Civil War NES

Recently i have been reading Harry Turtledove's(or somethign like that) How Few remain. Then i thought i wonder how it would turn out in a Civ3 game. Unfortuanately scenarios like that can not yet be created so i figured way to make it nmost interesting is by making a NES out of it.

For some other notes, in this NES, each Real life day is equal to 1 month. the story begins in 1887 after the Confederacy as acquired two mexican Provinces. We can continue the story after the intro as soon as we have people for the USA, Canada, England, France, and the Indian Nation. All other nations are optional. Post on this forum if you want to join.

Here's the Civilizations:

Confederate States of America

Enemies: United States of America
Government: Democracy
Military Strenghth: small standing army, but many volunteers availible, virtually no navy

Enemies: Indian Nation, England, France, Canada, Confederate States of America
Government: Democracy
Military Strength: Large amounts of Calvary scattered around the United States, medium navy, many volunteers availible to use has ground troops

England
Leader: ?
Alliances: Confederate States of America, France, Canada

Government: Monarchy
Military Strength: Gigantic Navy, many elite forces stationed around the USA for raids in case of war

That is pretty much how it stands in the way of nations. As a side note the Indian Nation does not have its own borders. They are bands of tribes that live within the Confederate States. With notes about possible revolutions, the Territory of Utah is almost in open revolt because of dicrimination against mormons. In the Confederacy, Negros following the preaching of Abe Lincoln, who is in this alternate world a communist may also begin to revolt against their white masters. Now time for the intro:


The year is 1887. It has been over 20 years since the Great War of Succession. The Confederate states have since acquired Cuba and two Mexican Provinces. Abraham Lincoln is preaching the ways of communism to the oppressed miners and factory workers of the West. George Custer is a colonel in the USA Army. He is testing Gatling guns, which are the predecessors of machine guns, against the Indian raiders which terrorize Nex mexico Territory. General Stonewall Jackson is in charge of the Confederate Armies and Jeb Stuart is commander of the Western Army. Tensions have been continually rising in between the USA and the CSA as the first Republican president since Abe Lincoln has takign charge of the USA. Once again North America is on the outbreak of war.

You might find some trouble getting players if many people have not read the book (I have, but am not currently interested in the game).

I would suggest either scanning in the map from the book or trying to find it online somewhere so everyone can see what the national borders look like.

I have been trying to do that, problem is i dont have a scanner. As another problem there is no where online that i have been able to find that has a picture of the South and the North during the Civil War.

I have decided that their are no good maps of North America that are downloadable. I decided it would be much easier to describe it. First get out a history book or a book about the Civil War. Then look for a map of the Civil War. There you go, a nice map. Sorry i cant post a good map but i cannot find a map of North America anywhere.

Can i play? i would like to be germany.

Here, I thought I'd help you out on a map. This is actually from Great War: American Front not How Few Remain but it's pretty much the same thing. I'm sorry that it's a little small.

Thanks the Great War map was the one i was going to use anyways.

Okay now as another note England, France, and Germany are in the same places as on a world map so no need for them to be shown on the map. Now that the map is shown i hope some people join.

BTW sure Tricky you can join.

damn i'd love to play. i love that series and adore civil war stuff.

but i'm in too many as it is.

Okay, well too bad. I can't really start a story till i got someone for the USA. Trickey, if you feel like it i would not mind if you switched to England, France, the Indian Nation, or the USA. All others are not as important.

hey, I'll be the CSA or USA. Whatever is open. If they r both free i'll be Confederate States of America.

Good i am CSA and am suffering from a major case of writers block. Mind starting the story?

I am officailly abandoning all interest in this story as it seems to be dying anways.

why did this die it looked fun

Ill be France

lol its not open its been dead for abotu a year now i just wanna know why it died

lol sry i diddent read the dates or the above posts

lol, this was a long time ago, it was going to be a board game NES. However if there is interest I could consider reopening it as a story NES.

i'd join it in a story NES form

So would I. I love alternate History.

EQ want me to make a map for this nes? only north america map?
