View Full Version : WW1 Interactive

You get 1,2 and 3 options, sometimes you ave to choose an army.
It is set in WW1, starting in 1914, the first day of war.
Choose a faction! Choose you're option!
And reserve it. Diplomatic relations run in here. There is also minor factions whick go in and out, some can be player controlled, other's are just for the ride! You have to research your factions, like the current king, emperor. There current alliance's (Tip: Germany was allied with Austria!) and historical info, maps and soldier's.
The year is 1914, Europe is at the edge of war, this is going to big one evryone knew, but they couldn't just declare war. Then, the event happened, recorded into history. The Future empeoror of Austrian-Hungarian Empire is shot by a suspected Serbian Assasin. Austria declares war, and Europe is plunged into a massive war. The world is at the doorstep, of theFirstWorld War!
The rules here are from the 17th century interactive because it is so good!
How to play - every turn, I'll list questions about the most relevant matters for the player to decide about. However, each turn it's also possible to decide about things that aren't listed under that turn. Examples of things that you can decide are listed here for reference during the game:
* thing made publicly in this thread:
a. declaring war
c. propaganda - if your nation wants to use propaganda actions it's posted as a public proclamation in the public thread. This can also be a general call for, Areoplane Raid etc. but also actions for your own population. Normal actions that aren't explicit propaganda can also have propaganda effects.
d. choosing stance on religion, and the leader's religion - this will affect relations with the pope, relations with other countries, etc.
* things made by sending a PM to me that turn (sometimes this information risks to leak out to the public forum):
e. reorganizing your army - this is made by PM, but info will leak out
f. diplomatic discussions - it'll always leak out that a meeting has taken place, but very seldom what was said during the meeting, unless the two parts wish to make an official proclamation as result of the meeting. Because some of the diplomatic correspondence can leak out, try to make the PMs with historical phrasing, and it's also a good reason to, even if you're planning on backstabbing, not expressing such things too explicitly in the PMs... The diplomatic discussion in a turn may only be carried out as a series of max 3 PMs, i.e. 1. offer, 2. counter-offer/accept/decline, 3. accept/decline/counter-offer to consider for next turn/suggest discussions continue next turn. The reason for this rule is to make the discussion fast enough to not delay chapters, but also to simulate some of the difficulties of diplomatic discussion and not make the diplomacy an overly effective tool. The PMs from the correspondence should be sent to me by PM each turn so I know which deals took place so I can determine the outcome of the turn.
g. choosing where to launch offensives and which tactics and key targets to use - you're allowed make very complex strategies with conditional plans and diversions etc. Just remember it must be logistically feasible within the length of the chapter. Also remember that pushing soldiers too hard can result in undisciplined behavior, mutiny and desertion etc.
h. starting war without formal declaration
j. choosing whether to use your own general in combat - using the general in combat can boost morale and it also puts him at the risk of dying in action. If the general has gone to the front, the other nations will know it before long through hints in the public thread (this thread).
* other decisions:
k. you can decide about almost anything you can think of that isn't very historically unlikely, say send away mercenaries without pay, choose whether to kill prisoners of war or not, etc. etc. Those decisions can be sent to me by PM. Bear in mind that every character affected by your decisions has some form of power which he can use against you.

[QUOTE=Marshal Murat]I didn't know there were mercenaries in WW1!
Sign me up for Britain. I would like to ask about the difference between Britain and British Empire.
Britian is a country by itself, The British Empire is Canada, they were much larger than Britian, Australia and New Zealand. They are independant countries, plus very good troops, I can make a new faction if you want! India, very good for Middle-east fighting. Than smaller places like Malta and Cyprus. That is the British Empire!
[B]Allies
France, Russia
Belguim's independence is guaranteed
Well you can't attack France or Russia!
Leader-Kaiser Wilhelm II
Germany- was the largest industrial economy of the time having overtaken Britain somewhere around 1914
Considered to have the best military of the time, Germany lacked a powerful Navy.
Allies-
Austria-Hungary, Italy, Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria
If I need to add more information I will.
Warluster
11-12-2006, 05:20
Very good!
Do the leader names have to be historically accurate?
My allies: England, Russia, America (if they are added), the British Empire, Belgium
France at the time of World War 1 had an unstable govermental system which ultimately collapsed due to the Nazis in World War 2. They had a growing empire in Africa and the Pacific.They had the worst machine gun in World War 1.
Warluster
11-12-2006, 08:05
Yes names are to be accrurate. America will be added later.
For got to add Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria to my allies list.
I will be General Ferdinand Foch.
also, you misspelled my name Warluster it is Motep dra Uha Dnia Mazzat not Motep dra Uha Dnau Mazzat.

