Re: The Lepanto: A problem for Germany?

Biggest mistake for Italy in any version - regular, gunboat, and especially bots is to to attack austria. immediate death for italy along with austria That is an interesting view. I think that while this is not Italy's best strategy, Italy attacking Austria is alright. When Italy attacks, they usua...

Re: The Lepanto: A problem for Germany?

These are all good points. I think that overall, Germany's southern front is stable: When Russia is weak, Germany has no eastern worries; the western side with France is by this point dealt with*; and it is VERY hard to break into Germany from the southern side when it is safe on the west and east. ...

Re: What is the best country in bot games?

any country other than austria :-) especially as the bot creators did;nt really understand the game of diplomacy and strangely programmed italy to attack austria 90% of the time which is unlike any format of real diplomacy It's a lot, but (as I think I've said before) it's not as much as you think ...

Re: What is the best country in bot games?

Probably because most Lepantos only succeed if Turkey doesn't build a fleet, which it is optimal to do if you see a Lepanto (and therefore bots assume Turkey probably will). Wait is a Lepanto when Italy convoys to Tunisia, then convoys to Syria to conquer Turkey? That's the plan. However, experienc...

Re: What is the best country in bot games?

Austria has less of a chance in bots games than in any other format of game as developers strangely programmed italy to attack austria 80-90% of the time (bad strategy for italy most of the time). Too bad developers didn't program bots to learn Italy didn't use to do that until about 10-ish months ...

Re: What is the best country in bot games?

Germany is very easy to start, you can get 5 power centers every time in the first year and sometimes even 6! But often the struggle with the French on the border can make things quite difficult mid-game. Italy can take Turkey without effort early on and go on to win Austria-Hungary. Turkey can be d...
