Desert Dave Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 As originally posted by Edwin P: Has anyone in the Beta Group successfully used diplomacy to influence Spain or Turkey to join their side. Yep, I had Spain up in the 70 percentile. Then, I suspected wily (... and Diplo board attentive) Opponent had canceled my Diplomatic chit with one of his own, so I stuck another flyer in there. I was hoping for that occasional "large parlay" where you can get a 20-30% hit. At that point, it is Molly over the Windmill (... rather, in this instance - Don Quixote, kicked head over heels, I guess) Because... once you reach the magic number, IE, 90% leaning in your favor, well, then there are automatic and gradual increases whether you have a Diplo chit canceled out or not. Kind of like... the Minor has JUST ABOUT been convinced, and all that is required now is to roll out the red carpet, toss the garlands around, and open the back door of the waiting limosine. Mercedes or Packard or Rolls Royce, as the case may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blashy Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I've had Spain join in one game. Cost: 750mpps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin P. Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 Blashy - was it worth the 750MPPs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blashy Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Well, you get the following: 4 cities and 2 ports. 1 corps on each city 2 cruisers. 2 armies 1 HQ, 1 tank and 1 AF all at 5 strength. MPP wise it is worth it (obviously) but you have to consider; you do not choose when it joins OR will it EVER and none of these troops can have tech upgrades, as well only Franco HQ can suppor them. Basically you have 1 tank, 1 AF and 2 armies to fight with, the others must remain on your cities, especially with amphibious landings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubarno Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Did you immediatly capture Gibralter and then dominate the med, supplemented by your two spanish cruiser fleets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin P. Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 Mm, perhaps it is worthwhile for the allies to sway Spain to their side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Dozer Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 i would think so, germans would have supply issues with the mountain and an even wider front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
