WWI: Clash of Empires - Discussion thread [Concluded]

[Secura]

Will the players controlling Russia automatically lose in the first turn (January-March?) of 1918? Will the United States be unable to participate until the second turn (April-June?) of 1917?

Or are you playing this as an alternate history, whereby the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk (and perhaps the Communist Revolution that preceded it) might not happen, for example?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Give incentives to people to send their orders in early.

I'll think about that.

Include the commonwealth perhapes.

New Zealand, Australia, Canada and South-Africa are part of the game. Not on map but they can support with resources and units.

include me ill make it memorable. if only saxony could have reached her full power...........

i cant even describe how much im anticipating this game. please tell its not in the summer depending on my university choices i may be a bit busy......

My plan was to start this in May. So, this means first years of the game will be played during the summer.

It's more like alternate history. Historical events might happen if conditions are close enough but I'm not going to force them on players.
It's the players who take decisions and probably rewrite the history.. at least in this game.
So, Russia will not lose in 1918 and US could join the war before 1917.

I'm not sure how my life will be from April onwards.
So I'll just reserve my spot as an audience.

ill make time if i have to ill decline admission to the military academies. you better not disappoint me now, ibn.

Secura, like the last 30yw war game by ibn its a alternate history. for example as saxony i controlled a good chunk of central Europe. I would have had more too.........

Excellent; it's war, but without all the socio-political fallout that comes alongside the combat! :D

I would have had more too.........

...if it wasn't for those pesky Brits! xD

[Centurion1]

That kind of expansion will be quite difficult because NPC's can fight back in this game.

Don't worry. We will find a way

[Centurion1]

And I as the Ottomans was richer than Bill Gates if he exchanged all his money into Euros, and then changed them back into dollars when the dollar was weaker. Speaking of which... wait I don't even need to say who I want to play as, do I?

Don't worry. We will find a way

We'll throw warhammers at them to soften them up!

[Subotan]

Also, can't we have EUIII/Victoria/Thirty Years War map colours? Pretty please?

The only aesthetic change I would suggest is changing France to a dark blue, and perhaps swapping the Austrian and German colors- otherwise it looks all good to me- British Red, Russian Green, and Ottomans can be any hue of red/green really.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

France is already dark blue in the new map.
