Why is Portugal neutral? They had a centuries old alliance with Britain and were part of the Napoleonic War. Also how do I pick which side to side with?

Warning, this will be a very very very different TW. With its own rules and Shoot. I am still working out the details but country selection is now up and running! You might see a bit of a change of the location and size of your country (I am not easytech, so no huge changes). We start in 1803, I think I will have two phases a year. Major players: [Available] Holy Roman Empire + Hungary & Galicia AKA -> Easytech HRE (Coalition side) [Available] French Republic (French Side) [Available] UK (Coalition side) [Available] Russia (can choose at anytime) Secondary: [Available] Sweden (can choose at anytime, if Russia sides with one side Sweden must side with the other due to the bad Russo-Swedish relations) [Available] Ottoman Empire (can choose at anytime, if Russia sides with one side the Turks must side with the other due to the bad Russo-Turkish relations) [Available] Spain (French side) [Available] Denmark (+ Norway) (French side) [Available] Prussia (Coalition side) Other countries (can not be chosen unless there are more than 9 players) Italian states (I will unify them into a weak state) (French vassal) Netherlands (French vassal) Portugal (Neutral) I AM GOING TO CHANGE TEAM THINGS TOMORROW A BIT> mate Frederick the Great is right, those English and Portuguese have had an alliance which is 400+ years old by now (1803) and also if you make Portugal neutral the whole peninsula war dies. Also tag those who've taken countries plox. |

Two turns a year you say? Russia should get double BP when defending in the second turn of each year to represent the fact that you can't invade Russia in the winter. I say double BP for balance since it's more realistic for it to be impossible to beat Russia in winter.

He said it in the first post of this thread. |

XD (See the rules for Russia in winter, the 1900 variant) There's no Russian winter rule in 1900 Diplomacy. There's a Russian Steamroller rule giving an extra unit allotment above its SC count tho. And Siberia counts as a build site. |

There's a Russian Steamroller rule giving an extra unit allotment above its SC count tho. And Siberia counts as a build site. I'll quote the inventor of the variant: "As described in the first chapter, the REM Rule assumes that Russia reacts with desperation in the face of a crisis (much like it actually did in 1916 after the catastrophes of 1915) by better managing its resources and industrial capacity. In this case, the crisis is the loss of a home supply center. Whenever Russia possesses at least one, but not all four, of its original home supply centers, it is entitled to maintain one extra unit on the map (i.e., one more than the number of supply centers it currently controls). Additionally, while Russia is in this condition, the Tsar may use Siberia as a build site during the adjustment phase, if Siberia is unoccupied. Should Russia fail to possess at least one home supply center or should it regain possession of all four of its home supply centers, the ability to maintain an extra unit is lost and any excess units must be disbanded during the subsequent adjustment phase. Further, Siberia reverts to its normal status (i.e., it is no longer a build site). Note that Siberia, while it may become a build site, never attains supply center status." From here. diplom.org/Zine/S2007R/Powell/1900_Russia.htm |

I'll quote the inventor of the variant: "snip" From here. diplom.org/Zine/S2007R/Powell/1900_Russia.htmFor sake of gameplay, Powell had also rescinded the part related to loss of a home center, so in effect it was simplified to having an extra unit. It's in the official rules ever since then. Let's not derail this any further. Anyway, the point is, there's no rule related to the Russian Winter in 1900 Diplomacy. For TW14, maybe this winter applies only to the area inside Russia for both offense and defense, and only for the 2nd phase of a year. |

Will UK get a naval buff, and France or Prussia land unit buff? |

António Salazar before we start our own assumptions on what you said please elaborate what have you written regarding two phases = 1 year. Also highly appreciated if you could get the time for a map. I know school is on again BTW.
