take over the position in this game:

Not really the best situation, so really asking if anyone fancies doing us a favour to keep the game moving, let me know and I'll send the password.

Cheers...

Hi all, What are the conventions (if any) over account sitting, and specifically whether the other players in the game should be informed? In my specific situation, I may be losing internet access for quite a while, and require someone to take over my current game, possibly to conclusion. It would s...

Recently started playing again after a six-year hiatus, somehow forgot everything I once knew, put in some horrific performances in my first games back, Ghost Rating plummeted out of sight, hopefully in the process of repairing it now!

Hi all, We're looking for one or two players to.fill a game on the American variant map, one-day phases, anonymous, full press, hopefully a reliable, friendly and chatty game. Many of us have little or no experience of this map variant. The players are a mix of relative newcomers up to middling expe...

Any takers?

Three spots left to fill, game starts in just over an hour...

Hi all,

This is probably going to be a silly question, but I'll ask it anyway:

For pause vote to be effective, presumably it only needs all the remaining active players to do it? Not all seven players (including those already eliminated)?

Actually I suppose this is the same for all vote buttons?

Live (5-minute phase) gunboat game, unranked, hopefully all humans (but bots will make up any empty spots), starts at 7.20pm UTC today.

Thanks!

Great, thanks for the explanations.

What is the maximum phase length for it to be "live", and what is "normal"?

Hi all, I've noticed that some games are set to start at a specific time, even once they're full, but I can't see the setting for how to do this when you're creating a game? Likewise, is there a setting to fill empty spaces in the game with bots when it starts, that I also can't find? I was trying t...

My next attempt (against the same opponent) went much better!

I still made a few mistakes (any suggestions welcome!) but I had a much better idea of objectives and areas to focus on.

Also, it's an anonymous game with full press.

I agree there are some possible downsides to playing multiple games with the same players, but I don't think they'll arise, and everyone plays each game as a one-off.

Thanks for your replies - we've now filled the game. I should have explained better. Five of the six currently in the game played in a previous game together, and some of those had played in a game prior to that too. I was getting a bit fed up of playing games with variable quality and reliability, ...

Hi all,

We need one player to make up seven in a standard, anonymous, 1-day phase Classic game. The six of us are fairly experienced, reliable, chaty players and we'd like a seventh person the same - drop me a PM if you'd be interested in joining.

Cheers...

Big help everyone, thank you!

This is great advice, thanks so much for the responses. I'd been struggling to work out how to play France well but I'm starting to get there. Definitely too many fleets (and no armies) down south. The fleets all got bogged down and I put up little resistance on the Italian mainland. Interesting abo...

Interesting!

I'd like to hear more about the algorithm too...

Hello all. Is country selection in any given game completely random? I've recently played seven Classic games and been each of the countries once, which seems pretty unlikely, so I was wondering if there was some kind of assisted randomness or weighting to it? Same seems to apply with 1v1 games with...
