Coming Soon – Kaiser!

[curtsibling]

I'd love to add some extra civs and I would if I could, Pericles...

If I can't implement a trooper,
I will give the Sun Tzu (Greek Military) wonder to Athens, representing Greece's fine army prestige.

And some hard defenders, to make the city tough to take...

How's that?

[Palaiologos]

Extra civ?

that would be too much Curt my man.

Historically the Frenchies invaded Athen to force entry to the war at Venizelos's enticement but were repelled by the King's followers.

[Palaiologos]

We did enter the war in the end after a long blockade of Peraieus that introduced hunger in Athens.

[curtsibling]

These shall be researched and added to events...

Cheers, old mate!

[rmsharpe]

Care to give us a status report? I've been looking forward to this one for ages now.

[curtsibling]

Working on the map and icons - about 65% there!

War and Imerpialism takes time!

[Palaiologos]

How about you use for Greece the same idea as jim panse?

Athens and Salonika as barbarian cities that give infantry units when captured by the allies.
It could also be extended to give units to either the germans or Allies as the posibility of entering the war on the German side was a propability. The Germans did in fact attack our fortifications in Macedonia breaking our neutrality only to be repelled. The division defending them later surrendered without a fight at our Pro-German King's orders. Primeminister Venizelos supported entry to the war on the side of Entente, while King Constantine(not being able to support entry to the war in the same camp with Turkey) supported neutrality.

But i truly think you should represent Serbia somehow.Not only they defeated the Austrians twice but they were the ones "responsible" for the breakout of the war.

[rmsharpe]

This is probably going to ruffle some feathers, but I just have to step in.

Why is Greece being given such a high priority? The only reason why it seems like any attention at all is being paid to it is because Greeks on the forum have thrust this to the forefront of the scenario.

If we're going to do requests here, how about a special wonder for Minneapolis? How about the Minneapolis Ford auto plant?

[our_man]

Be careful what you say about Greece rmsharpe, MarkG has ears...

Ah well, Palaiologos' rabid jingoism is in keeping with the spirit of the scenario!

Says the guy who wanted a special 1916 event for Ireland...

[GePap]

Setting up an event for the 1916 revolt is good, since in general most events favor Britiain-this would be one of the few to hinder Britiain- of course, you could make such an event not tied to an actual date, but like the bolshevik one, tied to some british failure. Now, is it possible to star an event if a civ builds something? if so, the building of some building in Dublin, or of a wonder by the UK might spark the revolt.

This is possible under TOT, and not under MPGE (which I greatly regret, being a MPGE user...)

*Steps in to prevent nuke slug out between USA and Greece!*

@Pericles:
Whatever happens, Greece will not be ignored.

@rmsharpe:
Actually I want to put some tempting wonders in the USA part of the map - apart from the obvious NYC trade booster.

Any suggestions from the era, old chap?

@Our_Man:
The revolt in 1916 is relevant, and I will most likely give it coverage.

No-one civ will have an easy ride in Kaiser!

@Cyrion:
Yep...sadly this is true.

Latest look at the icons...

[GePap]

I had an idea for the WW1 scenerio I want to finish but perhaps you may like as well:

I say: have a tech named Total War,, which makes available Manufacturing plants-which you can make very cheap to build (like 60 shields or so-but keep factories still expesive so that colonial cities can't make them anyway) but expensive to upkeep (maybe 20-30 gold or so if possible)- this allows player at some point to grealty boost the amount of units they can gear out (to replicate the mobalization of Total War and increasing army sizes) while needing lots of money to keep up with this, placing great demands on their treasury to keep going. Maybe then they have to cut back on luxuries, and start feeling the brunt of popular disenchantment.

I also though of a tech called "War Bonds" that would give the ability to build renamed Stock exchanges-another way to fund the evr increasing costs of war (like the costs of new arms plants, aerodromes, so forth). And perhaps rename Adam's Smith's as "War Loan", to cut the costs to one of the combatants.

And then a tech called propaganda-which makes cathedrals available (renamed of course, making temples cathedrals), perhaps as well as coliseums.

All in all, think of way to, as the game goes on, allow the players not only to make more powerfull units but a lot more of them, but also make this whole enterprise cost more and more and more, wearing down the bank accounts of these states.
