Diplomacy Resources

#1 Post by jmo1121109 » Wed Dec 20, 2017 7:28 pm

Hello everyone,

Please use this thread to post your best Diplomacy Resources. Links to strategies, video analysis of games, wiki's about the game or anything others may find useful. Every once in a while we will move all the resources into this main post to make this easy to read.

Resources from WebDip:

(information on tournaments and the site hosting the Ghost Ratings)

And an Excel spreadsheet that goes with that analysis: https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?cid ... 175D9F!169

(You can turn it into a sandbox when using a computer. To clear the map and build your own scenario, click the "Clear board" hyperlink under "Other:" and then drag and drop the units from the white box to wherever you want them. To come back to a scenario you've created, copy the Permalink to the right of the board.)

jmo1121109: Also, the "Repository of End Of Game discussions" link in your post is broken.

I also think that you should move the "Repository of End Of Game discussions" and "Swordsman's Journal (part 1)" up to the "Resources from WebDip" section.

A few hyperlinks that I had suggested for the External Resources should be updated:

Diplomacy rules (good copy of the rules):
https://web.archive.org/web/20200221110 ... Regles.php

The Diplomatic Pouch (the website is alive and well, but moved):
http://uk.diplom.org/pouch/

The Library of Diplomacy Openings (from The Diplomatic Pouch):
http://uk.diplom.org/pouch/Online/Openings/

Visual Index to Stalemate Positions (from The Diplomatic Pouch):
http://uk.diplom.org/pouch/Online/Stale ... visual.htm

Also, the webDip tournaments website has apparently moved here:
