ww1 scenario idea

[Broken_Erika]

Germany starts off at war with only france and russia,
Germany would have to capture poland, Lithuania, Lavita, capture paris and
sevreal northern france cities as well as a few french colanies, and at the same time, help austria-hungary defeat serbia and capture sevrel russian cities in
western ukraine, the only way to quickly defeat france would be to go through belgium, and if germany attacks belgium then britain would declare war on germany. I did a lot of research on the causes and ambitions of ww1 and came up with this. What do you think?

It's a good idea. Jesus Munoz used it in his WW1 scenario which you can find on the Spanish site. He put immobile infantry of major powers in neutral cities as triggers, eg. a British unit in Brussels, a Russian unit in Belgrade, etc.

and mabe a transport ship ferrying supplies that when you sink it the us declares war, the special transport would be identacle to the regular transports but if u sink it the us will declare war. It would show up around 1917 and it's sinking would represent the sinking of the laconia.

What about the Ottoman Empire? How big of a role will they have? And how deeply into Africa do you plan to run your colonial campaign?

[Broken_Erika]

the ottomon empire would need a way of falling apart,
mabe having not enough income to maintain it,
i guess they would want to rebuild themselves and reclaim
their former glory

Perhaps also having certain Middle Eastern cities begin in civil disorder. And don't forget the British campaigns in the region. Oh, and thanks for the ship on my thread. It's great!

i have a pile of japanese pre-dreadnaughts and 1 semi-dreadnought, i'll post them sometime.

The Schlieffen plan was based on the idea that Russia required a long time to mobilise. Perhaps you could start with Russian units a long way away - how big a map are you planning to use? Perhaps you could use the events file to add new Russian units or perhaps Russian units are part built at the start of the scenario and it takes x moves to complete them.

and here is a map of europe in 1914

[Broken_Erika]

The map would be a map of the world but europe would need to be enlarged so that there is more room for things in europe, i need to do a lot of research into what each side would be doing.
The civs would probably be
-Great britain and the commonwealth,
-The Russian Empire
-Germany, Austria, Turkey
-France
-Italy
-Japan
-The US
-Neutral Nations
a european version's civs
Britain
France
Russia
Germany
Austria
Turkey
Italy
Neutrals

[Heresson]

In which civ version shall it be made?

[rjmatsleepers]

Will your tech tree include poison gas? flame thrower? tanks? creeping barrage?

Presumably the first three could be available to all industrial nations, just a matter of deciding which to go for first.

Perhaps the creeping barrage could be preceeded by something - artillery bombardment?

Do you have any thoughts on including (or not) Gallipolli?

mabe tot, but probably mge, tot doesn't like my system for some reason
(i am in way over my head here )
i guess gallipoli could be represented by a seires
of fortresses with high defence units, and a lot of troops would be needed to take it, like 1 open land square and a line of fortresses with fortified turkish soldiers,

germany's answer to the british whippet tank, i don't think any of them saw any action, after the armistice germany sold all of them to sweden. Sweden had them in ww2
