Happy New Year!
What mapsize it should have? What should be the plot-distance between Paris and Verdun (=Ypres-Aachen)?
Is Finland such important for this mod, that it needs processor capacity? A civilwar needs two more factions? I would prefer some Irish guerilla.
I think the map needs to encompass more cities, so you get a feel for the real strategic picture prevalent during the war in Europes many fronts. The map needs the Middle east as well. What I am saying is France is going to need more than just a few cities. We should use a largest map possible, without hurting turn times. It should be what no one has done before. You could have a campaign map with all of Europe and parts of the Middle East. You could make scenario maps for certain battles, like the battle of Liege, or the Battle of the Frontiers, and the Battle of Mons. Scenarios dealing with one battle or a certain sector of the line. These are my suggestions. I cannot wait for this to come out.
