WWI: Clash of Empires - Discussion thread [Concluded]

[Secura]

Purely in the interests of the game actually starting, rather than any sort of tactical advantage.

Ibn stated that he wanted the game to begin on the anniversary of Gavrilo Princip's assassination of the Archduke and Duchess of Hohenberg, which was ninety-six years ago to the day... yesterday. It's a shame we missed it, but hopefully we can get going now we've got a full roster; I'm sure any more interested players can join one of the current nations. :3

I'm waiting the response from Prince Cobra or Vladimir. If one of them joins as Austria then we can start. And it is a shame we missed the date but that is partly my fault. Should have advertised this game more and had the thread moved here sooner.

[Prince Cobra]

I step in as Emperor Franz Joseph. It is temporary decision since I will leave the IH at some point. But for the time I am part of it... let's have fun.

Interestingly enough, WW1 was everything Metternich fought against. Nationalism, alliance system, influence of Austria (now Austria-Hungary). The battle is lost. But... WW1 is a decadent and horrible... A nightmare... A war with big loser and smaller loser. Hope this time Austria will be amongst the smaller losers. Amen!

P.S. I welcome new players to join the Austrian staff! First, the Emperor is just a figure head during such a war, and second, I will have to leave at one point.

PS2 And let's move the game thread into the Chapter House.
