New TW Game idea 20th Century Total War

I think 20C-TW would be cool.

Any thoughts on which nations would be playable? (since certain nations...well, ALOT of nations... didn't exist prior too 1918...or 1990 [i.e., Poland, Yugoslavia - vs. Serbia, Croatia, etc. - Lithuania, Kievan Rus (aka The Ukraine), etc., etc., etc.)

Not being able to play as Poland would make me sad.

It'd be agreat! For a mod, impossible, for a seperate game, very hard, but great!

Talon, if your talking mod wise, this is a impossible mod, I know, nothings impossible, but this is for a mod. For a spearate game (like M2) it'd be pretty hard, and based on the M2 Engine, very hard.

This has been attempted before btw, for RTW, a mod. Didn't go very far, these threads pop up every now and then.

I'm no modder, its just an idea I had. But I don't see why it would be so hard to do it in the M2 engine.

About the factions, different nations would be playable depending on whcih start date you choose (In the case of Poland, everything exxcept 1900). But even if you start in 1900 (Poland was part of Germany then? Or was it Russia?) Then some Polish cities might revolt and form Poland.

One word: tanks.
That's right, tanks would be quite difficult to successfully recreate in a current total war engine.

Modern Warfare in general is practically impossible to simulate using the total war engine, which is designed around large units moving in close formation, which did not happen in 20th century warfare.
