its not like russo-brittish alliances happen.. right? russia concedes sev to austria by sacrificing a fleet to support them in? Focuses on scandinavia and foreverwar with germany? I guess germany then can just ally france but austria wont like that.. something something cold war in the north and mine- no, mine- no, mine, no mine Italy Turkey overgreece

The only thing more suspicious than one foreign unit supporting Belgium is two foreign units supporting Belgium.

I must’ve watched like 40 hours of your videos since I learned of this channel from the valefisk analysis video and got hooked on diplomacy. I’ve since set up two games with family and friends that are currently in progress. The Imperial variant video and the media wars videos have been my favorite so far. I hope we get to see further sequels to those in particular.

hey diplostrats, a quick video idea I don't think has been done before: It would be interesting to see a full break down on the 1901 situation with Belgium from the perspective of every country on the board. I played a game recently where the eastern/southern powers took a very active role in trying to balance power in the west and attempted to arrange the outcome of the Belgian question. I like the idea of austria, italy, etc having a preferred outcome in who gets Belgium. just a thought. big fan of your videos!
@DiploStrats
3 ай бұрын
I like this idea! Although I think it'd need to be focused on the western powers and *maybe* Russia/Italy. There are some games where the east gets involved in the decision, but I find that much more often they leave it to the west to decide - if you try to impose your will on the other side of the board very early, people can see you as more of a threat, so it doesn't happen as much.

limiting to 08 sounds a bit weird, wouldnt 1910 make more sense? Seen that a lot.
@DiploStrats
3 ай бұрын
1910 is actually a pretty recent thing! It's a bit of a compromise between the European style (07/08 end) and American style (12-15 end, or no fixed end). Euro style games are mainly like that to ensure a lot of rounds can be completed in a shorter timespan, and their scoring systems change a bit accordingly - every SC really matters in qualifiers! I think I prefer longer games for top boards, but these can be super exciting too. Shorter games are more often very close.

In the last championship game you covered, I felt like I was watching the world's top geniuses. Every move they made was clearly brilliant and calculated. Here, I feel like I'm watching a group of aliens. Maybe I just can't comprehend the European mind, but every decision feels like it came out of left field. I don't think the tight game length helped. Instead of allowing top powers to seriously duke it out, everybody was quickly forced to pick a camp to throw their centers to as quickly as possible. The game was decided by 1904.
@DiploStrats

I think it definitely changed the dynamic a ton. There's always going to be a bit of a tug of war between trying to keep the leader down and trying to boost your own SC count, and I think in longer games that's a bit easier to handle, because you know you've got time to grow later - in an 08 game, if you focus the leader, are you sacrificing your own shot at victory because you've given up growth to do it? I think that calculation can sometimes lead to more confusing decisions (and less back-and-forth games). I do enjoy 08 games myself, but I do think this game was an example of one that would probably have been better with a longer time limit. Although huge respect to second place here for managing to make it as close as it was!

I didn't explain this well in the video, but countback only affects the powers tied for the win. So if Russia is involved in the draw they'll win - but there can still be a tie all the way back to start if it's between other powers.
