I NEED MOAR INFO!
Maps of the other theaters would make me go HOLY CRAP THIS LOOKS AWESOME even more.
The starting date is 28th June.
That is the day when 96 years ago Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and his wife were shot dead in Sarajevo, by Gavrilo Princip. I thought that it would be nice to start on a historic day. Sign ups will be open 1-2 weeks before we start.
Unfortunately, I will be unable to play, due to both ABZF and IRL commitments. Had you started earlier, maybe, but :shrug:
ABZF?
A bridge zhou far, his new game that I designed the banner for that he's not using ;_;
I feel really bad now :sad:Quote:

Nah it's no big deal, I'm just kidding :P
You did very well making the banner for yourself, and I'm still sorry about that fiasco.
I still feel guilty though, but thanks.
You can always join later. Also, because of this game, VI game and IRL I can't join your game(ABZF). :shame:Quote:

Transport zones are marked on the map but railways or "minor" cities are not(yet).
Shouldn't England be to the southwest of GEA as well?
Oh was that Portugal? Gah stupid imperialism!
Yes, that's Mozambique and it belonged to the Portuguese.
Oh right.
What about German WEST Africa? :P
Togo? >_>
So what are we looking at for times now?
And New Guinea. Preeety sure Germany had some stuff on the north half of PNG.
Togo - surrendered on 26 August 1914. No real German military forces were stationed there.
German South West Africa - last German military units surrendered on 9 July 1915.
From the Wiki:
This is also the main reason why Japan is NPC.Quote:
The Asian and Pacific Theatre of World War I was a largely bloodless conquest of German colonial possession in the Pacific Ocean and China. The most significant military action was the careful and well-executed Japanese Siege of Tsingtao in what is now China, but smaller actions were also fought at Bita Paka and Toma in German New Guinea. All other German and Austrian possessions in Asia and the Pacific fell without bloodshed.
Oh well guess we'll have to wait for WWII for some Asian warfare.
:chinese:
Have I mentioned I am pumped for this yet?
No.
When does it start again? 10 days right?
Yes, it starts in 28th. I'll open the sign ups in 21st. Those who already have mentioned in this thread which country they want will have priority over the others. Remember that I'm aiming 3 people per country. So, bring your friends with you!
I'll post the list of NPC's and colonies/protectorates later today so that you could start making your secret world domination plans already.
Edit: Also, looks like the military part is not the most important one. Without trading partners you could soon find yourself in a very difficult situation. Diplomacy and getting your Economy in line are much more important.
Let's not go to war, all trade, sit around in a circle, then sing kumbahya.
No, then the Swiss will conquer all of Europe.
The Sign ups are open!

When the game starts I'll create the IC diplomacy thread. This thread will stay for discussions, questions and answers.
Beskar your a damned communist but the beautiiful irony here is that you cannot give in to your evil hippie_communist urges and encourage the red revolution. Mwahahahahah I however am encouraged in my beliefs with imperial britian.
Btw, Russia starts with Czar ruling the Empire. When revolution does happen then Player(s) will receive an option - join the revolution or not. Choosing the wrong side and losing will mean the Player(s) are defeated and thus his/their former country will become NPC.

Dude if you wanted to be a Communist you should have joined ABZF
A little bit more information:
Technology & Improvements
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
They are notNot all are available from the start. You need Universities if you want to research new technologies.
Also, there are requirements that Players must fulfill in order to make a technology available for research.
What, like get hit by poisonous gasses to think about developing gas masks, or hear about them from an ally?
Exactly.
When do we get the giant PDF rulebook?
IBn this is like a massive video game how are you going to do it?
And da as the ottomans you don't progress beyond flintlocks duh
Be quiet you barbaric Saxon! I don't need your annoying taunts this game!
Soon.Quote:

