Its 1914, and the world is about to go to war. We shall take AGEOD's WWI game and see how it holds up! If you have never played an AGEOD game, they are odd strategy games where the same engine is bent to the will of every period from Rome to WWI. Each turn covers two weeks, and the whole campaign is 107 turns long. We shall begin before the troops are even raised and fight on until one side surrenders. (or, like the 30 years war, until its obvious I've won but the game refuses to realize this.) First we need to pick a side. I'm going to try and make this one a bit more interactive, as it has a lot more interesting events you can choose from. The Eastern Entente This is a fancy way of saying Russia and the minor Baltic states – massed manpower, terrible generals and troops. Its Russia, it never changes whatever time period you play! (at least in games, history may beg to differ. The Western Entente Allied to Russia, France will support her, and it is very likley that the British will join them (despite what King George has said to the Kaisers brother.) France has the Elan, Britain has the international Empire on which to call. The Central Powers Germany is Europe's new superpower, shackled to the corpse of its oldest in the form of Austria-Hungary. The underdogs and the historical losers, they can hope to call the Ottoman Empire into the war (another dying empire.) They will have to fight a war on two fronts. Which is Always a good idea! So – who shall we be? Once we have picked a side, I shall do a more detailed post on their situation.

WESTERN ENTENTE I think we need elan as well. I'd like to see France win this and not end the war a hollowed out husk that'd surrender to the Wehrmacht in a month. Vote for the West and for France.

Central Powers. Lead the house of Habsburg to victory against the French and the British once more! Oh, and the Hohenzollerns too I guess.

As much as I agree that Russia doesn't get enough love, they unfortunately have a much narrower range of stuff to do than the CP or WE in this game (they don't even get to control the Entente's diplomatic efforts). Plus, playing CP or WE gives you the ability to risk your entire dreadnought fleet on THE DECISIVE BATTLE

Central Powers. I suspect you'll get a much better LP from the middle fighting out, plus we will get to see all fronts in action.

Eastern Entente so Grey can know how it feels to be wiped out in mass numbers.

Eastern Entente because I've always felt bad for Czar Nicholas, so maybe if you win the war he can retire to somewhere nice instead of, well, y'know...

Central Powers, but I wonder if it's actually necessary to fight the Eastern Powers beyond a token effort before they have a civil war forcing them out of action.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:Central Powers, but I wonder if it's actually necessary to fight the Eastern Powers beyond a token effort before they have a civil war forcing them out of action. The Civil War (and other negative events) is triggered via a national morale system that is honestly so jury-rigged and insane that it's actually kind of impressive, but I won't steal Grey's thunder by trying to describe it. Suffice to say, you will need to replicate CP successes against the Eastern Entente for the Civil War to occur.

Central Powers. TO PARIS AND BEYOND! I think in these games the CP are tougher to play - you have to fight on two fronts, you have one decent power and your allies at best are generally weak and you have few options so must be strategically choosy.

Winning the war as the Entente again would only be really interesting if you could create a different postwar world and watch it play out a little.
