The people of Italy forgive you, though make sure you remember all the Central Powers for when we win the war.
Dont be so sure of yourself, the war isnt over yet!
TIME CHANGES
Every day is about 2 months, so every week is one game year, this will come into effect next chapter.
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.
So, tomorrow it will be two months later? That seems a little fast I think.Quote:

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.
I agreeQuote:

I think 1 day=week would be good. So that it would be every five days= a month.
ok, so 1 day is one game week, ok, now back to the interactive!
So we have to do all that stuff you posted?
Find pop., make military units, etc.

Alright
Remeber if you want to be a sort of Moderator for the WW1 interactive just PM me!
we're not redoing the whole game, just making it more efficient for future turns
so we need to send population, industry/agriculture and military?
I don't know where I can find population statistics for Italy before WW1. Can anyone help me with a site address or something?
Is that what is needed, I don't fully understand what I am meant to do.Quote:

Anyone who can't find anything, then try this.
British Economy
The British still held the advantage in shipbuilding, but Germans now have more factories to produce steel, coal, etc.
Also, I'd like to join the Commonwealth to Britian. Since no-one has taken it yet, I'd like to combine the two.
Population: 172 million people (approximate value)
Economy: Possibly less than 5% of the popluation live in cities. Before the Great War, Russia was only beginning to industrialise its cities unlike Germany and Britain. Most of the industry relied upon loans from Germany, the USA or Great Britain to start up but they were generally quite efficiently run, basing themselves off British models of industry. The majority of Russian commerce was gained through agriculture and trade but the indutrial growth was beginning to be an important factor also. However much of the industrialised population disliked how the economy was run and during the first six months of 1914, almost half of the total industrial workforce in Russia took part in strikes leading to army divisions being deployed to stop the unrest.
Military: In 1914 the Russian Army was the largest army in the world. However, Russia's poor roads and railways made the effective deployment of these soldiers difficult. Despite popular belief, the core of Russia's army was well trained and equipt, it was towards the end of the war when the conscripted reserve army began fighting the majority of Russia's battles that their reputaion of poorly trained soldiers grew. Fighting was to vicious for the conscripts to handle and towards the end of the war nearly a million soldiers died on the Eastern front for Russia.
The Russian Army Air Service (RAAS) was established in 1912 and two years later owned 360 aircraft and 16 airships. This made the RAAS the largest airforce in the world. In 1914 the Russian Navy had 4 battleships, 10 cruisers, 21 destroyers, 11 submarines and 50 torpedo boats. By December, 1914, the Russian Army had 6,553,000 men (not all properly equipt).
Diplomacy: Triple Entente between Britain, France, and Russia and Alliance with Serbia.
The Britsh Empire is no longer a faction, the ANZACS are still a separate faction though.
Declaration of His Majesty Ferdinand Saxe-Coburg Gotta, tsar of Bulgaria and the Bulgarian government of Vasil Radoslavov
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
By the way Bulgarian army after the current mobilisation is 100 -150 000 ( I doubled the regular army; Bulgaria is ready to increase its number if needed; max. number 850 000;) The Bulgarian population at 1915 is about 5 000 000 people.
Bulgaria is the first country to use planes in a battle (the battle of Adrianople in the Balkan wars).
Serbia
Serbian Army
At the start of the war the Serbian Army was 200 000 strong, under command of Marshal Radomir Putnik. After some disastorous losses it tried to rebuild its strenght, but a typhus edpidemic killed off many civilians, and as such they could only bring the strength up to about 225 000. The Army was poorly equiped and undersupplied, relying heavily on its allies to provide the manpower and equipment.
Note though that the Army was very veteran, having had 2 Balkan Wars in the past decade.
Population
The population was around 4.5 million people. During the war they lost approximately 28% of its total population and 58% of its male population. The largest city was Belgrade with about 100 000 people.
Economy
All I could find was that it was overwhelmingly Agrarian, so I suppose a weak economy with very little manufacturing.
Diplomacy
Serbia very much followed the Russians in terms of Diplomacy, as this was their greatest ally. Ultimately the Serbians are not a very large nation, and instead rely on combining with the other Balkan nations in order to fight off opposing nations. Other nations owuld try to pressure Serbia into what they wanted, and this was where Russia would direct Serbian policy.
The Serbians stood by the side of the Entente, however were never amajor contributor to it, except in its own theatre, and the Macedonia theatre.
Is that enough?
Need More Players!
Sorry i havent bee posting but I have just been doing stuff on it, plus making the chapters, I have not been exactly organised lately, The Chapter should come next week, I'm sorry I havent been doing reports I have just been having a break.
