Metal on Metal [WW1 Steam/Diesel Punk]OOC(OPEN)

[Clarcia]

I’ll consider doing Central Powers Italy. However I’ll need to think of a game plan first.

Ok. I’ll reserve it for you to give you time to think.

EDIT: But don’t be afraid to do other nations!

Arkeyena and Danceria, your reservations expire at the end of Sunday.

Hey, would a steam or diesel powered bipedal walker a little too op until later war?

Accepted!

OC will be up one day after we get France and Ottomans.

[Barapam]

Can we use alternative leaders (and maybe also different domestic history) or is it just the tech that is Alt-his?

[Clarcia]

If you want to tweak the history with steampunk, that’s fine but don’t stray too far from irl governments.

Of course not, I was more thinking that with other leaders, a neutral country perhaps feels like it can join the war.

Oh yeah, that’s fine.

Do you know a good site to find army and navy numbers? I've googled to no avail.

Honestly, just look up something like Sweden army size 1914 and estimate from there.

Thanks! Will edit it tomorrow. What source did you use?

On another topic, what's best, to start as neutral or be a Central Power already? Researching numbers I instead found interesting stuff about how the Swedes were given German offers to join as early as 1910.

Your call. We can just work either in.

You’re welcome! It’ll be better to start a month after the war has begun, to give Russian troops time to be devoted in Germany and Austria-Hungary.

[Clarcia]

For anyone who might want to play France, you’d be a life saver.

Hmm...the premise of this rp seems familiar...

Anyway reserve the Republic of China
