Although will3 has returned, the idea of making a new history game is not discarded. In fact, two coexisting history games are fine as long as the rules are different.
This time before the game starts, I offer you, my friends, to define what exactly it will be. This is what this thread is for.
I have the following ideas/questions for now:
1.Setting.
Do we want our game to be
a) realistic and based on real life, if so, on which period of time?
b) non - realistic and taking place in a fantasy world, deep future or a dreamy surreal environment?
or
c) based on a real period in history, but branching off after a massive cataclysm/war/significant event (like, what would happen if a new religion appeared in the tenth century and became widespread, if japan would have conquered the world before the industrial breakthrough, if nazis won the war, etc.)
2. Players' interactions and roles.
I suggest the following. We should have at least two people sided with each country, or one person doing both tasks. The two tasks are simple: internal developement/technology/events and external communication/interaction.
We should also probably come up with names for those people, and a short story behind their inauguration to make this whole thing more realistic, detailed and beautiful.
The passing of time, I persume, should be voted for.
3. How much freedom?
Actually, I don't know. Maybe the classic "I attack the rabbit and attempt to eat it" instead of "I attack the rabbit and eat it" rule?
Anyway, this whole thing is really open for discussion. Please don't hesitate to criticise whatever I wrote so far and make new suggestions! Let's make an awesome game, guys!
I'm more for a (b) or (c) version waiting other for taking my decision
It will be cool to have like a master of the dungeon like person ? If you do it mamibo can you play to a normal char ? It will be cool you will be a part of the game in my opinion
Is it possible to play peacefully too if we want too ? Like don't be forced to do a war or things like that ?
It's a good Idea about the vote for passing time !
About freedom I'm more for the first solution too, what about adding some roll ? Coins and stuff like that ? It could be a nice addition isn't it ?
I've haste to see that x'D it's sounds great buddy !
even though I am the creator of the other alt history, i still think this would be cool
1. probably (b) where France won the Seven Years War (I'm ethniccally French Canadian so theres still some of me that wants to destroy england's hope for an empire)
2. I agree and I vote for 1 year per turn (is that biased?)
3. I just don't like the Idea of limiting freedom that much i prefer the game to be realistic but other than that i think we should be able to do whatever we want.(also probably biased)
