Special Thanks to DayoftheNinja for his Realism Mod for this campaign.
I am removing this campaign from the scenario design competition because (Rules say no mods) this campaign will not work well without the mods that are coming out with this. I want players to feel the emotion and fear while playing this and reading the words of the cinematic to give them a position during war from a bird's eye view saying this is serious, not like any other war game.This is going to be strategical, difficult, and long. The cinematic are going to be poignant. Cut scenes and such are going to be very much colorless--giving players a feel of a black-and-white picture for this campaign: death, rain, artillery, mud. Despite the victories, each scenario will be about an hour long or over. This is not to glorify war, but a history lesson for many. A lesson about preventing war. This war was truly called, The War to End all Wars.
Splash Damage by Artillery Units = When they attack, the explosion or impact will affect surrounding units. Deadly.
Gatling Gun is Inaccurate = the gun will be inaccurate but will affect surrounding units. Deadly.
Gas Attack Units = (IN PROGRESS : STILL DECIDING WHAT UNIT) Lil' Bombard shoots poison gas, kills all infantry units.
Gas Mask Formation = To prevent yourself from dying in poison gas raids, put your men on gas mask formation but it will reduce unit range, speed and attack.
British Mark Tank = extremely slow, very strong against infantry and artillery. invincible but weak against mortars and satchel charges(ability by sappers)
The Wex Flamethrower Unit = long range, slow, weak defense, but extremely deadly with area of effect.
Sappers = able to build sandbags, barbed wire, trading posts for supply lines, and satchel charge ability.
Enhanced Mortar (STILL IN PROGRESS) = Artillery: The 15-Inch Howitzer
World War One had the biggest artillery that the world has ever seen. It had the most massive, destructible and deadliest artillery batteries. World War One is sometimes called the Artillery War. I want to add these unique artillery pieces into this campaign so the player can feel overwhelmed about the many roles and tasks and objectives that must be performed--keeping the player on his feet and ready. The Artillery in World War One is responsible for most of the deaths and also the primary culprit for Extreme PTSD (shellshock) for WW1 Veterans. Under MONTHS and MONTHS under artillery bombardment, many soldiers reached a breaking point, counting them as casualties.
The tank is going to be the strongest unit in the game because it can only be taken out by a satchel charge by sappers and by mortars. But the mortars do very little damage but enough to kill the thing compared to everyone else. During gas attacks, put your men on gas mask formations to prevent them dying in the poison gas. Flamethrower unit is going to be extremely deadly, long range, but moves at a slow speed with very little defense.
The Download is going to be over 100MB, overall, for the entire campaign.
You must make an Imeem account to listen. Sorry.
>>>>>UPDATE ON THREAD : THE CHINESE, JAPANESE, INDIAN INVOLVEMENT<<<<<
I'll be adding like two or three scenarios on Asia's role in World War One since I'm going to buy the expansion packs soon. China was attempting to join the war and send troops to the Western Front. But Japan was entirely independent and wanted to conquer German colonies in Asia and the Pacific. And also India's involvement between the Central and British factions--marching toward their own independence.
This release is going to be extremely large because there's going to be a lot of custom sounds added to this and music to keep players entertained.
The Great War Campaign CHRISTMAS SPECIAL : The Christmas Truce of 1914
I want to tell you guys that this is truly an inspirational event in history--the same as Operation Valkyrie, coming to theaters on Christmas Day. These show that there is good in the world and that war can be avoided. The British, the Germans, and the French, including Russia and the Ottoman Empire had a cease-fire on December 24-26, 1914. The higher ranking officials were disgusted by this event and forced these soldiers to kill their friends--people from different countries, languages, and culture looked at each other for just two days, into their lives seeing pictures of family. They played football(soccer), sang Christmas Carols, feasted together, decorated trees together, and even buried the dead together and sending out their prayers and wishes--patting each other on the back or hugging--knowing that the war will continue the next day...
C'mon AoE3 Heaven and everybody else. This is the 21st Century and we are truly blessed to the have the internet to unite this world together. Countries working together to combat Global Warming, economic reform, political reform, and helping Third-World Countries. I hate stupid people (inefficient, immature, people who don't use their common sense or make irrational decisions), but I hate stupid people because I want to help them--doing what is right. We are humans and we know what is right... because we can feel it and know it personally and consciously. We cannot survive alone, we can only survive together.
Don't kill or harm another human because then you'll be throwing trillions of books and 40,000 years of work into a fire. Don't ask for miracles, be the miracle. Don't wish for peace, create peace.
World War Two was avoidable but the world chose not to do anything but let Hitler and fascism grow. But spiritually and politically strong individuals did go fight to stop fascism, like George Orwell in the Spanish Civil War. It also had the potential to control and sustain communism during the revolution.
The way World War One was fought... was horribly petrifying. It completely reformed the terrain and destroyed much of Europe's forests. It was truly the War to End all Wars but the treaty was unstable. This was the war that has been forgotten by many and had the potential to stop the Holocaust.
The Battles were so massive and long that it created a horrible death for many soldiers. World War Two was a mobile war and a tough war but nothing more sinister than fighting in the trenches with heavy rain, poison gas, intense artillery over your head for months, and under intense machine gun fire across No Man's land. This could have spiritually put an end to war. But it did not. We must remember that we are human and we must remember that our enemy is also human, like ourselves. The World Wars are here not to make us glorify them through games or movies or literature, but to help us learn and improve ourselves for a better and secure future. We can avoid Armageddon.
Hey guys, this is the official thread for the The Great Campaign. This is a historical scenario based on World War One. I'll be covering all major battles of the war in this campaign and will try to add some poignant or comprehensive cinematics.
Briefing on World War One History
There are a number of things that brought Europe and the rest of the world into a massive world war. Many of the world's powerful nations were in Europe and since countries and empires were so close to each other--relationships were tense and alliances were changing. Imperialism, militarism, and economics were some factors to the war. The European empires were struggling over land in Africa and Asia. Militarism, there were growing armies and this would lead to a very unstable political relationship for many nations. America stayed out of this--even though they showed off their Great White Fleet and joined the war in 1917.
The trigger to the war, was the assassination of
This was the most devastating and most horrific war Europe
This campaign would mainly be fixed force strategy with a blend of strategic planning and constant mobilization of your forces to keep key positions. And trust me, this will be THE HARDEST and MOST STRATEGIC campaign you'll ever play... (I'll try to keep it non-repetitive...)
Also, I'll be adding some cool features like sounds and music.