Massive bombings over Germany, Estimated 100,00 dead, the bombers were unidentified, it was expected France, that is the Guess of the German Citizens, also said were "I hope the Kaiser does something!"
Massive invasions into Africa by the ANZACS, also with Indian troops, nothing stands in there way until the Ottoman Empire, they beat them back soundly and reach Jerusalam, ANZAC,British,Norweigan,Danish forces attack Turkey, unfortunly they are stopped on the beach heads. British forces attack Southern Italy, they cut inwards and control much, Canadian forces replace the Danish Vetran forces that left the Front line at Germany,
I don't think I have enough time for this. I'm gonna have to pull out. Sorry about this.
Well, see ya! GERMANY UP FOR GRABS!
We will miss you Csar, you were are longest serving Player. Why are you leaving?:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :shame: :shame: :shame: :shame: :speechless: :speechless: :jawdrop:
Bye Csar!
Csar, I am really sorry you are leaving. Bye, Csar. And yet there is a little hope you will come back .
Who is Austria? They could take over.
Austria is currently Ignoramus, and I dont thnk he wants to gove up his positin.
Im pulling out too. I just dont like the recent things that have happened.
Wow, and to think if this happened in real life, the war would be over sooner, and it would've been less costly.
I can't help getting the feeling that this is extremely biased against the Central Powers.
1) Why is it that our troops haven't advanced, Germany hasn't gotten anywhere in Belgium or Austria-Hungary in Serbia or Italy in France.
2) How is it that the Allies can advance hundreds of kilometres on all fronts without seeming to run into any oposition, eg. How did I lose Southern Italy if my troops haven't left yet and how did Germany lose so much territory in the East and how come Denmark is at war with them, and what about the amphibious invasion of the North of Germany, isn't the German Navy stationed there?
3) How is it that Germany lose 10,000 in an air raid when it is only 1915 and aircraft are barely more than flying lawn mowers mostly used for reconnassance rather than any agressive action.
I just want to know why it seems no matter what desicions we make it doesn't have any effect.
Trench Warfare across France and Belguim, Denmark. I have NO idea how these bombers could kill 10,000 people.
I struck southern Italy, which isn't really that fortified, and The Ottomans are repeling my assaults in Turkey. If anything, the Italians have the advantage.
OOC-
Allies- Have a small foothold in Germany, are currently being slaugheted over there! Are barly intol Italy, not even 1000 men yet! The Central Powers dont care about holdings in Africa so they were lost nearly straght away! Serbia is currently strugling against Austrian Empire, and Russia has been beaten back in Germany!
Central Powers-Italy can beat back the small Allied invasion easily, Greece is basiclly untouched (Except for Crete!) Turkey has stopped an MASSIVE allied invasion into Turkey, Austria is basiclly at Serbias Capital (NEARLY) , Germany has stopped the Allies at Belgium,North Germany and East Germany, killing thousands!
OOC- I am not on anyones side, but if you look at odds,then you will see!
Allies- Britain and its Empire,Russia,ANZACS,France,Belgium,United Scandinanians, Spain, Ireland,
Central Powers-germany,Austria,Italy,Greece,Turkey, Maybe a bit of Diplomacy is needed rather than war? Just a suggestion,
The French Army Air Service (Aéronautique Militaire) was formed in October 1910. France led the world in early aircraft design and by mid-1912 they had five squadrons (escadrilles). This had grown to 132 machines (21 escadrilles) by 1914.
Expenditure on the French Navy doubled between 1910 and 1914. By the summer of 1914 France had 19 battleships, 32 cruisers, 86 destroyers, 34 submarines and 115 torpedo boats. The French government had ordered another 14 battleships but they were still waiting for them to be delivered.
In January 1914 the French Army had 47 divisions (777,000 French and 46,000 colonial troops) in 21 regional corps, with attached cavalry and field-artillery units. Most these troops were deployed inside France with the bulk along the eastern frontier as part of Plan 17. With the fear of war with Germany a further 2.9 million men were mobilized during the summer of 1914.
Annnnd no population was given.
The structure and balance of the French Army changed during the war. By 1918 about 40% of all French troops on the Western Front were artillerymen. Increasing use of machine-guns, armoured cars and tanks also reduced the numbers in the infantry. The growing importance of the French Army Air Service also had an impact and whereas there were 1,5 million in the French infantry in June 1915, this dropped to 850,000 in 1918.
By the end of the First World War, a total of 8,317,000 men, including 475,000 colonial troops, had been called up to fight in the French Army. France suffered 4.2 million casualties, including 1.3 million dead.
Since when was Scandinavia and Spain at war with the Centrals? I don't remember their declarations of war. During WWI Germany traded with Norway and Sweden, so how can it be that they are now at war, Denmark, Norway and Sweden were neutral. And Spain was neutral the entire time too. Ireland was a British colony and lets not forget the Easter Uprising in 1916, I would hardly say the Irish were all for the British.Quote:

