Hi Yannis,


Yes, the corps placement is up to players, only you know your locations.


Beside Venice and Denmark, are there any other minors with morale 2? I can look into it for me but it makes no sense to pick nation color based on morale.


Circle icon is replaced with the ! yellow triage, a bit more visible now but I think it will be used much less as you can select and see the number of corps in any area. No need to write (Wellington + 2 corps)

Fantastic work Tiron, thank you!

I assume we have to place the corps on the map only?

Just two comments, since we are now using one colour for the minors and we insert a comment for their nationality, would it be feasible to have a two colour selection, one for minors with morale 2 and one for minors with morale 3 (i don't think there are minors with morale 4 except for Poland)?

Also, in the additional markers we are missing the circle icon that we use in order to place a comment on the stacks on the map. Is it feasible to have it as well?

    You could, but its double work. It will have to be redone by

                I sum this up
                - we change CB files so that we can all touch
                everything and anyone can make a correction
                - we post combined files when possible, for example,
                reinforcements & naval, naval & land etc. This is
                for speed only and/never changes the sequence of the
                game/. So if for example someone posts his
                reinforcements, but sees in political phase than he
                was Dowed by someone else, he has every right to
                change the reinforcement file he already posted; in
                fact, he can change everything in his political as
                well after the DoW.
                - we keep a limit of 48 hours per country when it is
                our time to play. Combined moves multiply this by
                the number of countries combining. We try to take
                into account RL factors, for example, that we will
                be away during the weekend.
                - if we cannot keep this 'limit' for real life
                reasons, we just inform everyone about it. We will
                still have delays for real life reasons, but we
                should not keep our co-players in the dark - for
                example 1 week passing by with no input what's
                happening.
                - if, after everything, it is simply not possible to
                play for a while for whatever reasons, we allow an
                ally to play for us for a while, to keep the game
                flowing
                The above should be more than enough to have a
                reasonably paced game. We have been playing for 2.5
                real-life years, almost completing 5 gaming years.
                Let's not make this game a 5 RL years one :)

                            Like I mentioned on Trello, my

                            Cyberboard is always slow because the
                            game is always waiting for someone to
                            move the pieces in sequence.

                            I would propose to build a new CB file
                            where everyone can move any piece on the
                            map, even removing pieces form the map.

                            With a TO DO list like we already have
                            on top in trello that would speed up as
                            anyone can keep the game up-to-date and
                            if a player makes just a small change he
                            can add it to TO DO list. For example in
                            naval phase Britain moves only one
                            fleet, it is just to send an email to
                            the group or add it to TO DO list and
                            anyone doing a turn later can move it.
                            But it would also help with corps
                            removal, after battle victor is rolling
                            and right after rolling he can move the
                            defeated army in withdrawal, etc. It
                            would add some flexibility in keeping
                            the CB file but allowing to also play
                            outside it.

                            The corps back side would still be
                            invisible to anyone but the country
                            player so the corps identification
                            remains secret.

                            That would mean we would have to place
                            our corps locations again but it should
                            be a 5 minute job, I can do all other

                                Gentlemen,
                                Delays in posting a turn result in
                                a lot of displeasure. When we
                                finish our current turn (so that we
                                don't delay the current one
                                further) we need to discuss it. It
                                is a fact that we cannot play this
                                game with "real life" turnaround,
                                we can't have 1 month per turn. It
                                is also a fact that there is real
                                life in between and shit happens to
                                everyone at times. I have in the
                                past commented that when someone is
                                not available for real life
                                reasons, one of his allies should
                                do his turn so that we do not all
                                delay. So far I believe only me has
                                done this once, when Turkey was
                                away for 1 week. I am perfectly
                                fine for someone else to play
                                France when I am occupied with
                                real-life issues, probably we all
                                feel the same since the game
                                immediately falls rapidly in
                                importance when there are other
                                priorities.
                                Some suggestions to speed up
                                1. If there are no declarations of
                                war, we skip the political step and
                                just announce alliances and
                                combined moves. There is not much
                                at this stage to worth waiting a
                                couple of days.
                                2. Post reinforcements together
                                with naval when you can (unless GB
                                wants to play last or there is a
                                surprise planned)
                                3. Having done that, the truth is
                                that it is usually the land step
                                that takes ages. Since perfect
                                cooperation is not always possible
                                (or as a matter of fact,
                                historical) give a speed limit of
                                48 hours per player in the combined
                                move. That means a 4 player
                                alliance should have posted
                                their land phase in a max of 8 days.
                                4. If you are planning to move away
                                for the weekend or some other time,
                                you know that in advance, so post
                                your move in advance so that game
                                can continue on weekends. Some
                                people even prefer playing on
                                weekends since they have more free time
                                5. If you are going to be away for
                                more than 2 days, let us know. Very
                                few people do this. It is just
                                courtesy but it helps, as sometimes
                                it is not the actual delay but the
                                fact that we DONT KNOW what hurts.
                                If we know for example Makis is ill
                                is abroad this week and returns on
                                Sunday, we know not to expect a
                                turn from him until then, or Makis
                                asks Spain to do his turn.
                                I feel like I have said some of the
                                above before in posts or 1 to 1
                                discussion. We don't need more
                                rules, just to keep the ones we
                                have discussed.
                                We know when it is dragging too
                                long. We all feel it. Players
                                responsible should make an effort
                                to speed up, even at the cost of
                                perfect gameplay. I much more
                                respect that, than a flawless turn.
                                When I played the game as a board
                                game, you can't imagine how many
                                mistakes were happening every time,
                                especially from allied/combined
                                moves. But it was part of the game.
                                You have a courtesy time limit when
                                people are standing looking at you
                                while you play across a map in an
                                evening. Should not be that hard to
                                make something similar here. We all
                                agreed that we check our emails
                                daily in order to join this game.
                                You have anything else in mind that
                                we can do to improve this?
                                M.
                                Yes, me! Not sure how more clear do
                                I need to make it. I dont want to
                                play a game I need wait 2-4 weeks
                                every time for others to play and I
                                play in one day. Simple as that.
                                And it is not the first time this
                                has happened. I guess I need to
                                repeat my disclaimer, I dont blame
                                anyone, but unless we can find some
                                middle ground, I'm not interested
                                in continuing this game. And
                                believe me, the only reason is that
                                I really like the game, which makes
                                me want to play more. Just getting
                                a fix once a month is not good
                                enough...

                                it is something that made ME to
                                feel like Laertis as well.
                                if for ANY reason anyone thinks we
                                should discuss for the continuation
                                of the game then let's do it.
                                straight and clear.
