Diplomacy (game)/Characters

Austria

• Butt Monkey (Austria is trapped between Germany, Russia, Italy and Turkey, and right next to contested Supply Points. Austria tends to die early.)
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass If Austria can survive the first few years, it can become a potent force (even more likely with a competent player).

England

• Cool Ship(England tends to be geared toward a naval strategy).
• Island Base

France

• French Jerk
• Jack of All Stats
• The Republic (The only Great Power whose head of state is not royalty, as the video game version points out.)

Germany

• Imperial Germany
• Glass Cannon (If Germany can team up with England or France, he's got a solid chance of victory. However, everyone but Turkey can attack him in 1901.)

Italy

• The Woobie (everyone just expects Italy to be this)

Russia

• Heterosexual Life Partners(with Turkey)
• We Have Reserves(Russia starts with one piece more then other countries)

Turkey

• Heterosexual Life Partners(with Russia)
  • This references the infamous "Juggernaut" strategy. This has received criticism of late for being easily predicted and having too much advantage toward Russia for it to be a good deal for Turkey)
