Alright, I've got another commitment coming up in a few days that's going to be taking me away from the computer, and rather than have another long break and then a long grind to bring things to their inevitable conclusion, I think we might as well call the game here. The game ended up a little less riveting than I had hoped, due to players dropping out and an overwhelming alliance, but still, congratulations to England and France for their victory. Hopefully next game will be a little more interesting. I think I'll wait awhile before opening signups.

Naut · « **Reply #67 on:** September 17, 2010, 04:01:30 AM »

Ah, sounds good then. I really enjoyed this game, even despite the annoying drawish play and people dropping out and not saying anything. Count me in the next one for sure. Have you thought about trying some different rule sets? I tried getting jDip running on my system, and even though it doesn't work (I suspect something to do with 32/64bit garbage), the installer showed me a whole bunch of different modes that were possible and I wouldn't mind giving one of those a try.

Serp · « **Reply #68 on:** September 17, 2010, 04:05:44 AM »

Might want to try a game with fewer players, and I'd be willing to take requests for other maps, too.

Dorian White · « **Reply #69 on:** September 17, 2010, 03:35:43 PM »

I've to say that I'm relay amazed how well my plans turned out, not that they are bad but they usually have the tendencies to "not survive the contact with reality".
Anyway, what do you mean by "a game with fewer players"? A game with "neutral countries" like the 5 and 6 player varieties of the default game, or a game with fewer player like Ancient Mediterranean?

Serp · « **Reply #70 on:** September 17, 2010, 04:02:46 PM »

Either one. I'm leaning more towards having neutral countries on the default map, myself, but if you folks would rather try a completely new map, I'd be fine with that too.

Dorian White · « **Reply #71 on:** September 17, 2010, 06:37:13 PM »

I see, and when do you plan to start the game? Cause I'm toying with the idea to host a game myself and I wonder if there is enough time for it between your games.

We should try Asia or North America. :3

But I'll probably be on board for the next round as well.

Serp · « **Reply #73 on:** September 17, 2010, 11:41:51 PM »

I think I'll be taking a break of at least a few weeks. I don't mind waiting until you're done hosting one of your own.

Naut · « **Reply #74 on:** September 18, 2010, 02:30:19 AM »

I'll pretty much play any variant right now, so if you're planning on hosting a game Dorian, you can count me in.

I didn't find it logical to be able to support attack from the other side of province because Hearts of Iron 2 :X

You were probably still in a winning position, even if Italy had done nothing at all to help your attack.

I haven't decide which variant I use jet, just tried jDip yesterday and Ancient Mediterranean looks promising ...

but the map is broken (Punic Sea is marked as land-zone only? you can't convoy to Crete nor Corsica and Baleares is not an island but a sea zone with CS) and I have no idea how fix that. I also thought Machiavelli would be extremely stylish but I haven't the map nor the rules and since I find myself unable to import other variant we can pretty much forget about it. :ohdear:
Seriously, if jDip continues to proves itself that "usefull" I will go with the default game, set up my board on a table and post photos. :derp:

Wrong game/war, Hearts of Iron 2 is WWII but we played WWI so is Victoria II.

Well, I guess that's always an option.

I could take any map image, open it in GIMP, and just draw arrows and move pieces around that way, too, though it'd be really tedious.

But that has nothing to do with being ignorant with support attack?

Dorian White · « **Reply #81 on:** September 19, 2010, 03:30:36 PM »

Forget what I said cause I've found the perfect variant, who needs a Machiavelli if you can have a Vetinari.^^

Late edit:
Perhaps a new thread is in order for a new game? At least a topic change to notify people that we're looking for more players. I don't know how many non-current players actually look at this topic, so they probably don't know to come in and sign up!
