    I love this game so much.
    Played it in AP European History class in high school as France. Our class was divided into groups of 3, except my group, which had 2. Most of my friends were Germany, and most of my partner's friends were Britain. Very quickly Germany, France, Russia, and Italy (who we forced to join) formed the Quadruple Alliance to take out Britain. Over the course of the game the Quadruple Alliance slowly wore down Britain and left Austria to die at the hands of the Ottomans. In true European fashion, after the Asian power had weakened Austria, The Quad Alliance stole most of the land. As we approached the final turn, Germany proposed an "intervention" into Russia. This left their western border completely undefended. Iirc, Germany had 6 supply centers, and when the map updated after the last turn, 3 of them became French. My friend who led Germany was so stunned by the betrayal he wouldn't talk to me for a while after that. I told my teacher to give my partner a free A because I didn't let her play the game because she constantly wanted to be friends with Britain and the British tried to use her as a spy.

      Yoo, someone else who played it in AP Euro! My game had the class split into trios for each country, my team got England. After going for Norway first, I was able to convince the others to go for St. Petersburg. Somehow this was unresisted and glorious Albion purple went up over the map. Undefendable, yes, but at the time very satisfying to see. But then I was unable to convince the other two to build fleets, and they insisted on building up the British army instead. Needless to say any chance of further expansion went up in smoke. I have never facepalmed so hard in a board game since.

    Even as the Great Wars of the 1900's reached their peak, Sultan Teddy was suddenly blessed by a divine vision, and immediately departed Istanbul, claiming he was on a holy quest. He left his trusted Grand Visier, Soll, in command of military matters until his curious sabbatical was complete.
    The great Sultan travelled into the remote depths of the mountains, when there discovered the monster he was tasked to slay: a great living storm that swirled and crackled with the force of pure rage incarnate. For entire days and nights, he endured the tempest, battling his way into it's eye, and there supposedly "tore out the heart of the gale". Exactly how this was accomplished remains unknown, for the Sultan never gave any greater detail of his feat, but all agree he returned home to the capital a greatly changed man.
    The masterful resurgence of the Empire in the years that followed was the stuff of legend in its own right. Some claim his Excellency had ascended beyond the realm of mere mortal men; the entire kingdom of Italy, or so the story goes, submitted to his rule simply at his order to do so. With the destruction of Russia, and the collapse of the Northern Allies soon thereafter, all Europe fell at last to the mighty Ottoman Empire, reborn anew amidst the fires of war. And forever after, this incredible triumph would be owed to one man above all: Sultan Teddy, The StormBreaker.

      Hmm, but to get a group large enough to make that a factor, there would be enough people in the game to fill a house of parliament. That'd be damn near untenable without a streamlined framework of operation, and it's probably a bad sign if your game requires a constitution to work properly :/

    46:55 The idea of someone playing with an inaccurate map is funny to me. And part of me thinks that if Vale does another video on Diplomacy that he could torture people with that. Like, imagine if Vale (the torturer) is the only person moving the pieces and everyone else is making their turns based on 1 turn old screenshots. It'd probably be incredibly scuffed but it's an amusing thought.

      They could just draw on the image to get the current state with reasonable accuracy. There might be a few miscommunications but I dont expect too many mistakes to happen that way. Wouldnt change the game that much.
      How about "fog of war" instead? I.e. instead of seeing the whole map you only see your tiles and the tiles next to your borders. And you dont see all the orders, instead you only get told the actions that happen in the tiles you can see. Would lead to a lot of "interesting" social dynamics because in order to get a grasp on the state of the game you have to trust other nations to relay their information to you.

Each turn flip a coin to see who controls the nation this turn (or just swap each turn) including the "diplomacy (scheming) and play the game as usual.

    If Valefisk is a fan of the multiplayer boardgame format of simultaneous turn resolution, deliberately constrained resources and moves, secret alliances being necessary but betrayal being inevitable due to a sole winner - I think he'd be a fan of the Solium Infernum remake when it launches.
    It's a hex-based simultaneous strategy game set in a Paradise Lost inspired hell, one that is both intensely bureaucratic and prone to horrible violence and treachery. Eg you can't just go to war on your own, you need to manufacture a causus belli as an excuse to start a parliament-sanctioned vendetta. Sometimes your turn log can even lie to you if someone has specced into the deceit power set.
    You unfortunately can't get the original anymore - but the full 3D remake is launching sometime next year.
