Caspian Sea in Modern

Question about the Modern variant: can a fleet on the north coast of Iran move into the Caspian Sea? The original variant description states that the Rostov canal is the *only* way to get a fleet into the Caspian Sea. But I find it rather odd that a fleet on the Iran north coast would not be allowed...

Re: Leaving games before start?

The easiest way may be to change your preference (back) to drop down interface. You can do this in Account -> Settings. That gives you the old interface, from which you can leave the game.

If you want, you can go back to set the point and click interface back to default afterwards.

Re: My first Italian win, looking for tips on how to improve.

I discovered a peculiar way to win as Italy against bots. I start with Rom-Apu, Ven-Tus, Nap-Ion, then convoy to Tun, build a fleet and patiently wait for the Lepanto to succeed. All this time, A Tus is sleeping and enjoying the local wine and food :) This is what it does - France almost never comes...

Re: Refusal to let me me build bug

Exactly the same in my Modern II game. However, it appears to work again, I can now build in all of my open SCs.

Re: Defaulting to point and click UI for non-variants

Not sure if it has to do with this, but there is a bug: in a Modern game I’m playing, I have two builds and sufficient open SCs, yet it doesn’t allow me to build anywhere (essentially showing the ‘red’ drop down, similar to having a dislodged unit without a valid retreat).

Re: filling empty slots

Yes, but only in gunboat (no press) games, and only if you ticked that box when you create the game. I don’t think you can add that option afterwards.

Re: play.webdiplomacy.com game pages not rendering

I can see the game just fine. It shows F1919M, 15 units for France and Turkey and 2 for Italy. Hopefully it’ll work soon again in your end.

How do you launch a game with bots and people mixed?
If you create a game without press (gunboat), a tick box will appear in which you can indicate whether your allow empty slots to be filled by bots.

Re: AI performance

I'm not sure how I missed this post, but I'm happy to provide some feedback on the new Fairbot. It's not broken, first of all. In fact, it's response time is quite a bit faster. The old Fairbot would often take 10-15 minutes to enter orders in the mid-to-late game stages. The new Fairbot enters ord...

Re: Fairbot vs FB

I can confirm these observations. I’ve only scored a handful of wins against the previous bot (not for lack of trying, it took me over 50 attempts to beat it for the first time :). Now, I routinely beat the bot both as France and Austria. Not sure what’s worse, the sheer frustration of playing again...

Re: Question about rules

Two questions about rules I can’t work out: 1) Suppose, I move with support to Port from Spain NS. Spain is empty afterwards. Can Portugal retreat to Spain SC? 2) Unit X supports Unit Y to hold. Is the hold support effective if Unit Y supports and / or Conveys Unit Z? If unit Y gets attacked, does ...

This is awesome, congratulations Meta team, and WebDip as well.

I played in one of the blitz press games and I had no idea. By the way, FWIW, I happen to be a scientist and the Science journal is among the very top ranked ones.

Yes, very annoying, especially in variants that I don’t play that often. I hope this can be fixed soon.
