Cayrus: is your name an Asian version of the eurogame Caylus?
Eastern time is where it's at.
The first turn is awesome, they actually give you double your time to do it. So the first spring should actually last 48 hours. Then the times go to what they are set at. It's to help prevent first turn NMR.
You must be one of them there East Coast media lib'ral elite types I done heard so much about.

No, it is a misspelling of my former roommate's name Cyrus, that I thought was cool and used as my WoW/forum name.

It does work well as a fantasy name. I was just making a lame quasi-racist joke.

italy, huh. guess i'll be looking at all those opening tonight.
...and now my forum avatar is strangely appropriate again.
I know that Russia wasn't the USSR until later, but still, its more fun this way.

Just curious.
Italy is tough.

well, if'n you're going for historical accuracy, you could just fight ineffectually and let everyone walk all over you...

haha it was pretty overwhelming at first, I'm glad the first turn is 48 hours.
Strangely enough, Italy is the only country that I have actually managed to win with. I've lost every other game that I've been in. So it may feel stressful, but remember the hard part about Italy is mattering, not surviving. You're almost guaranteed to survive to the midgame, because no one really wants to take you out until then. It's finding someone who will help you get above 4 centers that's the problem.
Scumbag Italy.
what are you playing at italy
working with france?
meanwhile turkey opens up unencumbered by dirty russia
seriously man fuck austria

Diplomacy has been all that I can think about.
i think italy - austria can work but it probably takes some real concrete planning, i think there's a lot of natural tension.
the early play for Rumania is suuuuuper risky. most russia's don't take it until the fall, but you never know. better to get your guaranteed two and call it a day.
I'm currently playing as Italy in a public game, fun, but very odd at times. Current state of affairs:
He'll die soon.
Man, IT, you are committed to the East.
Watch your back.

Italy continues to be downright mean, France makes a move on Germany and Russia is bounced out of Sweden.
Mon Dieu.

Turkey, Russia, gain 1
AH remains at 3.
Looks like another typical game where AH can't find an ally.
Not a good strategy, as no one can win alone.

I feel like AH is a country kinda like Italy, except it's a lot easier to be obliterated.
Without one, you crumble. Italy, you can survive without a friend, you just can't do anything. AH needs someone to be their buddy in the East.
AH and Germany lead the stats in tournament eliminations I believe. So it's not the easiest country to get.
