We conduct diplomatic correspondence between players in the style of the 19th century in the Slack messenger. It is very funny and informative. The language of international negotiations is English.

What happens in our game:

Despite a small number of completed turns, Europe is on the verge of a Great War - Russia and Austria attacked Turkey. England, France, Prussia, Belgium and Sardinia try to prevent them and threaten to enter the war on the side of Turkey.
Difficult diplomatic negotiations continue, but at the same time, Russians and Austrians seize the Balkan territories of the Ottoman Empire, Prussia occupied Bavaria (the Austrian satellite), France concentrated its armies on the border with Austria , Britain threatens to declare war on Russia and destroy its merchant fleet .And also China declared war on Japan (?!!)

The proclamation of a Russian protectorate over Khiva caused an international crisis - Great Britain is trying to challenge this decision !!!!

As a result of playing the cards of the crisis, Russia retained a protectorate over Khiva, but Britain received most of the Prestige being played (842 versus 168). This further widened Britain's lead in the World Race to Victory.

Yes, of course you can join our game. But you see that all large and even small countries are occupied by players (now 20 people are participating!). But there are still many countries for a difficult but interesting game.
Turn 135, August 1855. There are no wars between the players now, everyone is intriguing and trying to somehow sell their herring.But at any moment, everything can change. More and more players are starting to fear a strong UK lead in Prestige Points. A big redivision of the world is coming.
The best way to join us is to join the TWC club:

I will join TWC club and look at making contact. What is the in-game date? Also what is the political situation on the Italian peninsular? Are the borders largely as they were in 1850?

Yes, the Two Sicilies are free. Many wanted to take them but the player for Sardinia discouraged them).
Because he plans to capture them soon and unite Italy. But when is it happen? Perhaps not in many years. The one that is necessary to discuss and think.

The player for Sardinia-Piedmont is one of the most active and successful in our country. And not because he is our host)), and then that he is a good diplomat.
He has already annexed Tuscany, captured Lombardy and Venice from Austria.

We are now in a big diplomatic and even gaming crisis due to the appearance of a player for the Orange Free State:
The addition of a player for the Orange Free State(OFS) (a small Boer republic in South Africa) to our campaign led to a major international crisis.

Even in the process of choosing a new player for his country, the British player announced that OFS and Transvaal would soon be annexed by Britain and there was no point in playing for them. But the newcomer (a brave Pole) insisted, said that he was not afraid of such a prospect!

As a result, during the activation of the OFS, the whole world learned that Britain had declared war on the Transvaal (and why not the OFS?) And declared that in the next 5 turns both Boer republics would be occupied and annexed by the British Empire - since Britain has already been building up its Colonial Presence for 15 turns in the Boer republics and a step away from declaring them their protectorate (or colonies). And the unlucky ruler of the OFS should urgently look for a new country to emigrate.


Russia strongly condemned this aggression and entered into a diplomatic squabble with the British Foreign Office. The Ottoman Empire strongly supported Britain.
Quite unexpectedly, the player for Holland (the history of the homeland of the Boers) offered to transfer the OFS to him for manual management of a short desperate struggle between the Boers and the aggressor.
At the initiative of Russia, an international conference was convened to help the Boers. The representatives of France, the Netherlands, Spain and China agreed to take part in it. Piedmont also leaned towards supporting the Boers (despite alliance with Britain)

But then the United States said that they did not care about the Boers and, in general, they are a loyal ally of Britain and are ready to defend it with weapons in hand from any attacker.
Britain also began to put very heavy pressure on other countries.
After this announcement, all international support for the Boers was immediately blown away, countries began to withdraw their representatives from the international conference.

Its discouraging that Piedmont has made such headway already in attempting to establish an Italian state - something which serves to benefit no other power. France and Austria would simply have a major power on their southern border which they currently do not have...and a major power which might be unpredictable. Britain would simply have to contend with the establishment of a maritime power in the Mediterranean (which, France aside, currently doesn't exist) and if the Boer debacle has proven anything to Britain its that the Piedmontese are not reliable allies. I am interested in salvaging the fortunes of the Neopolitan Kingdom. What year is the game? When is the next pass turn and how do I contact other players for diplomacy?

The player for Sardinia-Piedmont is our most cunning player, he very cleverly maneuvers between the contradictions of large countries.). You are right - I myself do not quite understand why France helped Sardinia in the war against Austria? Since helping to capture Lombardy and Venice ahead of the historical date, France deprives itself of the historical event for the transfer of Savoy to her in 1860.

In the final version of vanilla Savoy transfer event is empty anyway - it will be retained by Italy no matter who are owner of Lombardy.

I have not written here for a long time, but our game continues.

We now have our 200th turn !
Now we have 15 players who manage 20 countries (5 countries are now managed as a "second country" for various reasons).

All players are busy developing the economy of their countries, and large countries are also seizing colonies, and no one wants to spend resources (and maybe their time) on a war. There were a couple of attempts to start wars between the players, but the tough opposition of the Great Powers, primarily Great Britain, forced the players not to start wars, or immediately stop them.

My Russia has completed its expansion in Central Asia - Khiva, Merv, Bukhara became Russian protectorates. There is still an independent Kokand Emirate, but it has neither valuable resources nor Target Cities for me, and therefore I did not spend resources on its conquest.

In the economy, an important event was the emergence of huge oil fields in Baku. Now I am hastily developing this region - a railway has been built, oil fields are being built, research on more intensive methods of its extraction is being stimulated. True, my dream of becoming a world monopoly in oil production turned out to be deceived - after a few turns, oil sources appeared in many parts of the world ((. But I still plan to become one of the major players in this market.

All my attempts to create some kind of strong coalition for economic and possibly military opposition to the world leadership of Great Britain have so far been unsuccessful. All players are either very careful or just lazy, or they have their own secret plans that they do not want to tell me about. )))

[Northern Neighbour]

We finally lost a player for Portugal. Although this is not a Great Power, it is a very rich country with colonies in Africa. We are looking for someone who wants to play for her!

[Northern Neighbour]

We have a new player for Portugal.
