Whoah...

Hey fellers... Do you feel like playing on the 20th Century map that Reschke dug up? For a goof? A change of pace?

Could be a nice change from the Austria-always-gets-crushed-watch-the-Turkey/Russia-Alliance-and-NEVAR-trust-banana ()-game we know so well.

LOL Nash!

I'll see if I can find some text on using the 20th century map, but ultimately we'll play on whatever map the players agree to.

Personally, there's a ton of gameplay left in the traditional map, and it would be fun to see Austria come out on top sometime.

Of course... whatever everyone decides is cool with me.

Doubt you'll see Austria ever come out on top (unless I play it, naturally)... Everyone has to run over it to get to everyone else. The trick for Austria is just to throw a littla pizzazz into it's martyrdom.

Lookin' at the 20th centuray map, I'd expect alliances to form almost along the lines of the ones that exist now.... just from a geography standpoint... until Botswana pulls off the ultimate backstab to become world dominator. Could be fun. But yeah....

You know, all Austria has to do is get one ally, and get the others to look elsewhere for a few turns.

Easier said than done, however.

Ya know... if we pick a different map, it's possible to have more than just seven players.

For example, the Imperial Variant has 13 players. Hell, the Chaos Variant has 34!

If it comes to a vote, I'd like to give Imperial a try... can we get six more players?

That's the problem for Austria as I see it.

In order for everyone to look elswhere, they gotta stand on some really really tall ladders and look *over* Austria.

er... you get the idea.

But yeah... could happen.

I think we have four in the wings, Sand.... Just need 2 more then.

More like a "few years".

Btw... Is the 20th Century map the same way? That is... needing more players in order to use it?

You mean the 1900 Variant? There are seven players, if I'm reading this right.

That link doesn't work for me... Is it the same as the Map Reschke posted?

Sandman · « **Reply #41 on:** July 15, 2004, 08:18:47 PM »

It looks like the map Reshke referred to is the same as the one used in the Imperial Variant. The 1900 map is similar to the standard map, but has some changes to supply centers and some extra territories.

Look on this page for map variants:

I looked through them all too, and I'm up for the Imperial map if everyone else is.

Nash · « **Reply #43 on:** July 15, 2004, 08:27:32 PM »

That's the one Sand....

Screw metric... Imperial allaway.

Can we get an amen from the rest of the guys?
