The Dark Ages Variant is a historical transplant of Hasbro/Avalon Hill's Diplomacy game to the North Sea region in 825 AD.
The Dark Ages variant conforms to the standard rules of Hasbro/Avalon Hill's Diplomacy in most every way, with the few exceptions listed below.
- Turns move from Spring to Fall just like standard Diplomacy, and the first turn is Spring 825 AD.
- Somerset, Ribe, and Saxony are bi-coastal territories, similar to Spain or Bulgaria in Standard.
- The island of Roskilde is exactly like Constantinople in Standard. Armies and Fleets may move directly from Jelling, to Roskilde, to Skane, and vice versa. A fleet in Roskilde may NOT convoy.
- The core of Europe is impassable, as the variant is intended to emphasize the coastal raiding prevalent during this time.
- Solo victory is declared when one nation has control of 18 SCs (simple majority). Have fun and happy raiding!
