Selfmade: The first and synthetical variant on gS is named Battleisle. And the name already presents some kind of foreboding. Find out if it is really that bad for yourself...

Whoever knows that Isengard is not the capitol of Norway, will be thrilled to play the variant Middle Earth. Elbs, Dwarfs, the mighty evildoers from Mordor and other well known mythological creatures are struggling for dominance in Tolkiens fabulous world. And it’s 100% Gollum free, we promise.

To boldy go where no one has gone before...Yes indeed, a Star Trek adaption for Realpolitik does exist. Finally you can play Diplomacy with yor favorite Star Trek civilisation (Federation, Borg, Cardassians, Romulans, Ferenghi or Dominion). Each of these civilisations has its own advantages and special abilities. Interesting and vry complex, but better tgo see it yourself...

Battleisle

Battleisle is a synthetic variant for 6 players. Synthetic means that the map was drawn without existing landscapes and/or countries in mind.

You'll find further informations about this variant and a description of it's specialties in the original info-text.

Middle Earth

Middle Earth, The Third Age is a variant following Tolkiens epic The Lord of the Rings and based on the variant Middle Earth VIII by Lewis Pulsipher. Contrary to the story of The Lord of the Rings this variant sees fighting between all nations instead of all against Mordor and fighting is guaranteed on this map. Every power has to fight at least two other powers to conquer one or more of the coveted neutral supply centers. We wish you lots of fun in Tolkiens world of dwarves, elves and man.

Star Trek Diplomacy II has been developed by P. Balasz, F. Hegermann, A. Cellar, T. Kurtzler und R. Mazhar. It was adapted for Realpolitik by M. Meissner und R. Linka.

Federation, Klingones, Romulans, Ferenghi, Cardassians, Borg und the Dominions struggle for domination in the Star Trek Universe. With every power having a unique set of capabilities it shouldn't be easy to conquer in space. For an overview of these special features please refer to the infotext.

This variant is played anonymous and blind, where blind means that a power can see only those provinces adjacent to an own unit or an owned sc.
