Alternativ history - a gaming project

[Fixiwee]

OK im doing this as a part of my AAR (in my sig). Believe me its FUN!!!!!!!!
Some tips though.
1. If you have a specific faction from EB try to stick with that faction or its equivalents throughout your whole saga. Makes things far more challeneging for you as a player.

I haven't thought about it. It's not a bad idea but I might stick to the rise and fall of specific nations. It wouldn't be fun for me personally to play as the Romans in ancient times and siding with Hitler as the Italians to conquere and destroy the world. I mean I did conquer the World in HOI2 with the german, but I want the good guys to win the wars.

2. Try to include stuff or people fron past games in your current game. Give it a historical background.

I'm defo doing so. People from "TW Empires" will look back at the great Scipio, Metellus the Reformer and Kaeso the conquerer. That's why I try to play as many games as possible. Not for reasons being a nerd, but to give it a flow through history. I'm also playing Caesar IV for it let's me play through the empirial times.

3. Write an AAR on this. I would love to see it.

I thought about that. A lot. But I'm kinda scared that my AAR would be just an 1 page thing since I dunno how much motivation I'll have. And on the other hand I'm also not sure if people want to read how history continues in TW Empires (if it's a good game).
On the other hand again, you people here are really into AARs, people who do that get a lot of feedback, hence people are really reading it. Hmm...

EDIT: If you want good mods for M2TW try Stainless Steel for Europe based or Broken Cresent for Mideast based gameplay

Noted. I'll look into it. Thanks.

what you might consider for Epoch 4 or actually adding another epoch between 4 and 5 is Victoria: Revolutions. It's an expansion for Victoria that allows you to convert your game directly into HOI2:DD

Wow. That sounds awesome. I didn't know about the converting thing. I might look into that. That's exactly a comment I was looking for.