Yes, PM me your decisons, you know, the ones at the start! And you can make a few of your own aswell.
I had accidently pmed my question on how to move military units to Warluster...
I really don't think that we should start until there is someone playing as Russia.
true...need a human player for at least most of the major factions...
note: I may do poorly at first as I am somewhat confused at what to do here.

Aren't the Ottomans still neutral in 1914?
I don't think anyone will quickly take Russia.
GiantMonkeyMan
11-12-2006, 19:04
i'll take the bait and play as russia...
i believe the armies were led by (Tsar) Nicolas II and Aleksei Brusilov
strengths: large amount of people to call upon to fight
weaknesses: social/political trouble at home coupled with a bad economy means a bad support for the war effort
my allies are serbia, the brits and the french,
my enemies are all those bad people in between us :whip:

Alright let me see if I can explain this somewhat. Alright first off you should do some research of your country during this period(WW1) find out some of their strengths and weaknesses, Leaders, allies, etc. Then post it here.
Second look through the options you have that Warluster posted and choose one. Then PM him your selection along with anything else you want to do (read the options in Warluster's first post and make sure its reasonible)
If you have anymore questions just post them here and I'll answer them or Warluster will I'm sure.

From what understand it's when you have a battle. Choose from the troops Warluster posted a while ago for Austria-Hungary.

I am going well, noble ally. Shall we discuss matters "privately"?
If you wish so. Motep no need to be worried I won't be biased towards you.
wait...no! I need an easy start...Im new to thios kind of gameplay. You could wipe me out in 1915, but let me grow my legs!

Motep dra Uha Dnia Mazzat said"What do you take me for!!! "
Keep the peace, the game hasn't even started and your fighting!:wings:
Just a little advice to you Warluster hosting two Interactives is going to take alot of time and probably alot out of you. Just a warning.
I was just joking around with him. But don't expect me to take easy on Britain and France. No war was won with ease.
Warluster

Warluster
11-13-2006, 06:48
I'm actually doing three!
Just warning you. What year are we starting in?
Warluster
11-13-2006, 06:50
1913 or 1914, what do you think?
1913 or 1914, what do you think?
It all depends on you Warluster. If you want us to have a build-up before hand then sure start with 1913 but we will all know that war is coming so you should probably start at 1914 to be fair.
How long will each chapter be?(A month or a week would probably be best. I'de go with month since this will most likely not pan out like the actual war.)
Warluster
11-13-2006, 06:57
The starting Chapter will be easy, it is when actions intervene it gets hard.
Warluster
11-13-2006, 07:04
Can GiantMonkeyMan and Ignoramus please PM there decisions so we can start. It is starting in 1914.
Not trying to be rude but could you answer my question? Or have you worked that out yet?
Warluster
11-13-2006, 07:16
Sorry, I have done half the Chapter but am waiting for Austria and Russia to reply so i can finish it off. Does that answer you're question? It could even be ready tonight!
Oh dang Motep I got confused your playing France. I thought you were playing Britain :oops:
Warluster are we supposed to PM you our diplomatic negotiations also?
Alright let me rephrase that. How long will each chapter go in the war? Like from August 1914 to September 1914 or different from that? Sorry if I confused you.
Warluster
11-13-2006, 07:21
Yes, Diplomatic negotiations are sent through me!
Yes, Diplomatic negotiations are sent through me!
It would probably be easier if we did them on our own then PMed you what we discussed with our choices. But it's your call.

