Here is our map for the start of the game.

Important notes for the Seven Islands variant:

Due to increased number of support centers the victory condition is 21 SCs, not 18.
There are land bridges between Sardinia and Corsica, Sicily and Naples as well as Cyprus and Syria. I tried to make them more apparent with ugly red arrowds.

The Spring 1901 turn will end on Sunday, 9th July 2017 at 1900 GMT. Please have your orders in by then.

Crete borders the Ionian.

OK. I was pretty sure from when I was thinking about it before, but it's not 100% clear on the map. Thanks.

The standard jDip map wasn't designed with 7 Islands in mind.

When I revisit the variant file later, I may extend the Crete border to the west to make it more readily apparent, but for now after two rabid week-ends fumbling with the XML and SVG I'm just happy to have it running without jDip choking every other turn.

Hahaha. Yeah, I understand. Thanks again for your time and effort.

Diplomacy is a strategic board game created by Allan B. Calhamer in 1954 and released commercially in 1959. It's main features from other board games are it's negotiation phases, where players talk to each other, forming alliances and other deals, and the complete lack of luck in the resolution of combat in the game. It has a wide player-base both online and in e-mail and even postal games.

Check the link below for detailed information on the game itself, including the full text of Richard Sharp's book on the game, The Game of Diplomacy.
