Yet Another Secret Project

[master on high]

a PBEM game is just a hot seat game where you play your turn, cntrl-n it, and then send it on.

it makes diplomacy a ***** though, because there are a lot more things you can do in a MP game than a PBEM game.

[Case]

Scott, could you post a few screenshots for losers like myself who don't have MGE?

Diplomacy isn't really a consideration in this scenario. I suppose that the various allies could help each other out with it, but there's no event space for specifying who can talk to who in that much detail.

I'll do some screenshots and get back to you in a little while.

"De revolution! De revolution comin'!"

The Second Deseret Rebellion. The Mormons of Utah rise up again.

It's kinda crowded in the South don't you think?

Roger Kimball's CSS Bonefish stalks the USS Ericcson in the last days of the war.

There are a lot of cities for two reasons. First, the map is large and people could build new cities, so I used all of the city slots. And second, cramming the cities close together makes the game work better. The cities are harder to take and breakthroughs from the front line are hard to achieve. The AI can compose a much better trench-like defense this way. You can't really go around the cities at the front line to get at the weaker defended ones in the rear this way like you could in Second Reich.

The German battlecruiser Goeben and the armored cruiser Breslau prepare to shell French North Africa in August of 1914 before fleeing to Turkey with the British Mediterranean Fleet in hot pursuit.

As the British Grand Fleet sorties off Dogger Bank, the Irish Easter Uprising is in full swing.

Admiral von Spee's two cruisers, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, leave the German enclave at Kiachow Bay in hopes of rounding Cape Horn and making it back to Germany.

Trivia: The two WW2 battlecruisers of the same names were purposely named after Spee's two cruisers. Sort of Germany's way of thumbing its nose at the British.

[Case]

Wow. I've really got to get myself a copy of MGE. Does anyone have a copy for sale? (or a burnt backup for me to 'safeguard' here in sunny Canberra?)

An armada of warships, the American Pacific battle fleet, closes on the Sandwich Islands early in the war with the goal of capturing them from the British.

The cry of the German people, stifled and near starvation by blockade:

"Zeppelins, please save us! Burn Britain to pieces!"

That's all the screenshots for now. Some of the other stuff like Verdun, the Brusilov offensive, and the mutiny in the French army come much later in the game, and I'm not that far along in the game I was playing that I used to make these.
