In a similar theme to the diplomacy thread, I've come across a site that allows multiplayer advance wars games online: http://awbw.amarriner.com/
If you haven't played it, advance wars was a gameboy game, but in many ways it works very similarly to diplomacy. Turn based, create units and move them around the map to take strategic points and fight other units. The strategy of the game is in the placement of your units rather than in-battle decisions; you have very little control over the performance in battle beyond choosing where and what they fight against. It's fairly simple to get the hang of, but incredibly fun
The advantages this site has over the diplomacy site is greater customisation and greater depth. We're free to have as many or as few players in a game as we want, on a greater choice of maps and with a greater choice of units, and with either no formal alliances ie relying on diplomacy, or with formal alliances at the start of the game. And you have to take into consideration things such as unit strengths/weaknesses, terrain, CO powers, and supplies.
If you haven't come across advance wars before, this is what it looks like on the gameboy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfPftvUX1Po
I can't comment on how this site compares until someone registers and plays me
If you're an advance wars vet: this site has units/COs/powers etc up to the first DS game, (Dual Strike?), but specific units/powers etc. can be disabled if you don't like them.
So if you wanna play, whether in a big 8 man multiplayer game or a 1v1, in a rapid turn game or a slow game, register your interest here and we'll try to get some games going
