This game has significant improvements over the other. You can walk through others' territory without Passage Rights for double move points. Anonymity required. Commanders required to move anywhere but your own lands. More nations. Genoa exists I think. You can go around the east of the Black Sea. Unit Tactics settings. Good game.

Seems a better game, and the maps are definitely better.
I'm guessing in a full game, you'd have a whole lot of wholesale die-offs in the beginning as things get sorted out. People making deals with the ring of nations just beyond the ones encircling them, and the lucky or skilled ones getting the edge to create big gains in the first half-dozen turns. Seems plenty more room for interesting strategies.
Prolly not going to be playing, though.
Originally posted by no1marauderWell, of course we wouldn't reveal ourselves within the game diplomacy. But who would know if we did so within the confines of this forum? But if you guys want to play it straight, that's fine with me. I guess there'll be no grand RHP alliance.
The rules are the rules. It'll make it a lot less fun though.
