First of all this game, once patched, will be up there with some of the best stratagy games available. The ideas and concepts behind the game are brilliant (as is LGG the boardgame) the implemetation however appears to have gone very wrong. How this ever passed the testing phase is beyond me. :(

Enough ranting onto a question or two. Playing as the allies in the grand campaign. Once the british impose a blockade I lose the ability to send diplomats to the usa.I get a no route available ? This is for all allied nations including the UK. Bulgaria manages to send one for the CP but not me. Am I missing something.

Also Konisburgh fell to my gallent Russians and the National Will of Turkey dropped by 3 points. :bonk:
Prehaps the Turkish population use Konisburgh as a holiday destination or something but it seems a little odd :wacko:

Strange. Especially the 'Bulgarian' diplomat...as only Germany and AH posess diplomats for the CP. We shall check this.

This WAD. Koenigsberg is a key strategic location in the game (see the star icon), and because it's loss is really a blow to Germany and the CP at large, a Turkey allied to the CP will 'suffer' from the defeat too (i.e. confidence in the strength of the mighty German ally suddenly erodes ;) )

Thanks for the quick response . I know you guys are working hard on a fix for some of the issues. Like the idea of the allies being effected by other countries losses nice touch :thumbsup:

Yes, if you look what happened in 1918, there was a typical 'chain-reaction' mechanism in the Balkans surrenders...

In the same spirit, it's Brusilov's 1916 Offensive initial successes that convinced the Rumanian to jump onto the bandwagon. In the game, key strategic locations loss (especially those fortresses like Koenigsberg or Przesmyl ) will also impact diplomacy :cool:

Are you sure USA was not already "full" of Allied diplomats? (max is 3.. if I remember correctly).

Also, I think that CP diplomat came from Bulgaria, being sent there earlier, and it was not actually Bulgarian. At least, I have not seen any Bulgarian diplomats.
