Social Classes
Are social classes good? And I don't this turning to political discussion, I just want to know whether a concentration of wealth in a select few is good for society as a whole. Have we simply never seen social classes in an unabused system?

Thoughts on Modern Diplomacy II?
Hello, I'm returning to WebDipWorld after an absence of several years. I am interested to know what the community thinks of this Modern Dip II variant. Is it enjoyable? Fairly balanced? (I don't expect perfection from a variant . . . )

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Building in occupied center that is simultaneously disband
Can you build in a home territory occupied by another country's unit IF simultaneously during that build phase the occupying unit disbands?

You can only build in a home territory that you control. So by definition if it was controlled by another country you can't build there even if it isn't occupied for any reason.

This is an impossible scenario. The only way that an enemy unit can be located in one of your home centers and be disbanded is during builds phase. This *requires* that the unit occupy the center during the fall phase, which means the enemy unit controls your home center by virtue of occupying it during the fall phase. Even if the unit disbands, the other country still controls that center. You do not own it, therefore you can't build there.

Yes. Even if you disband during the retreats due to a dislodge, you still wouldn't get a build.

Italy takes Munich in the spring. Germany retakes Munich, forcing a retreat. Italy opts to destroy the army instead of retreating to, say, Tyrolia.

Germany might get a build out of the deal if someone else controlled Munich earlier. However, because Germany has now occupied Munich, the build wouldn't go there.

Indeed, centers are taken in fall - after the fall retreat, if any - and you can't build in centers you don't own.

Taking an enemy home SC means they can't build there for at peast two winters, as during the fall turn where they retake the SC it will be occupied by the unit which retakes it.

chluke: I actually find your question rather interesting.

The rules on pages 18–19 are pretty clear: calculations of which Great Power owns which supply center are made after the retreats phase (incorrectly before the retreats phase on webDiplomacy), and leaving a supply center empty does not change ownership. So a Great Power can capture one of your home supply centers in a Fall phase and then disband the unit which occupied this supply center. Since adjustments were made at the end of the retreats phase, this great power would still enter the builds/disbands phase with ownership of your home supply center, impeding you from building in it. You can find the rules here:

But this 'issue' you bring up could trip up an adjudicator. Of course Lucas Kruijswijk caught this:

The Religious State
Having seen many opinions on this forum, I am wondering about the acceptability of a religious state. Should a state be able to be primarily Muslim, Jewish, or Christian (etc.)? Is this acceptable in the modern world? If so, how far can this theocracy of sorts go? May they make laws based upon the respective religion? How far reaching should these laws be?

Please discuss, and remain amicable.
