This will be a very short post. Who wants to see a return of this game.

Link

I'm also contemplating a time or setting change, and reworking some of the rules. Feel free to comment and suggest on that as well.

[~Neri]

I'm interested~

[Hawk132]

DO IT.

I'd like to see a 20 minutes into the future setting, if possible.

[lawastooshort]

Is this about designing very handsome stylish people who work in offices?

No, I'm afraid not.

[Patrick Hunt]

I'm interested.

[Aseaheru]

INTEREST.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

I will contribute. Maybe

As for setting... How about roughly same era but with a twist like

Lack of fossil fuels or some other resource(s)
No developed chemistry (meaning no smokeless powder and high quality explosives)
Magic included
Not humans and\or more than one race in the world
Different G\Atmosphere world making artillery and aviation behave differently

If nothing from above, I'd love to see 1890 instead of 1920 year tech start.

And consider turns being shorter than one year

Consider a hard cap on number of projects developed.

Consider making infantry squad a single unit like a tank, treating individual weapons as engine\armor\main armament\secondary armament

[Aseaheru]

No magic please...

[Patrick Hunt]

Could we limit to 1 design per person as well to allow more people to get designs in?

[evilcherry]

just do this.

I'd like to see a 20 minutes into the future setting, if possible.

An interesting idea, though that does mean that I loose my historical setting from which I could draw units from.

Lack of fossil fuels or some other resource(s)

I kind of intend to make this happen due to enemy ruining your supply chains.

No developed chemistry (meaning no smokeless powder and high quality explosives)

Not sure about the effect of this on the game. The lack of high quality explosives would make armor more important, while cannons belching smoke might shroud the battlefield in smoke, thus requiring even more munitions to be thrown around.

Magic included

That would mean lots of more work for me, as I'd have to set up a magic system.  Otherwise it justs becomes rule of cool, people voting the most silly projects in, because magic can solve it anyway.

Not humans and\or more than one race in the world

Would this make a difference?

Different G\Atmosphere world making artillery and aviation behave differently

Difference would be fairly small I believe. Just ranges of artillery changing and the size of aircraft, as well as the viability of airships.

If nothing from above, I'd love to see 1890 instead of 1920 year tech start.

What would the main differences be. I mean, rather than being a backward nation catching up to the new trends in planes, submarines and such, you would be developing them, but nothing that serious. It's not like I was that accurate with the time line in the first game.

And consider turns being shorter than one year

Considering. However, the problem will remain that in order to keep the design part of the game interesting, battles will be compressed and wars will take a bloody long time.

Consider a hard cap on number of projects developed.

I dunno, the soft cap in the original game functioned quite well, by restricting it to a couple of teams you had.

Consider making infantry squad a single unit like a tank, treating individual weapons as engine\armor\main armament\secondary armament.

Considering

[Parsely]

Do want.

[10ebbor10]

Added poll.

[Aseaheru]

Not humans and\or more than one race in the world

Would this make a difference?

If they have really different biology and we want to kill 'em via viruses, yes.

Also, we cant vote for the special options after we allready have voted, just a note.