And when would you bother to tell us Denmark or Scandinavia was in the Allies? If Hepcat's Italian forces were never moved, how did the British cut so deep? And how did they cut through Africa and the Ottoman Empire?Quote:

And also, Austria-Hungary was already at the capital of Serbia by the start of the war. In fact, some of the first shots was artillery into Belgrade.
The Scandanavian Nations were placed on my side after the French were lead astray.
Page 5, after the Battle of Brussels.
Bombings never caused that many casualties in one strike.
Africa has a couple German colonies, and they were eliminated very quickly, unless the Germans had decided to recruit soldiers, which they didn't.
The Allied forces in Syria/Lebanon/Palestine, those are a lot of troops.
It was my understanding that the Italian army was in Northern Italy. If its spread out across Italy, okay. You can rally and attack us. Good Luck.
I don't know about the Serbian front.
Alright I'll join back up if Warluster will let me. :O
Yeah, you can join again, now everyone, the game is starting up again tomorrow, I was waiting for STephen Asen.
Yaaay!!!
I am keeping all nations, I need to re do my list because i have bsortta been away, so correct me if i am wrong,

okay, I have been thinking, all changes are stopped, there is no time thing, but I will keep Nation things to keep track, so its back to what it was, plus tell me if you are going away for a while, next chapter will be out (ESTIMATED) about 1 week.
Ah why not, i just didnt like the historical inacuraccies, lets see if this will get better. Im joining as Greece.
King Constantine is back baby!
Excellent! Welcome back all those who left! YES! Also, not to down spirit you or anything, this Interactive is by no means HISTORICAL, it is changing history, or do you mean the (OVER-ESTIMATED) bombings? I will decrease that to 500, YES!:pleased:

The Kingdom of Greece
Economy:
Greece remained a very poor country through the 19th century. Its only important export commodities were currants and tobacco. Some Greeks grew rich as merchants and shipowners, and Piraeus became a major port, but little of this wealth found its way to the Greek peasantry. Greece remained hopelessly in debt to London finance houses. By the 1890s Greece was virtually bankrupt, and poverty in the rural areas and the islands was eased only by large-scale emigration to the United States. There was little education in the rural areas. Nevertheless there was progress in building communications and infrastructure, and fine public buildings were erected in Athens.
Army:
In peacetime the Greek Army contained about 32,000 men. However, during the Balkan Wars (1912-13) this was increased to 210,000. Senior officers were strongly royalist and tended to support Germany in its disputes with Britain.
Navy:
After the 1909 Goudi pronunciamento Greece bought several ships, most prominently among them the armoured cruiser Georgios Averof, which liberated the Aegean islands and twice defeated the Ottoman fleet during the First Balkan War. Major purchases from overseas included the two American pre-dreadnought battleships of the Mississippi class, bought in 1914, named Lemnos and Kilkis and a Chinese light cruiser which was named Helli.
Airforce:
The Hellenic Aviation was first established in 1911, with help from French experts. The first Greek aviator was Emmanuel Argyropoulos, who flew in a Nieuport IV.G "Alcuin" fighter, on February 8, 1912. The first military flight was made on 13 May of that year by Lieutenant Demetrios Kamberos. In June, the Hellenic Naval Aviation Ministry was founded. That September, the Greek Army fielded its first squadron, the Air Company (Λόχος Αεροπόρων).
The Hellenic Air Force participated in the Balkan Wars.
Diplomacy prior to World War 1:
Greece's King, Constantine 1, and many senior officers of the Greek Army, were very royalist and favored an alliance with Germany. The prime minister of Greece, Eleftherios Venizelos, favored the Allies.
Government:
The Kingdom of Greece was, well, a kingdom. King Constantine 1 ascended the throne after King George 2's assination. Greece had a prime minister, Eleftherios Venizelos.
Chapter 4Britain has moved remaining BEF troops to Belgium, as discovered by certain reports, although not a lot, it will still help. Out of the orginal 5 000 BEF force sent over there at the start of 1914, it now numbers some 3 500, masses of transport ships have been seen moving around to unknown where-a-bouts,
A massive battle is suspected near The Inner forts of Serbia, A recent push from the Austrian Border notions that a battle will happen, Of the original 5 outer forts, there is a numbered 2 left, one under Austrian Control, the other still in Serbian hands although it is VERY close to surrendering, holding out for 1 year. And on the in Austria there is (EASILY) seen the armies digging in, they are digging in along the Polish Border.
It does an increasingly hostile move and moves its navy close to Crete to attack.
Thousands upon thousands of Russian Troops are seen arriving in Serbia’s capital Belgrade, they are there sent upon the well wishing of the Russian Tsar. The division currently in Belgium has been strengthened again over losses, plus the Tsar increases Supplies, as spotted by a local German Fisherman.
Italy masses its troops at the French border (It has been done secretly for Months) and strikes, the little resitance there fights hard but I no macth for the Italian army. Italy takes a (LITTLE) bit of France.
Germany does unknown moves.
A whole division is sent from Britain to Bulgaria, as seen and reported by Italian Ships.
As for Greece, it has bombed outwards Serbian Cities,
Some new ships are seen with in the British and German ports, although how many there are is unknown. A new weapon is dawned upon called a TANK.

