I'm expressing interest. I'm also willing to lighten the load for anybody who wants to GM this sort of thing. I'm not prepared to spend enough time to do it all by myself though.

[Skyrunner]

Hmmmm ... maybe a naval one...? If no, I guess I'll make one myself :3

Naval here means as if the world was an alternate history without steamboats :-0
As in the Age of Sail-esque wars :/ hmm...would it work?


If I were to make such a game, I would re-invent the wheel, both for customiz-ability and for fun

I guess I'll plan on such... mmhm... /Skyrunner has begun a mysterious construction!

[Taricus]

A naval one actually sounds quite appealing, though it would take a lot of work to get it into a usable state.

And just a reminder to any propective GMs for this, you will need a lot of time and patience for this. Asking some of the GMs for the previous incarnations of it would be worthwhile...

Yes... I am trying to beat a usable system into place right now, using the current C@W game as a reference.

[adwarf]

Don't forget planes should also be involved in it.

Maybe it could be set on some alternate world where everything is ocean but there's a lot of islands. That could mean Nation A would be stuck on Tiny Mcshithole Island while Nation B is on Giant Islands. A would have to scarmble for terrority but B would be scrwed since most of its production would be in one place.

[Heron TSG]

I'll join.

[Skyrunner]

Erm...if I make an Age of Sail-setting Colony-ish game, does anyone have an inclination to join?

[Criptfeind]

I do.

[adwarf]

I do as well.

[Taricus]

Count me in.

[Skyrunner]

Good
Right now, I'm hammering out the technologies; after that, I need to work on the maps and actual units.

Spoiler: Example of planned game (click to show/hide)

An example of a leveled technology:

Ballistics   Increases range by 1~2   Ballistics allowed military men-of-war to shoot from farther and farther with the identical hardware compared to their non-ballistic friends.            


Leveled techs can be researched multiple times, like the non-named techs of C@W:Hyper Edition.

Iron ships   Reduces enemy attack by 50% per battle.   Sailing warships made of iron are the next step in military technology. The effectiveness of the enemy's shot is undermined by making the whole ship out of iron.            

This one is a "named" technology, to use the terms of C@W:Hyper Edition. It is researched only once.

Carronade   Decreases range by 50%; increases attack by 100%   Carronade cannon are short-range cannon that have high poundage. A ship fitted with Carronade cannon can easily outfire other ships, as long as they have a chance to fire.            

Weapons technology is the unique thing of this planned C@W game: once researched, they can be fitted on individual fleets at will. For example, you can fit one fleet of brigs with Carronade cannons, another with regular cannon, then attack together an enemy port.   

Does it sound solid enough, so far?

[adwarf]

I like it

[Taricus]

Sounds alright. Keep the good work up.

[Hubris Incalculable]

I wish Feifdoms could have kept up... I wanted magic potions. that would have been awesome. And yes, that was my big secret tech tree.
