This is a thread to come up with and discuss alternative ideas to our standard Kaiserreich Game Nights. It could be other variations to the Kaiserreich Mod One idea I like is taking two or three countries from the game and using share countries and playing like that. Or taking a few semi-random countries then setting a goal and working toward it. i.e. - Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and conquering the whole of the America, etc. Or playing other mods and playing the campaign, or following the ideas like the ones above. Or if anyone has any other games we could viably play (preferably games that are free, or many of us already have (even better, games that work with GamerAnger)) and do that. So use this thread to discuss these ideas and propose others. Ready... GO! If you're not stupid, you know I selected No for the poll, if you bothered reading this far, I'd hope you did too. P.S. This has no effect on tonight's game.
I might participate once I replace my Steam version of DH. Borrowing an idea from V2 Multi, there was one game in which people weren't allowed to play as great powers. So basically there was an MP game with people as Siam and Krakow and all those minors. I think the same could be done with Kaiserreich, with people being countries like Ireland and Greece. Seeing as there aren't really "great powers" there could be a list of weak nations that people could play as. It'll probably be really boring, though.
This'd work better with either Vicky 2 or EU3, as small nations still have potential. While I haven't really gotten into the HoI series, I don't think the smaller nations stand much of a chance as soon as full war breaks out.
If you just copy the game out of your steam directory, it will work with GamerAnger. So in that scenario, you couldn't play as the German Empire, Russia, Japan, Qing Empire, Canada, USA, Union of Britain, or the Commune of France?
I suppose so. Then there's still decent nations to play as, like one of the Italian or Indian states who can lap up quite a lot of IC in the mid to late game.
@Toast 's idea, I think such would be nice. But instead put a maximum of like 15 IC on nations you can pick. It would be interesting to give people a challenging spin on things rather than just playing as a slightly less powerful nation (which a lot of people do on their own). Also, I think it would be nice if we got a bunch of people to create some really epic saves from like 1942 or so and then play them. A lot of times we just see the Commune attack Germany in 1939 and lose in 2 minutes, but if we had one where, say, the Commune had won and there was a huge stand off between Russia/AUS and the Syndicalists or something like that, it could be fun. Make that L4D2 and I agree.
Ya but doesn't it almost always end the same way? Russia curbstomps the allies in Europe and the Middle East while America wins in East Asia. America slowly pushes through Siberia and when its near Russia proper and most of the Cominterm's forces have been distracted the British land in Spain and destroy the Dirty Commies in a two-front war.
Your games are all weird and unnatural then. Also it could be because I always play as Poland or some shit.
I think we could play where we just all play as nations in one area i.e. Balkans, and try to either form a union of those areas and take everyone else over, or just all fight each other in a multi pronged war where none of us is allied to the other.
I was thinking we could have the players all be part of one alliance and it's us against the world! For Kaiserreich, it could be Britain, France, Mexico, Italy, Brazil, Indian commune, and all the syndicalist nations. We could do the same for MittelEuropa and the Entente. We could also do it in other mods/vanilla, though it only really works with the Allies for vanilla.
battlezone obviously, its an fps/rts in space with space Russians and space aliens and space cowboys http://www.battlezone1.net/home/downloads/index.htm <- get 1.5 installer, everything else is fluff Plus hamachi or gameranger or any of that shit is needed as there's a server lobby in the game that's still operated.
