sorry to be a pain, but I'm a bit of a noob, so can you quickly go over the basic rules? I know that you "fill" into one region and "spill" into another, and that the number depends on the last number from the "reply number" (so yours would be a 9), but I sometimes see people comment "defend," I'm not sure what that does, and I'm also not sure if the number at the the end of your reply number corresponds exactly to the number of territories that you annex on that turn (sometimes I see games where "5" does more than "9." Sorry for being a bit noobish. I get the general idea...

Southeast australia
Dark red
Emu country

how many players do we need to start or is OP sorting out the map?

Holy American Empire
Pimp
Starting point: Alaska

You do seem to get the idea, the whole game is very intuitive really.
The correspondence between a reply number and a roll varies by map. In this instance, as seen on the map, you multiply the last digit by 2 to form a roll, digit "0" means you annex 20 tiles etc.
As for the "defend" command, the player upon calling it wants to prioritize his defense during the roll, which means that if someone attacks is faction, the attacker's roll is absorbed by the defender's roll

Awesome, thank you, that clears things up! I guess I'll pick up the more complex rules as play starts

Gentlemen, i'm not proposing an alliance or an NAP, but I will say this. There's a whole new world out there, so lets not exhaust ourselves on each other.

I would like to form a NAP with you.

update your bonus, it's +4 at the moment

also, whats going to war like? can you go to war withsomeone halfway across the world and if you win you take an agreed amount of land from them? or do you have to go to war with a neighbouring country?

My dear friend and ally,
Where will our borders meet?
How about you take Europe, including Constantinople and I'll take Asia (easy boundary) you can even take Georgia if you reach that far around the black sea. but Anatolia and the stans (apart from Kazakhstan, which you can also have) are mmine?
Do you find this agreement to be fair?