August 1914 to October 1914 Chapter 1
Britain has laid out four new battleship keels; they are a new improved design. A committee is made for Aircraft design and new battleships; new design sets shall be ready. An expeditionary force has been sent over to France with resources to build a massive line of defense to stop a German invasion, it is ranged from The Atlantic to Ypres and then on to Luxembourg, it will take about a whole 6 months to build minor fortifications along the whole way. The navy is moved out of port.
The French Nation is now catholic; it is moving an army from Paris to near Alsace-Lorraine. England adds new Flying Corps to the Army.
Germany moves its massive army towards Belgium, they than attack and sweep half of the nation under neath the marching feet of the German army. The lay out new designs, which are held secretly. It increases its navy.
Austria attacks Russia, 8o percent of the Austrian-Hungarian army marches towards Russia, half break off and attacks Poland; they are to march to Warsaw within the year. The armies are provided with maximum defense capabilities if attacked. The other 20 percent of troops are to set upon the Serbian border and dig up a defense of trenches and barbed wire, with Machine guns and cannons. The nations of Austria and Hungary, plus all other countries under the control of Austria, they go into food rationing for the war. Every one is allowed one loaf of bread everyday. A program is setup in Trieste, unknown. Only Austria and her allies know. Belgium moves its troops to try and counter the massive German invasion but is beaten back to there capital of Brussels. The ANZACS move to the Western Front with 50 percent of there troops while they leave the other half for reinforcements. Russia sends its very best troops to the border of Germany, its less trained troops to the Austrian front, Austria is allowed to take Poland, Russia loses Poland, Russia increases production of Guns and bullets. The Russians start to mobilize the rest of the army. Defenes are set up along the border.

Danke, Csar. By the way Warluster I should give some details about Bulgaria, shouldn't I?
Orders II (too much PMs ;) ); the region around Sofia(from all sides) is well fortified; the southern front should also be; put the forgotten 50 000 to the south (reserves between Cavalla and Philipopolis); if nothing happens wait for orders ; all the orders should be done now and fast; yet hope the peace would be saved
Warluster

Yep
Danke, Csar. By the way Warluster I should give some details about Bulgaria, shouldn't I?

