It certainly looks to be an interesting game. Good luck to everyone.
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.
This is my first interactive history! I have actually started 4 more, diffrent places.
Is there a map showing exactly what's happened?
wow...thats cool...Great work warluster!
warluster... you shouldn't really relay too much information, only describe what is happening from the choices that we make if you know what i mean... also, i wanted to have my defenses up in other words stop the austrians attacking!!! gah... lets just say my troops were too spread out to prevent the attack :wall:
and i took the liberty of making a map, only i couldn't get the colours right for some reason so it'll have to do

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
Yep
Yeah don't really need much Leader, some pros and cons of your faction and allies.Quote:

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)
Do we pm you the second turn decisions now?
note: I will anyways!
Csar, it is time for private negotiation!
Motep I sent you a PM but you still haven't sent me one.

Thats all
France and Germany are now allied against the British menace.
So I'm allied with France, France is allied to Germany?
Does that mean I'm not at war with Germany?:shame:
OFFICAL NOTICE
Britian is now an allie of Argentina and Chile,Spian,sewden and Norway, All troops are transpoted from France and Belgium, Also Belgian citzens and soldiers are transported to Britian.
Battle of Brussels is over, no battle happened as France and Germany are allied, plus Britian left Belgium
NEWSPAPER REPORT
Belgium Surrenders
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.
The German Army is to push forward with the plan against France. The German and French Alliance is broken.
Time for you to die, Kaiser Wilhem II!
p.s. Briton, my people forgive you. Lets kick some German ass!
Notice from Tzar Nicolas II, Rightful Emperor of Russia:
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.
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.Quote:

Italy part of the war?
Today official news came from the grand country of ITALY that if persuaded enough, they will join them, the Prime Minister of Italy was at a meeting today and we caught some words, here is what he said ' If i am, Bribed enough, i will join that country no matter who it is!' If Italy is one by Germany and her allies, Italy could attack Spain and Africa, if won by Britian, Russia and there allies, then they could attack Germany and Austria directly!
New faction
Italy-
there is also old factions which have not been filled in,
Ottoman Turks-
British Empire( Canada,India,Cyprus and Malta, countires like that)-
Serbia-
Japan-
i think the 'Britain' faction should control the empire as well but it'll mainly be guarding their provinces and the availability of more troops...
but i hope someone takes serbia/the ottomans
Can the Kaiser of the Great Austrian Empire please send in his decisions to me! Chapter nearly finished!
I did. It was in my big PM to you the other day.
If Italy joins the war on the side of the Central powers they will be given some of the French and British colonies throughout the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!
Notice from Tsar Nicolas II, Rightful Emperor of Russia:
If Italy joins the just side of Britain and Russia then German holdings in Africa shall belong to you and large holdings of Russia's Middle Eastern provinces shall become yours, as well as whatever Britain can offer. My soldiers shall support you in your fight for freedom against the oppressive Germans who would betray you like they did to misguided France.
From Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany,Quote:

If you wish, Britain, Russia, and Allied Powers will be willing to turn a blind eye from Ethiopia if you were to attack them.
I am very sorry Kaiser of Austria but I do not have your decisions for chapter 2, because i keep a record and it is not there, could please post again>
Good day Kaiser,
the austrian kaiser is ignoramus...
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.Quote:

edit: ahh! post count of the devil!!!
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.
What about decisions?
yeh, could we have some options please?
also, could someone tell me who the ANZACS are? i'm a little confused
as a belated note upon the satatement about forgiving the british. My people did not feel happy about britans harsh treatment of us in the past. We forgive them and wish to be forgiven. 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.
Ah but you betrayed me first you forgot to mention that my enemy.Quote:

Wait did Britian offer peace? If they did I accept.