Me, john and w&f will follow the orders in the next 6 days.
So, it would take 2 weeks to complete 1 turn.
I predict there will be some confusion during the first 2 turns(how to move, where/what to build etc).
Not to sound wrong, but isn't 2 weeks, a little slow?
At what rate are we moving at? Because if it is like 2 weeks for one turn of Thirty Years War, then it will be at a pretty unbearably slow pace, especially as people lose interest and just sat there waiting for the turn to end, as there is nothing for them to do.
And since this game is only 5 days from start, shouldn't it be moved to the straight section?
we could shorten players turns to send in orders. Britian could do theirs in three to four days; cant speak for the continental players........
and i disagree beskar. im in concert of europe and its phases are like three weeks and the game is nowhere near as stimulating as this (no map tactics, economoy really) Resident evil phases lasted quite a long time.
Thank you GH for moving this thread! :bow:
Anyway, USA, France, Germany and Austro-Hungarian Empire are still open.
Also, I remind you that - "the more the merrier". So, call a friend to join the game. This makes the game easier for you and also for us, hosts, because there will always be at least one person who can send in their orders.
My apologises, I am withdrawing. :bow:
That means Russia, USA, France, Germany and Austro-Hungarian Empire are available!
I invite anyone who wants to play Italy to join me here. Don't hesitate!
Honestly, I'll be starting Brawl Royale in a week so whoever is on my team will probably be taking a more active role than me.
Also, I might point out Italy's advantageous position of being both a member of the Triple Alliance (with Germany, Austria) and then later of the Allied Powers (with U.S., Britain, France, Russia). So technically it's completely in-character to stay neutral for the first few turns and build up, and then pick the winning side! :grin:
No one starts off allied. Just like in 30YW :yes:
I'll be playing as Assistant/ Diplomat of Double As Ottoman Empire :bow:
I won't be able to fully play as I'm slightly busy, but I should be able to be annoying :beam:
ugh Not sure if this will work out.
hope we can get some more people.
Maybe we should advertise on TWC and CFC.
I'll go do a thread in both.
Ok advertised in the Coliseum and other games forums.
Can you edit the maps into the first post for everyone's convenience please?
Welcome chaotix and beefy!
Chaotix what about split?
Ill ask some rl friends but most of my friends aren't really into internet forums and roleplay...... but ill try it.
Split's internet is out currently, but he'll be back by Friday I believe.Quote:

Actually, some empires do start allied to each other.Quote:

Italy can either stay with the Central Powers when the war starts or stay neutral/join Entente.
USA and Ottomans can choose either side or stay neutral.
The first 3 turns will be close to history. After that it's all up to you what you do with your empires.
I'll do that.Quote:

I'll think about it. :3
Well, I think that if you join as Germany or Austro-Hungarian Empire You'll win easily. Guys here would just keep their distance and try not to "hurt" you because you're a Lady. So, easy victory for you. ~;)Quote:

Unless CDF and Cent invade you from Canada, eh.
Would they really do that, though? ¬_¬
Britain was already being outstripped by Germany by the turn of the twentieth century, why throw the USA into the mix?
Encouraging the emergent economic powerhouse that is the USA to break their neutrality in the favour of the Kaiser would have been a foolish mistake for Britain to make, and unless I'm absolutely awful at this game I would imagine it to be a similar situation here.
I doubt it, but you never know with those scheming British :tongue:
Speak for yourself I'd target her first. British women are dangerous
At the start of the game US might not look dangerous or strong but if you are being attacked or if you decide to join the war then the full power of the US will be revealed.Quote:

Hopefully someone takes at least German empire or the WWI will be rather one sided. :beam:
I'll go bump the threads I started.
Ok, for the sake of the game. I'm quitting Ottoman empire and going to take the Germans.
Suffer the weakest German empire ever!
Nooooo :cry:
Ok whats with this. This game is going to be awesome Sign up people!!!!!!!!!
OR ELSE!
Someone talk to Greyblades.
Why the hell did my favorite british communist leave!!!!!!!!
I need my british hippie.......
First of all, I am back. Had a nice weekend with my family and now I am ready to start this game!
Thank You! :bow:Quote:

Russian Empire - If the Player can keep the people happy, economy checked and get some early victories(and not facing defeats like the Battle of Tannenberg) then Russia can become one of the strongest empires in this game. It's even possible to keep the Czar in power and never face the revolution.
Austro-Hungarian Empire - Though they are surrounded by enemies(both Player and NPC countries), they do have a chance to be victorious. If Balkan states(Serbia, Albania, Montenegro) are crushed during the first few turns then the Player can concentrate most of their powers against Russia.
France - How can you not win playing as the French? You have many colonies, your industrial center is close to your border. Smart play, lots of diplomacy and the victory is yours!
Unless you pull a Subo :tongue:Quote:

Anyway, I notified some people about the game. Hopefully they will join.
spl1tper50nal1ty takes Russia. He can still read PM's, answer visitor messages and will be watching but he will get internet on 1st of July if you are interested doing diplomacy with him.
So, that means France and Austria are still available. 2 more players and we can start!
At least 2. It was so easy getting sign-ups for 30YW....