Bulgaria
Restored as a country since 1878 after a successful war between Russia and the Ottoman empire. In 1878 according to San Stefano treaty almost all of Bulgarian population is united under one country. Later in Berlin the Great powers decided to separate Bulgaria since it was too big for a minor country. It is separated into three large parts: the Principality of Bulgaria (vassal of the Ottoman Empire); Eastern Rumelia ( Ottoman province with its own government); and third part mainly Macedonia but also Egean Thracia that stayed under Ottoman rule.
Years of Russian influence. This lasts until 1885 when Eastern Rumelia and Principality of Rumelia are united by the Bulgarians living in them. Serbia declares war on Bulgaria in order to prevent this but it is defeated. The Union of Bulgaria is recognized by the Great powers but Russia never forgave the bulgarians the fact they acted without her permission. Russian empire left Bulgaria on its fate and found a good ally of Serbia The Bulgarian ruler Alexander I was forced to abdicate and bulgaria had no monarch for a little. Finally Ferdinand I Saxe-Koburg Gotta, an Austrian officer was elected by the Parliament (1887). After years of diplomatic struggle he was recognized by the Great powers of being a ruler of Bulgaria.
1908. Bulgaria is supported by Austria- Hungary to broke her formal dependance on the Ottoman empire. Meanwhile Austria- Hungary annexed Bosnia and Hertsegovina. Bulgaria became independent country and its ruler is no more prince but tsar ( a traditional Bulgarian royal title).
Many of the Bulgarian population lived in the territory of the Ottoman empire repressed by the Ottomans. Some unsuccesful rebelions against the Ottoman power (1878;1902). Similiar problems of Serbia and Greece. Under the protection of Russia so called Balkan union against the Ottoman empire was found. Bulgaria agreed to separate the Macedonia which population is predominantly Bulgarian. Several fatal mistakes of the Bulgarian diplomacy followed.
1912. First Balkan war. Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro and Greece vs Ottoman empire. The Ottomans are defeated. Bulgarians did feats while fighting. The Bulgarian army was recognized to be the most powerful on the Balkan peninsula. During the war Edrene, the city considered to be invincible by many European engineers was conquered by the Bulgarians. The Ottomans want peace and lost almost all of their European territories.
1913. Bulgarian government and the monarch made a fatal mistake - declaring war to their former allies Serbia and Greece. The reason is the fact Bulgaria wants to be the most powerful balkan country and to conquer the important city of Thessalonica (in Greece). Greek and Serbian government are also provocating the war denying to recognize the right of Bulgaria on the lands given by the treaty between Serbia and Bulgaria and insist every country to receive what had been occupated. In additon the Serbian and Greek forces were harrassing the Bulgarian population in the occupated territories. Ferdinand did not want to recognize the defeat of his diplomacy and ordered an attack against Serbia and Greece. However he did not have the neutrlity of Romania and the Ottoman Empire who also attack them. The Bulgarians are fighting really well but the enemy is stronger. Bulgaria was defeated and received few of the Ottoman heritage. The Second Balkan war was a defeat of the Russian diplomacy but a victory of the German one. The balkan union was destroyed.
Economy:
Bulgarian economy became definately the most advanced on the Balkan peninsula for a very short time. However the wars exhausted it to some extend.
Policy:
After a skilful political intrigues Frdinand managed to play the political factions against each other and to weaken them. In the Eve of the FWW he is the one who decides the fate of Bulgaria. The current Bulgarian government is that of Vasil Radoslavov and it is pro-German.
Political tasks:
Uniting of the Bulgarian population.
Bulgarians in Macedonia ( especially in Serbia)
Bulgarians in so called ' Western Borders ' in Serbia
Bulgarians in Thrace (esp. in Greece)
Bulgarians in Dobrudzha - the territory between Danube and Black sea (Romania)
Bulgarians in Eastern Thrace - few because in 1913 most of them were forced to emograte in Bulgaria by the Ottomans; however Bulgaria still wants this territory;
Alliances:
Bulgaria had no alliances. All of her neighbours are hostile to it. Amongst the Great powers: it is under the influence of Germany and Austria-Hungary but its alliance is not decided (!!!)
Current situation:
Bulgaria is a neutral country. First, it was exhausted by the previous wars ( but still having very good army (highly motivated- bec. the uniting of the nation) and ready to fight). Second, the government should be very careful not to lose another war.
Why Bulgaria is a useful ally?
First, it is the strategic situation: It can backstab Serbai in the rear and to hinder any link between France and Britain and Russian Empire which has to fight alone. Second, it can be useful against the Ottoman Empire. Third, the Bulgarian army is good and highly motivated.
Hope this is enough. ( Ferdinand I of Bulgaria)

Belgium today surrendered at the hands of the Allied German and French armies, Hundreds of thousands have reportedly escaped to Britian where the Battle of Britian is expected to happen.
Any who wish to remain in Belgium may stay.
They will come upon no harm, and if they stay, they are under the protection of theirs and the French Army. BELGIUM WILL REMAIN FREE!
Also, I will become more or less nuetral. I will not attack Briton or Germany. If either attack me, It will be an all out war. In the preparation for such an event, I will still be increasing my army.

Why do the French people forgive the British? Surely it is you, who thought you could trust the malicious Germans in a weak and short lived alliance only to be tricked, that should be appologising. You have been fooled by the Germans! What are you going to do next, surrender? I hold to true gripe with you, France, but know that I will be wary of offering my alliegences again in the future without compensation for your trickery against Britain and the inevitable loss of nuetral Belgium, who should have expected aid from countries such as you.
Well, back to conquering Austria.
Time for you to die, Kaiser Wilhem II!
p.s. Briton, my people forgive you. Lets kick some German ass!
You are a disgrace as an ally you promise me aid against the British then turn your back on me. The British would be wise to not trust you. You betrayed both me and the British now you will pay for your insolence with blood.

