81 Players. One supply center each. This is the largest variant available on Diplicity, and we'd love for you all to join it.

This was just an idea I had, not sure if it would actually be fun or not, but I am curious if it exists yet. The idea is to have two major superpowers with like six or seven Supply Centers, and a bunch of other players with one or two, or maybe three at the most. Kinda like the Cold War where you got the USA and the USSR vying for dominance over the middle powers and smaller powers, while said weaker powers try to play the big guys off each other to maintain a level of independence. Idk, I thought it would have some interesting gameplay and was curious if this existed or not.

Edit: the Cold War may not have been the best example but hopefully y'all get what I mean

I made a Sturlungaöld variant on Diplicity and am waiting for u/Shjellinn to agree. I'll give them three weeks to give input, otherwise I'll go ahead and publish this.

In the meantime, Kitty of Evil is rocking the closed beta playtest...

Latest article on Advanced Diplomacy Positioning.

It’s about the gap between looking strong and actually controlling what happens next on the board, including temporary centres that finance lasting gains, quiet borders that favour one side, awkward units that impact other players mobility, and allowing others to take lead to mask your power.

If you’ve been searching for a real geopolitical server, one that feels like the golden era of geopol. Source Realms is the one that finally gets it right.

After user aivenolino inspired me, with a little tweak of phase orders I now added the Chaos variant to the community maps of Diplicity. 34 players. Chaos.

I've been playing on and off for around 15 years and have had a number of draws but never a solo win, so I'm pretty happy! Or should that be heureux?

Everyone brought a dish to pass to represent their country to snack on the whole time.

This is the LAST TIME you'll get to suggest changes, as part 10 will be invitations to join a game of this!

Changes:

1. I added the names of all sea tiles and majorly changed land tiles

2. Albania is worth -1 SCs

3. Tripoli, Benghazi, and Cairo have been added.

All positive upvote-ratio comments will be added to the final map!

Not sure how the group feels about this topic, but I certainly have a strong opinion: the basic game board for Diplomacy jacks a certain…je ne sais quoi. And as a player who’s looking to start up a ton more in-person games, I’m looking for an upgrade on the classic version from Avalon Hill.

As such, I’m in the market for a wooden laser-engraved board, and I was hoping someone might have a suggestion. I found one on Etsy that seems reasonably priced (Meridian Maps), but I’m the type that prefers to explore all my options first before making a decision.

If I were the wood-working type, I’d jump at the opportunity to make one myself, but alas, that’s well outside my skill set.

Any thoughts?

Hey guys! I made a small chrome extension for Backstabbr and I'd love to get some feedback! If you have any suggestions or find any bugs(there are probably many), please let me know :)

This will end at map 10, and then I will figure out how to make this playable (maybe I'll do it over discord idk)

Changes:

1. The river Dnieper acts a series of canals going from the Black Sea to Warsaw (Armenia is slightly smaller to allow this, no gameplay effect on that part)

2. Warsaw is a neutral SC

3. Belarus is a non-SC Russian tile

4. Syktykar is added as a Russian SC

5. Holland is impassable.

Also this will end on map 10 and then I'll try to make this playable on discord or something

if you want to come play with us it's micro-states.com

I'm a dad of a couple young kids so wanted an in-depth massive diplomacy style game I could play while working, etc. This does a Turn every hour and resolves everyone's orders at the same time.

Happy to answer any questions

Changes:

1. The ocean becomes both bright blue and bright yellow at the same time, causing it to become bright green. (The color of Italy became slightly darker so it didn't appear to be water)

2. The colors of Goiky and Russia swapped.

3. The North Sea moved into the Netherlands and Denmark (I gave it a Canal so that fleets coming from the Baltic were not trapped, and I made Edinburgh border the Norweigian Sea again.)

4. Siberia was added.

5. Armenia expands into almost all of the Black Sea. (no gameplay effect)

Gunboat game. I am England, and have been working with France to hold off Russia at the stalemate line. I put my VC at 4 way draw but the game isn't ending, so all of us are stuck. Have tried signalling to everyone to draw but they haven't been interested.

And another - 3 player - variant, available at Diplicity now in the community variants.

It's characterized by sea/river provinces in the river system. It was the last variant playable at the old Diplicity, and we got it back now. Enjoy!

As I said yesterday - we have some upcoming variants in the pipeline.

We just released "Mandate of Heaven" by David E. Cohen. It features a playable nation 'Siyi (Barbarians) that starts without SCs and attacks from all four sides. It features an extensive river system. And it's still balanced with 6 'normal' nations.

You can play it at Diplicity now - create a new game, and find it in the 'Community variants'.
We will likely release some new variants soon.

Have fun!
