How do I open as a diplomacy-heavy country (Austria, France, Italy, etc.) when I can't communicate with the bots?

France - open with a supported attack on Bur, and go into MAO. Honestly as France you're probably fine even if you do get attacked, it's pretty strong defensively.
Italy - throw a support hold on Tri and convoy to Tun if you want to work with austria, the support hold will do the communicating job for you
Austria - cancel and start another if you get attacked by everyone lol

You haven't played any Gunboat game in your history. Gunboat is a variant of Diplomacy. In Gunboat, the players may not communicate with messages. The players may only communicate with their actions - special with orders. Find it out through experience.

My first bot game I randomed into Austria and thought I would be in trouble. I ended up "second"
19 (Germany)
8 (Austria)
4 (Turkey)
Despite the loss I felt pretty gangster. Not so bad for my first gunboat in 100 years and vs bots.
Went on to lose abysmally as France, Russia, and Italy. I guess Austria not so bad after all.