However, as we have already found out from the problems in Belgium, Germany is well known to betray their allies at any point and they are not very accepting of their allies' ideas about their campaign. If Italy were to take the correct option and side with the Two Empires and allies then they can rest assured that we will not stand by and watch them get torn apart by our enemies, we will fight to help them. As a reward for our joint effort they can be assured that, as a prospering new country, they will recieve the support of the Russian Empire of the Tsars and the British Empire as well as the spoils of war.

Chapter 2
Reports from the Russian border report that some sort of building is going on, unknown work is heard but many suspicions are around, one soldier reported ‘I don’t know what those Germans are up to but I have a very bad feeling.’ What could they be doing? Speed is increased on the German invasion of Belgium, a secret witness said ‘Using the railroads to supply and transport there troops, move faster they do!’ They have taken Belgium. Germany should be careful when doing U-boat raids, attacks have recently been noted by America.
There is an increase in recruitment in France as ads are found in local newspapers. Spies are found within the German headquarters as they attempt to find info on a mysterious subject, they refuse to say. All fortification on the Belgian-German border is destroyed as it was captured 2 months ago.
Russia invades Poland to try and reclaim land, Poland is very rough against there new Austrian rulers and an easy victory expected for Russia. They attack North-East Germany which is connected to Poland, it was not expected by Germany and it is captured, Prussian state of Germany falling.
A transport ship is seen off the Baltic coast, it is expected troops will land somewhere in Western Europe, but where?
Bulgaria has wisely said by there Emperor that ‘We shall stay clear and watch the fight unravel’ If persuaded they will be a major factor,
Britian sends Peace offers off to Germany, France and Austria. They ask Russia to increase food production.
Austria attacks the outer forts of Serbia, there was six of them, here is a personal account from a soldier, ‘We were coming in, nothing wrong, right? It was just another fort. How wrong we were…’ The sixth fort is under siege, food loss, getting higher. Italy will be given the whole of North Africa as well as the spoils of war if they join Austria and Germany.
The ANZACS attack German colonies within Africa, 3 colonies are lost already, an alliance is secured between Japan and the ANZACS, 10,000 thousand are sent over to Britain to help them fight Germany.
The British Empire mobilizes, India attacks the Ottoman Empire, some are sent to Palestine. Canada sends thousands of troops to Britain to help fight Germany as well,
Serbia tries to persuade Bulgaria to ally with them to save them from Austria.
Japan mobilizes and sends troop offers to Russia, ‘Do you want 5 divisions of Japanese troops?’ they attack ottoman colonies in the middle-east.
Events- U-boat attacks around England and near America, they are stopped as Britain finds out and counters it with there own submarines. America swaying to join the fight, but what side? Italy is swaying to join the Germans and Austrians and there allies. Raids on England have started. Soldiers from Spain, Norway, Argentina, Chile and Australia and New Zealand flock to Britain.

I did not say that I would attack Britain, Kaiser. I wished to gain a more or less nuetral standing between us. But now, you have betrayed me Kaiser, and you shall expect all-out war. Also, If Italy sides with us, they shall gain all of Germany's provinces in Africa and thier fair share of the spoils. If neccesary, France will provide them with some of our spoils. We will also provide one third of our land in Africa to you. We will also share some of our latest technological developments with you. We will also provide some protection against the central powers if neccesary.

The Battle of Russian Germany
You march forward with a rifle of your shoulder. The officer turns smartly around, 'Face right way and reload!' You turn right and reload a already loaded gun, bullets can't fit in. 'To the trenches!' yells a speaker, you sprint through town, knocking some civlians down, the wind lashes your face as bombs start flying in, you get to the city gates, they probaly won't let you out! A bomb flies in, a hit near the gate, a pieace of sharpenel flies in and slices a man in half, the sights are not right. You hop into a trench and prepare for invasion, they come in masses, bang, thud,bang,thud, one bullet brings down 10 men. The ringing of machine-guns sound in the distance, the rumbling of massive cluds as they alight with fire, cloulds of war. They panic as the tables are turned, Germany has won the battle of Berlin!
Ah the Russian menace has been stopped. This is a great for the German Empire.

