I’m so sorry but you butchered every power name except Northumbria and Wessex and Ireland and Alba. Gwynedd is pronounced Gwyneth (th as in the) Jorvik is pronounced Yorvik Mercia is pronounced Mer see uh. Sorry But it pained me.

Very interesting to hear y'all's commentary on this game, especially with A2 just about to kickoff. Looking forward to a possible future commentary for the next iteration of this variant.

"Buff Chile isn't real!It cannot hurt you" Buff Chile

It would have been a roll of a game, if you hadn't missed that damn build. With all of the West, Egypt and Greece would have to pivot towards you in unison to stand a chance. Meanwhile Persia would most likely be a thorn at their side, due to the aggressive opening Egypt did against it(well both empires essentially)

Message forwarding is okay cuz it can be faked, screenshoting conversations is scummy tho

Posted a new map on the discord called “The Empire and the 13 Kingdoms”. It’s got some influence from the 1936 map where the empire acts like the 12-17th century Holy Roman Empire in theory.

As a colonial you cant fight any other colonial as it leaves up weakness at so many fronts. It possible you need to trade centers with other colonials so everyone has their area of influence

Portugal in history fought many different wars. This game no different. You need to fight one opponent at one time, or you lose.

the regionals should always work together to kick out the colonials. or else.

Great video covering the first four years of this long game! Curious to see how long the coming video(s?) will be!

Imperial Rocks! Gg.

Haha I was the end of game Poland. Glad we had about 2 years not being worst enemies.

Thanks for playing! Match was a bit of the pain in the ass, but I had fun never managing to cooperate with you once. It was an honor to play with you 🫡.

I was looking at this guide again due to my first French game starting. I basically won by taking all of Italy and Turkey. England my longest ally owned Portugal, Bel and Hol, and Scandinavia. I basically only won because England waited until the last possible moment to attack me and built nothing but fleets.

LETS GO

The one issue that I have with this opening that you didn't mention is that if England makes a standard opening (ie - nwg and nth) then they're in position to support a convoy to Norway and because of your army in St Pete are more or less obligated to do that. This means that if they had been planning on focusing more on the continent and trying to, say, convoy to Belgium instead, you're denying them that option, essentially forcing England to put all of their units focused on Scandinavia and therefore fighting you. I agree that it can still work if you have Germany on side, but it essentially requires it, since now England is committing its units against you and is likely to offer Germany whatever it can to bounce you in Sweden.

Happy stabbing

Franco-German alliance or as I call it, a deal with the Devil for Germany. You think you got set, but the Devil will still claim his due later down the line!

Been a Dip player since the 1970s, pbm (play by mail, postal). Dropped out of hobby 20ys plus, now trying to get bck in...

I got into Diplomacy during your recent break, and watching through your back catalog has been an incredibly fun and useful experience. I credit a lot of my current obsession and rate of improvement to you.

I absolutely enjoy the alligator pick accompanied by the intro as a Floridaman. The implication that the alligator is the Floridaman doesn't escape me!

This is good stuff, I really enjoyed getting a different viewpoint after watching the Bornu perspective. I enjoyed your dynamics with Mr. Poland. It would be awesome if you could get a colonial perspective (a big one versus Poland's comparatively modest overseas investment), or the Inuit. Having a more navally based perspective, that really emphasizes the differences in sea-lanes here compared to many diplo games would be great! Also, just as a suggestion for the "like and subscribe" segment in the middle, I would suggest you make it a more mock "announcer" style bit, lean into it a bit more, "Hello, this is your regularly scheduled broadcast from the Florida-Man Ministry of Propaganda, reminding you to do your civic duty by SMASHING that Subscribe button! Compliance is mandatory." or something along those lines. Keep up the good work!

Not the fly jumpscare

Being a corner power with the ability to poke your nose into other people's business. Russia truly gets the benefits of both central and corner powers!

More information for thought, planning and ploting...what version is this one?

Been a while, but I have a new map with the cat an diplomacy rules

I know this incredibly late but I think you have triggered a response from greece by moving your army to illyria.

This variant, I am extremely interested in playing in the next year, but where?

Great video, I have subscribed.

Good thing you're back, don't know how you do it but your diplomacy narration is the only one that doesn't make me sleep in 30 seconds

Florida maaan!

You're the Poland?

I've been missing this content.

I've missed this channel, happy to see it's back

Nice, world maps always make for the most chaotic games

7:42 That was my game of russia recently ;(
