- "Years of tension and hatred led to the near constant of fear of imminent war and, of course, nations reacted. The entire world unraveled. Peace became a distant memory. It is now the year 1936. We stand on the brink of total war, and I am afraid. For myself, for my wife, for my son, - because if my time in the Wehrmacht taught me one thing: it's that war, war never changes."
-Major General Erwin Rommel, Hero of Verdun and Königsberg.
The Weltkreig was the boundary between old and new European warfare. It shattered ideas from the old and from them, the new came. Old generals with outdated ideas were replaced with young energetic officers. Armies were obliterated in the field and Armies created with ease to replace them. Simple technology was perverted into disgusting monstrosities. Empires collapsed and new ones burst from their corpses.
It all started with two shots. Two Deaths. A prophecy fulfilled. A wave of anger. A want of vengeance. An ultimatum. A refusal.
What should have been a small insignificant Balkan war rapidly ballooned across Europe due to the tangled web of alliances. But the Central Powers-Italy, Germany, and Austria-Hungary- through sheer might prevailed against the Entente. France was brutally punished, losing much land and most of their colonies to Germany and Italy. Austria-Hungary collapsed paving the way of German and Italian domination of the Balkans... so they think. Europe is now the home of gods over the earth. An Olympus...
Now a new age begins in 1936, the first of August, a flame is lit in the center of the German Empire. The Olympics have begun but Olympus is about to fall...
Welcome to "Fall of Olympus", a sequel and reboot to Clarcia's Metal on Metal steampunk RP. This RP is set in an alternative world where the Kingdom of Italy never betrays in the Central Powers in 1916 and are victorious over the Entente. The Central Powers craved up the corpses of the nations that made the Entete and created Empires. You shall take charge of a nation is a new age. The world is still scared by the flames of the Weltkrieg but Europe remains dominant over the rest of the world with it's only match in North America. But it is a new age. Powers emerge in the East seeking dominance while the light of Germany begins to wither. The powers in Africa and the east await for the fall of Olympus. You shall decide if it happens or not.
The World is mostly now Dieselpunk with backward nations relying on Steam and only the most advanced beginning to even think about biopunk. Each of the three types of technologies has its own advantages and flaws...
Steampunk is now outdated in this new and uncertain age. Steam power requires large boilers and heat for what seems like so little power. They're clunky, heavy, unreliable, and vulnerable to overpressure if are built incorrectly or are damaged. However, they can be easily built in this day and age and the main fuel source is coal which is readily available. Steampunk is recommended to be used by third World Nations
Dieselpunk
Dieselpunk is the power type used by nearly all of the nations of the world. This new age heralded with it brilliant new technologies forged in the fires that was the first Weltkrieg. Diesel is far more efficient, it's power uncompared to steam, and needs not the large boilers of steam and the great fires within them. They power great titans of wars to the sedan of the common man. But they are not without flaws for only limited areas of the world produce black gold and fewer nations with the refineries to render it usable by machines. It too is highly flammable.
Biopunk
A disgusting technology rightfully shunned by most. It violates the sanctity of life by daring to combine it with machines. The flesh is replaced by sheet metal. Veins by plastic tubes. Hearts by with engines and empathy wiped from the mind. It has even been tested on humans It violates human dignity and what the Lord intended for us mortals but there are those that in secret seek this forbidden knowledge. They experiment on drugged subjects that awaken to pure horror. Many think that this technology will end wars before it even begins but they are so wrong. Untested, for good reason, but so raw in potential.
Only the most advanced nations are allowed to even know about such technology. I will not tolerate any nations starting with technology for it shall be locked until late game. Any nation that uses this too early will be reprimanded.
Rules
- I am OP and Valtrona is my co-op. Obey me and him
- If I or the Co-op rule on something feel free to discuss it but realize in some situations our words are final
- I expect posts to at least fifteen sentences long. Exceptions can be made, examples being: Conversation, telegram strings, and so on.
- No godmodding or metagaming
- Most nations, those being second rate powers or those that were not directly in the first Weltkrieg, can assume their own history as long as it follows the lore outlined.
- Realistic. There's a lot of suspension of belief here since this is semi-fantast stuff but no wizards or entire armies mobilizing in a day.
- All battles are to be discussed with the defender/attacker before the outcome. Contact me or my co-op if you need help agreeing to something
- Nations inactive for two weeks will be taken over by me or my co-op. If the player is active they may take control but if they do not resume activity or their accounts cease another player can take over.
- I will not be taking control of a nation but rather will take on the role of a game master. I will create events and control NPC nations if need be. Valtrona is free to play a nation.
- If you suspect abuse from the co-op then talk to me.
