I'm travelling to Paris for the French tournament this Xmas. Anyone out there got advice on how to prosper (or survive) while playing C-Diplo (7 year game, 1st-3rd count best). Paul C.

It's actually the complete opposite of that - possibly because Paul didn't give enough details of the system. At the end of the game: 1st place: 38 points 2nd place: 14 points 3rd place: 7 points Shared places share the points. 1 point per centre 1 point for playing. So 6 in a 6-5-5-5-5-5-3 (45 pts) is better than a 17-17 (44 pts), and much better than a 16 in a 17-16-1 (31 pts). It is very much a positional and tactical game. Alliances will change from turn to turn, and people will only work with you if it's in their interests that turn. Never do anything for someone in return for something else - they won't return the favour unless it is in their interests to do so. Only(Continue reading)

Thanks a lot David, I couldn't find much about C-Diplo strategy on the internet. It sounds like "dot-whore" game - perfect for me !! It seems best to always make sure you're #2 or #3, like a lot of multiplayer boardgames. What should I be looking for in the diplomacy period and how does the scoring system affect the statistics of the game from the point of view of powers, openings etc ?

"Never do anything for someone in return for something else - they won't return the favour unless it is in their interests to do so. Only do things that are to your advantage." Do you mean don't expect anything on future turns? What if it's a "you support me and I'll support you this turn" scenario - one doesn't want to be labelled a cad in the early game, just for one little dot.

D & J: Would playing against 6 Alberts and stopping at '07 be good practice for C-diplo or do the newer Alberts make more long-term plans ?

It's likely better than nothing. But Albert has no idea the game is ending in year 7. He just wouldn't act in the last years as you would in your Cdiplo games. He bases his victory condition on 18SCs. You may have a better game disabling alliances using the '-n' parameter, and having Albert treat every power as an enemy. At least that way he is not having alliances limit it's potential growth. In reality It is a combination.
