(Major updates will be announced in DipAi.) Installation and running instructions may be needed.

Acknowledgements

SAGA depends on the products of the many bot developers – see johnnewbury.me.uk/diplomacy/bots.htm for details. Furthermore, the development of SAGA, and all these other products, are what they are today thanks to discussions by the members of the Yahoo DipAi group.

Grateful thanks to all concerned, in many cases without whom this product would have been impossible (and irrelevant).
