opening moves for Diplomacy

[Jos Theelen]

Because Diplomacy is so often compared with chess, I wonder if there are special openings for the countries in each game. Something like: "always go immediately for Tunis, if you play Italy".

Thanks. Do the AI play conform those openings? Or are they just doing something?

Don't know.

I don't think Diplomacy plays to an "Opening Book" as with many Chess programmes but I am not 100% sure.

(The idea was suggested though)

Another good source of information is this one. Contains a whole lot of strategies and some humour.

Thanks for the links. I noticed that nobody wrote something about the Paradox game on those websites. Shouldn't there be more advertising on those places for Paradox game?

The game is still new, while some of those sites have been around for decades, and they have a very dedicated following.

Hopefully more will appear on those sites about Paradox Diplomacy.

The Pouch already ran an interview. I am sure there will be some sort of follow-up.
