It seems like the Berlin vs. Konigsberg situation is complex in this time, since: The Prussian government was relocated to Berlin in 1701, with Konigsberg as the official capital of the "Kingdom of Prussia" (only the areas outside the HRE's bounds), while Berlin ruled over both that and the "Electorate of Brandenburg" (Prussian lands inside the HRE). Then, when the HRE was dissolved in 1806, the Prussians made all their land be included in the Kingdom of Prussia, with Berlin as its capital. A few short months later, Napoleon occupied Berlin and stayed in it for a while (1806-1813), so the administrative center of Prussia was Konigsberg. Source: Wikipedia. Someone else definitely has a better source. Tl;dr: you can make the case either way for which city was the capital of Prussia in 1812. Fascinating; I had not quite followed that Berlin had stopped being the capital solely because Napoleon occupied it. It's similar to how Cadiz temporarily became the capital of non-Napoleonic Spain. In any case, I have a personal (though remote) connection to Koenigsberg and wanted it to be a center on the map. As stated before, I will alter the terminology regarding "major harbors" to avoid any confusion that they might only be allowed to build fleets. Sounds like Königsberg stays, then. |

It's not urgent, but Nap should be colored green. Is mine.

Funny, A Nap could disband instead of retreat and then rebuild in Ven.

Funny, A Nap could disband instead of retreat and then rebuild in Ven. Or rebuild as a fleet, in theory, but oh well. The same (as your original assessment) could be said of the artist formerly known as A Ken |

Spain has one build. That gain in Kentucky got Spain that build. Count the SCs and the units. Sadly it checks out: 2 builds, because 10 SCs & 8 units. The forced disband at New York City was what lets Dr. Hendrei Gromsinger have his second build. |

nopunin10did, I think it's amusing to see a dizzy array of SC ownership changes such as this year: CA takes 1 from NS SH takes 1 and lose 1 to NS NS takes 1 from RH, 1 from SH, 1 from CH, loses 1 to SH, 1 to CA, 1 to UK CH loses 1 SC to NS UK takes 1 from NS, loses 1 to FR FR takes 1 from UK RH takes 1 from RU, loses 1 to NS AU takes 1 from RU, but loses 2 to RU DE takes 1 from RU RU takes 2 from AU, lose 1 to AU, lose 1 to RH, lose 1 to DE I've seen plenty of situations like that before in my Diplomacy 'career' but it's quite rare to have a list of changes THAT long, lol.

You see this is why this game is so interesting. The game is in a flux in such a manner that there are always SCs being taken and simultaneously being lost, but in a proportion that is significantly higher than it was in the start of the game |

The forced disband at New York City was what lets Dr. Hendrei Gromsinger have his second build. It's actually more complicated. Spain last year gained three SCs, but was limited by the two-build cap. Then, this year, Spain gained three SCs (Ken, Cng, Nap), lost three other SCs (NYC, Btm, Cad), but also had one unit forced to disband, giving it a net result of two builds. |

That is indeed quite a lot of SC musical chairs. That's what, 12 centers changing hands? |
