RP Description:
On the backs of their subjects, European monarchs have vied to control the world for centuries. Ever since Columbus' famous journey across the sea and the beginning of the quest for a New World, the powers of Europe have been engulfed in numerous wars, with each campaign writing a new chapter in the books of history. Now, a new revolution has engulfed the world, but this time it is not one of blood, rather one of steam. Machines and industry are rising like never before, with the once useless coal mines becoming the foundation of the modern industrial economy. War has changed with technology, and the land empires of Europe look to consume their neighbors, while the colonials look to the Far East to establish their global hegemony. Can you lead a nation to glory, or will you let her fall to her foes? The drums of your soldiers are calling. Guns, Drums, and Steel is a player-defined alternate history roleplay. Our timeline begins on the 1st of January 1853, with a nominal point of divergence of 13 April 1204 - the date of the Sacking of Constantinople and the failure of the Fourth Crusade. Players may take up the mantle of a state that they craft using the app, or one that has already been applied for, if the person who originally made it no longer RPs it. You may apply for whatever you want, within the bounds of realism and the application, and also within the bounds of preset history as laid down further below. Other than that, you are free to create whatever nation you want; let your imagination run wild. However, note that if an area has been applied for before, then its lore cannot be changed from what is in the app from before 1853 (*note, there are few exceptions to this).