It is a hard decision since both sides are now offering pretty much the same thing. I think I want to remain neutral for my first chapter, I will make a decision as to my side for chapter 4. We will see first just how the war is going.

(You’re sitting on a machine gun; in front of you is barbed wire, trenches and cannons. And then the beautiful German coast. Drinking the coffee, this is the worst coffee ever! Chug, chug, chug, what is that, the chugging noise gets louder, a voice floats into the bunker, ‘Hey Franz! Check this out!’ you groan, ‘It better not be Mulcher dancing again, that is the worst dance Ever!’ you say as you stroll out onto the beach, all you’re comrades are looking up, the sand spraying over you’re face, you look up, it can not be! A vrooming sound rockets down, the ground rumbles and the earth is disturbed, a truck pulls up, ‘The British! Get to you’re machine-gun!’ yelled the sergeant as he lifted you and threw you into the bunker, you scramble onto you’re machine gun and prepare for the biggest invasion of Germany for a long time… a bomb flies in, you are thrown against the wall, screaming is coming from outside, the sergeant got a direct hit on his leg, you grind you teeth and look out onto the rolling waves, a cloud of transports boats are coming in. ‘Fire! Fire! Fire at will!’ the tracers are in the air, the guns are firing, the war is growling, this is the battle for the fatherland.) Germany is under attack by England! The Belgian front is re-opened, massive casualties are inflicted on to the allies, but Brussels will be a battleground once again.
Russia retreats from Germany and Austria, a move discussed ever since they invaded Germany, while they retreat they burn and pillage all in there way. All factories, villages, anti-aircraft and defensive areas are destroyed. But the Russian troops get a bit VIOLENT and kill everyone; all villages are gone from the face of the earth. The capture thousands of dollars worth of plunder, plus a very high noble. It is referred to by the Russian Tsar as ‘Operation Scorched Industry’, the nations of outer Germany and Outer Austria have been turned into a Scorched Nation.
Spies find out about the Japanese divisions and inform the leader of Germany. Where are they being stationed.
Thousands upon thousands of Belgian and British troops land in Belgium, the beaches are already safe as the Russians are already there. More British , Norwegian and Swedish forces are attacking Northern Germany, they are massacred by German machine-guns and have to build trenches, they are held up.
France moves three divisions to Belgium to help her allies, more are sent to support the invasion of Germany but are to late, they reinforce the trenches. She also fortifies Alsace-Lorraine,
Austria moves further inwards in its bid to take over SERBIA, the Inner forts are under heavy siege, Crete is now swapped hands and under control of Austria, Extra troops are seen moving, but where?
Greece needs to make a decision on what side to enter on, as does Italy, America is declaring it is about 1 year away from entering (3 Chapters) the year of 1915 starts,

Notice from Tsar Nicolas II, Rightful Emperor of Russia:
We are glad that more countries are coming to the realisation that the Central Powers' goal of domination can't occur. We implore Bulgaria to take up the mantle and assist us against the Ottoman Empire and Austria. I will not stand by as Serbia and other countries fall to the evil. King Peter I of Serbia be assured of my continued support in the upcoming struggles.
From Kaiser Wilhelm II,
I am glad see two more allies on my side. I shall not forget my promises to you both.

Bulgaria is currently neutral country but this time is about to pass.

Greeks, oh ancestors of Socrates, have you so quickly forgotten the men that fought for your independence? The British, French, Russians, and others who fought to free your country from Ottoman oppresion? Are favors that loose, and your freedom so cheap?
Patriarch of Constantinople
11-29-2006, 03:24
King Constantine 1 King of the Hellenes to the Entente,
Britain, France and Russia are simply fighting for what greece is: to expand our borders, to defend our people. As much as the Hellenes would like to help the Entente, we see no reason why it would benifit us.

King Peter I of Serbia thanks Tsar Nicolas II of Russia, his assistance in the war will be most appreciated. I can only hope for the timely arrival of his soldiery.
(OOC: Are the decisions being posted soon?)
Marshal Murat

The expansion of your borders. When we win, we can take and give as we please. Do you want Thessolonika? Would you prefer that the Ottomans were so crippled as to never conquer you again?