from the latest chapter
Now I remebered if the Russians could not have passed through Romania. And I thought Austria-Hungary is not so deep in the Serbian territory since Belgrade (the capital)was on the border. They just increase the pressure against Austria-Hungary and in this way decrease the pressure on serbia. But GMM, I thought the Danish armies of the Entente had been slaughtered . And actually I am surprised the Germans had no progress against France but just the opposite happened. These are my observation from histroric point of view I mean.
the danish army is currently sieging Turkey! This is not Historical considering the fact that The allied army is currently on the coast of Germany, though they are getting (Sortta) killed (a lot), When did I say that Germany has captured French land?

Please let me join now. I have ahistorical intentions, plus you have conducted the war ahistorically so far. There is little reason to think that the USA would follow it's historical path to war, plus one can have a great impact without actually joining the war.

Ok. But you are neutral and am on no ones side yet, you choose that.

My second act is to strongly condemn the Russian scortched earth tactics in Germany. Such barbaric acts can not be tolerated by the civilized world, and all its members should join the United States in condemning them. In response to these outrageous acts, I have placed an arms embargo against Russia and have extended to Germany a twenty million line of credit for the purposes of reconstruction along with 10 million dollars worth of construction materials. These will be sent over on the USS Old Glory. Any nation that interfers with this ship will see it's assets in the United States frozen nor will its ships receive shelter in American harbors.
I also plan to push child labor reforms in Congress. What I have in mind is requiring a permit for the use of child labor.
In a wave of sympathy and goodwill to help our German and Austro-Hungarian neighbours who were the tragic victims of Russian brutality, 10,000 Italians have volunteered to work in East Germany and Prussia to help rebuild in the wake of the savage, muderous Russian hordes as they now flee backwards towards their Motherland.
Clearly our nation is committed to the Central Powers and is 100% behind me when I say that we will not let you down. The invasion of our homeland has stirred up Italian nationalism like a nest of hornets. Our people will not stand for the attempts of the British and French to dominate the European continent, just as they won't stand for their Russian allies butchering civilian populations. Our nation has awoken from it's peace time slumber, and now you will feel our wrath.

The British nation would like to pay the US government for their generous contibution to the German nation. Such an act of Humanity during a year of War.
Unfortunately, we are disgusted that the German Nation is using such a payment to create weapondry of war, not to re-plant their fields of Prussia. How do marks grow? We'd ask that the United States have inspectors find out where every mark goes in this effort to repair their fields, so that such a generous and humanitarian contribution doesn't create more death. If such money is used for war and not for peaceful repair, then I would ask the United States to explain why they didn't inspect the accounts of the Germans, and why they would allow themselves to be hoodwinked into killing French, Belgians, British, Russians, Danes, Norwedgians, Swedes, Serbians, Indians, Canadians, and hundreds of different peoples.
