Smid's Diplomacy Game Thread #3

[Smid]

My apologies on the delay. I thought I was waiting on someone to give me builds/retreats and it turns out I actually hadn't noticed the message they'd sent. I'll push back the orders phase by 48 hours to compensate. Again, very sorry about that.

The build phase orders were:

F N/A
R Disband A Prussia, A Livonia
I Build F Rome, A Venice
G N/A
A N/A
T Build A Ankara, A Smyrna
E Disband A Edinburgh

The map now appears thus:
