Opinion on different map colors

I'm interested to know what people think of these colors, which apparently more commonly used on real boards these days:

Retreat Phase Suggestion

I know this has been brought up before, but I don't remember if there was support or not so I'll bring it up again. If a unit is dislodged and has no retreat options can we please change the code so a forced disband is automatic? It's incredibly annoying to wait on somebody to order his forced disband.

Bug?

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=6952

This seems pretty basic, but there's either a bug, or I don't understand the rules? Take a look at the Iberian peninsula. Shouldn't the English attack on Spain cut the support to Mid-Atlantic Ocean?

what do you think?

"Researchers are now working on "soldier bots" which would be able to identify targets, weapons and distinguish between enemy forces like tanks or armed men and soft targets like ambulances or civilians."

Paused Games

My game got paused because Germany got banned. We all said /unpaused but Italy hasn't said it yet, so it hasn't unpaused. Is it just going to stay in limbo forever or what?

Unneccessary orders

I have a suggested addition to the Unneccessary orders topic on the developers' forum.

Giwald (521 )

Saw this one on the developers' forum's todo list... it already suggests not to ask for retreat orders for armies without provinces available to retreat to, and not to ask to build more units than there are home SC's available.

I'd like to add that if a country has 0 SC's left, you needn't ask which unit(s) to destroy. And related to that... if a country in civil disorder has no SC's left and the game is in unit-placing phase, it would be better if it weren't offered for takeover anymore. This actually happened in one of my games last week... a newbie took over Austria to find all he could do was disband the last unit.

Pandarsenic (1485 )

I second that addition; it drives me crazy when I see someone logged in who isn't finalizing the destruction of his last unit, holding up a 36/48-hour phase just to be a dick.

Or better yet, we could add the ability to send in whatever unnecessary orders you want, such as: 'Fleet North Sea laughs in the face of danger', or 'Army Moscow too cold to fight', or even 'Pope dies, Rome gets one pity build'. And if these seem silly, you'll be happy to know that there's actually a variant that supports bizarre orders

I think everyone finds the waiting for a country with 0 supplies left to be rather annoying, especially if you are close to winning a game. Also, if you happen to be the country that has been eliminated, it is rather humiliating having to finalize the retreat and destruction of any units you may have had left before the unit placing phase. Perhaps we could do away with having to submit those orders so that people don't have to wait as long or feel the humiliation of defeat quite so acutely.

Invictus (240 )

Either way. I kind of like declaring myself to now be Iceland of Finland or West Carthage, but I do find it annoying when other people who've been eliminated stall for no reason.

philcore (317 )
04 Dec 08 UTC

you mean like even posting to the global press "Good game boys" yet still not finalizing a hold order with no SCs? Yeah I found (ahem, I mean find - like in general, not a specific game that I happen to be in now or anything) that a little annoying as well.

figlesquidge (2131 )

I could have sworn that a nation with 0 SC's is marked as dead at the end of Autumn retreats anyway?
You can't block retreats because they might retreat onto an SC, and thus take it. Moreover, even if they cannot retreat into an SC they may move to an unoccupied territory, and in doing so block someone else's retreat.
So, whilst the script could be improved, it would be quite complicated to make sure none of this occurred!

Centurian (3257 )
04 Dec 08 UTC

Nope figle. In fact, if someone reaches 18 by taking your last centre you get a survive because the game ends before you can disband the unit. That by itself is a travesty.

philcore (317 )
04 Dec 08 UTC

right - they still have to destroy that last SC during Unit Placement phase. Which is a little mean and I can see why people just bail on it. But to post in the Global press "good game" and then STILL not do it? GRRRRRRR

Games don't draw while paused?

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=6969
The game got screwed up because of a failed attempt to pause (which later passed); we then voted to draw and were told the draw would come into effect in 5 minutes, but it hasn't happened and our best guess is that that the game can't be drawn while paused.

(a) that seems wrong. If we've voted to draw, then it should come into effect regardless of a pause. (b) can we get the game ended?

GFDT needs your help!

A player has had to drop out of the tournament in the early years of round 1. Is there any soul out there willing to take up his mantle and carry on the struggle for him?

Links to the games will be in the first post. If you're willing to take up these positions, drop me a line at [email protected] ASAP. It'd be a pity to play a tournament game with a CD.
