Default Re: New game - The Art of War, Random nations, no diplomacy

Count me in as well please.

Close to my limit now on games, but find that sorting out diplomacy usually takes longer than sorting out moves, so I'm well up for a no chat, no trading, no coordinated attacks, just good old fashioned everyone for themselves type of game. No diplomacy games are the way forward IMO.

Also one suggestion, you might want to disable re-naming, since it could help give away a players identities due to many players liking to rename their commanders after the random picks they get. Since it's then feasible for someone to start making a list (from the various games they might be in) of who renames their commanders like this and who doesn't. Think as many measures as possible should be taken to keep identities a secret.

Final point, you might want to mention something about what the penalties are if someone does communicate during the game. Will they be warned, instantly turned AI etc. While I'd like to believe that everyone will stick to the spirit of the game, it would be useful for clarity sakes to state the rules clearly before hand in case anyone is tempted.....

"Oh sorry, I forgot there wasn't any diplomacy in this game. It won't happen again honest. And it's no big deal since I only needed to do it once so that I could arrange for everyone to attack the player who just attacked me"
