How can I win at the game of Diplomacy?

  • Answer:

    You can find plenty of strategy articles at www.diplomacyworld.net, both in the articles section and in the back issues. You did not specify if Austria and Italy are working together. If Austria opened to Serbia and Albania he can support himself into Greece, but if not you can order Bul-Gre and Con-Bul and keep him out of Greece. Watch for the potential for Italy and Austria to combine the Lepanto opening. Did Russia know you were moving to the Black Sea? If not he may view that as aggressive. Use F Bla to support Russia into Rumania if you want to show your friendship. Diplomacy World is the Diplomacy hobby flagship zine since the 1970s. Every single issue ever published is now online. You can also find S&T articles at the Postal Diplomacy Zine Archive at http://www.whiningkentpigs.com/DW/ Do not define "enemies" as nations you are not allied with. Russia is your CURRENT ally, but you need to communicate with every powere every turn...you never know when you will need to make new alliances and break old ones. France could be a string ally against Germany and Italy.

Don't be fooled by false friends. Friends and enemies change all the time in this game. What I would suggest is to look up some strategy, say on http://www.diplomacy-archive.com/. Here, you can look up articles from Diplomacy experts. What I would say right now is to talk with England and Austria-Hungary to go against Russia. That Russian move south does not look very friendly. But still look up the articles. Also look up some on the other countries, to get an idea of their options. The articles are actually very short, so don't feel bogged down by all the reading.

Your primary objective given your current assesment of alliance structure is break up the Austria/Italian alliance. Offer each of them the world to turn on the other. Make promises such as I'll attack Russia if you, Austria, attack Italy. Offer to support Italy into Austrian centers. If you break up the alliance then their centers will fall quickly to you and Russia. In making offers to Austria and Italy, you may even be able to work with them at a later stage say if Russia decides to stab you, or Russia leaves himself open to a stab from you. Also as Turkey if you survive to 1905 you'll survive to the end and likley have many growth opportunities as alliances in the west set their sights eastward. Don't worry too much about fast growth in the early years. Good luck M
