Diplomacy >>> Risk

I haven't played diplomacy but I've heard it's really good. What's the premise?

[CrazyWR]

1900 europe.  Capture over half the supply centers to win...you need 18 to win.  Luck plays literally no role whatsoever. There are no dice.  Each country(Eng, Fra, Ger, A-H, Turkey, Ita) starts with 3 SC's except Russia, which gets 4.  Each country starts with 2 armies and 1 fleet except Russia(2 of each) and England(2 fleets, 1 army).  You form alliances/break alliances during the game(this is key, you can't win without alliances, trying to rambo the whole board = fast death) and write down(or e-mail, as the case may be) your moves before each turn, and they are then read in turn...it takes awhile, but its awesome if you can get 7 people to play together.

The game is VERY fun if you involve diplomacy - especially if you have it local with 6 friends who you can backstab ;P

Very fun to watch alliances crumble etc etc.  Thats my fav about dip anyway

[CrazyWR]

Definitely.  Love the backstabs heh.  Haven't played it in a year or so, but last game was with my brother, my dad, and a couple of my brother and I's friends each.  That was a good time...

Im drawing in ideas from Axis & Allies, Risk, Panzer general and even some CCG themes for the war map.

If you like A&A - EIR:R is going to get a whole FUCKLOAD more interesting for you when the warmap comes.

I love you

wont this game just  end in people who were friends before the game, making alliances all the time with eachother and everyone zerking together on the best player?

i dont know the game though

[Heartmann]

well no, its a real fun game, being able to in a kind way Backstab your m8s and screw them over its balls of fun seeing their expression  WTF!! ITS A DRUG!

Even thou yse there can be tendencies to huddel and best m8s join upp and kill every1 else and then conceding in the end but it is not often this happens

 The best computer version of A&A is Iron Blitz you can change pretty much everything like starting years and unit prices so you dont have the same starting boringness ..

Has anyone else played either of the A&A Miniature games (War at Sea or whatever the ground one is)?  I just started collecting the naval figures and it seems pretty fun.