What can YOU truly offer Greece, they can find safety in the Central Powers, if they joined you they would be surrounded by enemies and cut off from their allies.
It is common sense to side with us.

Vittorio Emmanuel III of Italy
Acutally if they follow along with the Central Powers they will be betrayed when they least expect it, as France was. If Greece were to change sides to the Entente, then Serbia would guarantee their independance and would asssist in defending Greecian lands. If you insist on the current course of actions, then I am afraid that Serbia will have to take measures into their own hands.

King Constantine 1 of the Hellenes to King Peter 1 of Serbia,
What protection will you offer us? As you are now surrounded by enemies and potential enemies, it's hardly believable Serbia could aid us against our would-be enemies.
CountArach
11-29-2006, 06:06
More correctly esteemed King Constantine, I think you will find that the only enemy that we border with is the Austrio-Hungarian Empire. They have no other route through which to attack us.

It wasn't I that betrayed France it was France who betrayed me. They offered me to help against the British which after I declared our alliance they went against what they initially said and I was forced to break our alliance.
Patriarch of Constantinople
11-29-2006, 06:11
King Constantine 1 of the Hellenes to King Peter 1 of Serbia,
You are surrounded by enemies and potential enemies. Austria-Hungary from the North, the Balkan Kingdom of Greece to the South. If Bulgaria enters the Central Powers, you will be surrounded.

King Peter 1 of Serbia to King Constantine 1 of the Hellenes
What you do not realise is that the choice is still in Bulgaria's hands. If Bulgaria does as it should, then all will be good. Greece fails to look at the long run. It does not realise that eventually sweet retribution will arrive from the glorious Russian Empire. All who oppose them will die a swift death.

A very useful map there! Thanks for that!
Wait when did Norway and Sweden join? Can we have diplomatic discussions with Non-Player factions?
Warluster
11-30-2006, 08:35
Any questions either go OOC(Out of Character and say the question or PM them to me.) Anything to do with with Non-Player countries is all done through me (I basiclly control them) thats including Diplomatic relations, Troop requests, stuff like that. Also thanks GiantMonkeyMan for posting the maps, they are very good!

11-30-2006, 08:46
OOC- I am thinking of EXPANDING this game and adding more nations, plus I would like to make it a little more realistic. These changes will be added slowly so you get used to it, it may also take a little while, It will be EXPANDING so much I may have to consider adding a helper to deal with some nations not under control yet, plus some other stuff, Some stuff I will be adding is
-More Nations (Spain,Norway,ETC.ETC.)
-An Extended Time Thing.
-More details about stuff (Current Happenings,Royal Families,Goverments)
-Events (Assainations,Diseases,Elections)
-Army details Extened
I hope you enjoy these changes, please send me an PM for helper stuff, Chapters may take a little longer than usual with more detail, plus I would like to keep these Interactive a little more alive.

All the people who play the 12th century glory, this will be awfully familar considering i am basing this on that as it is the most effective way of ecnomically doing a game, now here goes,
1) Taxes
2) Farmland
3) Trade
4) Military upkeep
Taxes: Decided by both the total population of your major cities and your chosen tax rate
Workers: A rating is taken of your most used farmland. This is used, with your total city population, to find the farming income.
Army Upkeep: There is the armies, this is a hard part, you find historically your sodlier names, then PM them to me, than it is decided by size of unit and army.
For example-
Units Name-
Size-
Equipment-
Rating-
easy, this will come into effect next chapters, everyone liking the changes? Plus the games on hold to put these into effect, thanks! You can still join though, continue everything its just chapters will take a little longer.

Errr... sorry, Warluster, but this is really fast. Well, some people are busy or/and could be absent for a day or two or even more which could be fatal. And you know by PM system you need the whole day or even more to send PM and to receive the answer (because most of the time players are not online at the same time). In addition in 12th century glory the players have centuries but here - only four years (even less). I think a slower pace is required here.

how about 1 day = half a month and we ignore sundays... so basically each week is a quarter of a year in the interactive
I think 1 day=week would be good. So that it would be every five days= a month.
