its all in who you like

i think that any nation can win if they have a good player, but i dislike italy or austria. sure, if you like the diplomatic intreague then play as austria, or if you like the navl power, play as italy. but i find it harder to win with those contries. i prefer to have england, france, or the turks.

Turkey

Turkey is one of my favorite contries to play. And I must say, that the Turkey-Austria alliance is by far the most fun I've had. Aslong as you have a good strong alliance with Austria, the team is unbeatable... then it's just a matter of duking it out at the end. LOL!

THE KRAUTS

That is a good plan. I think the only way Germany or Austria can survive the early years is to ally with eachother. It is suicide to attack eachother.

Germany (again)

Well, I suppose you do have a point, Nick. However, my point still stands that Germany eventually will conquer all of Europe, including your precious Scandinavia. But either way, im gonna continue to play this crazy crazy game. Germany+Austria-Hungary=a sure win. Germany drives west and makes a fake alliance with either France or England to take the other out. Meanwhile, Austria makes a fake alliance with Italy so it can turn its attention to Russia while Italy attacks Turkey. Then Germany and Austria reveal their alliance and destroy Italy and whatever country Germany took sides with. Flawless.

Italy:good

Italy as fine as long as you maintain some interest in the Balkans - Greece, maybe even Serbia. A strong Italian-Russian alliance can work wonders!

GMNY COOL, BUT NO.

Hey, man. You would have to consider local uprisings, like in France and Denmark and places like that. Besides the Vikings would return to Norway and kick some Nazi @$$...Maybe along with everything else while their at it.

GO SCANDINAVIA!

I concur with tim

basically, tims right. Germany does kill everything, cmon theyre nazis! if it wasnt for that country you all call "USA" intervening, nazis would rule europe and its inhabitants, and the world would be a happier place for everyone, including Jews (mainly because there wouldnt be any left.)

Siet Hiel!

Germany, kicks ass!

Everyone here is failing to realize that eventually the nazis will conquer all of europe so 1901 means crap! Hitler takes europe later, the crazy Turks lose their empire, and Russia becomes a bunch of crazy comie bastards. This all means NOTHING in the long run. Seit Hiel. Deutstchland ist die uber land in das welt. Oh and by the way, Austria Hungary and Jews would no longer exist in the world we know and hate today.

austria fun but deadly

Austria is the country that is doomed because Turkey and Russia have only one way to go and that is right at Austria.An alliance with both win never happen and Italy is a threat at all times.I love Russia with a Turkish ally a north south alliance that sweeps west.

Some explications as to why i beat my friends

People can putty in your hands so long as you know how to talk to them. Gosh it just makes me giddy thinking about all the ways I know how to get out of them what i want in Diplomacy. Some useful tips:

1. When you make an alliance, it is often good to tell the player you have allied against that your ally will be attacking them. Just don't tell them that you are allied. That way you'll get the better dividends when you and your ally have conquired them, as the opponent will have spent his troops defending from your ally's front.

2. People want you to promise them things. They want reassurance. It's remarkable how little you can actually promise, yet they will think you've given a lot. Just choose your words well.

3. If you have one big ally and the two of you are doing well together, keep talking to them even when its getting to the point when you will have to square off. Most people don't like to break alliances, and if you assure them everything is fine, they will keep trusting you. Keep proposing new strategies. Things stay on your terms then.

4. Offer losing players your 'protection'. Usually you don't have to do anything much, and in turn they will give you information because people often have loose lips around losing players.

5. Though geography obviously factors in, if you can, choose an ally who tends to annoy the other players with his style. He'll be the front man for your conquests and draw all the heat.

6. Make promises that require the other player to do something first, i.e. first make Turkey move his fleet out into the Aegean for your joint siezure of the balkans, then easily backstab with your Russian dreadnought while he's mucking around Greece.

7. Make your betrayals small and frequent, rather than rare and spectacular. The best thing in Diplomacy in my opinion is to recieve as little attention during board play and as much as possible during diplomacy periods.

8. Lastly, as i reached this page through my vote as to the worst country, i will declare it to be england england england. the supply centers just don't come in fast enough, and nobody profits from allying with you as much as they do from handily smushing you.
