[quote]Supremacy 1914 is a player real-time strategy browser game created by Bytro Labs and published by Bigpoint Games in which the player manages one of the countries in the world during World War I. The player competes with countries controlled by other players playing the same game, and with countries controlled by the computer. Resource management, province upgrades, and alliances play key roles in the game, in addition to the conquest aspect. The main view of the game is a map that can be zoomed in and out, but there is also a province view, which lets you see the upgrades to that province in a more realistic view than the list format that many games of this type have.[/quote]

Some time ago Facepunch ran a game of this and it ended, well, poorly. Mismanagement, drama, poor match configuration and [B][URL="https://facepunch.com/member.php?u=102012"]certain players[/URL][/B] abusing the cash shop caused players to leave. With some changes to the game (such as an honor timer which requires you declare war PRIOR to invading a player) we feel like its probably a good time to try it again.

[B]We are using a 12 hour honor timer, you must declare war and wait 12 hours before either side can attack the other[/B]
This should solve a lot of the drama that happened last game.

[B]World Map[/B]

We will be playing the same scenario, Europe and East USA all in a bloodbath with each playable nation starting off with the exact same stats but different supplies (Germany having significantly more coal than other nations for example)

[B]Roleplay[/B]
As with the previous game, most of the fun comes from roleplay, political and economical simulation. While we are not expecting you to go into full [I]method[/I] acting we request you take it somewhat seriously. (If someone is being a dumbass publicly ingame you have every right to talk shit back, but only if you do it as your nation, your leader or anonymously [B]while still in character[/B])
The game supports this with many mechanics such as the newspaper.
[URL="http://imgkk.com/i/c19t.png"]Newspaper from the first day of the previous campaign[/URL]
You can see a mix of good articles and just awful ones, people were removed from the game for writing constant memes because it seriously detracted from the game.

[B]Diplomacy[/B]
[t]http://i.imgur.com/bCEDRwA.png[/t]
The game has a fairly simple diplomacy system found in this menu which also allows for [B]anonymous[/B] letters.
[t]http://i.imgur.com/lPwEBRy.png[/t]
The only way these messages can be discovered by third parties is via the espionage system (which almost noone used last time despite its immense power in roleplay games)
_
[B]Resources/Economy[/B]
[t]http://i.imgur.com/ZwkUtrl.png[/t]
Fairly simple, each province provides a resource which gives you that resource daily, which is then either traded away or used to manufacture weapons/buildings/etc.

[B]Stock Market[/B]
[I]there are currently no players in the game so i cant get a picture of the stock market functioning, but its there[/I]
[t]http://i.imgur.com/JJCshhO.png[/t]
This is where you get the majority of resources that you dont produce, every single resource must be bought and sold from player to player, be careful who has the monopoly on a resource as you might run deficit on a vital component of production should you no longer stand on equal terms.
_
[B]Coalitions[/B]
[I]I don't remember this feature from when we last played, I'm assuming its new[/I]
[t]http://i.imgur.com/X4o1Q1Y.png[/t]
These seem to be player made factions, note that they do not stop faction members from attacking each other.
_
[B]Espionage[/B]
[t]http://i.imgur.com/6Sv7j6D.png[/t]
Arguably one of the most important features, espionage lets you spy on other nations for different effects.
[B]Intelligence: [/B] Provides you with access to the targeted nations diplomatic and economical information, this may include private messages between nations.
[B]Economical Sabotage: [/B] Damages the nations production and morale, lowering their ability to run at full power.
[B]Military Sabotage: [/B] I believe this slows down units and makes them fight at lower effectiveness due to not getting reinforced/supplies (im not sure though)

[B]Gambling for pay 2 win shit[/B]
[t]http://i.imgur.com/UpvYBvC.png[/t]
We request that if you are going to use paid currency (that you get for free or from this minigame itself) that you use it here instead of on production/repairs
Some cosmetic features in the game (such as posting images in the newspaper) require you to have a premium account, you can win premium time via this minigame.

That explains most of the menu mechanics, actual military gameplay is explained through a tutorial where you attack a smaller AI nation near your start.
If you are gonna be a dick and pressure people diplomatically to not be able to finish the tutorial I'm gonna be disappointed in you.

give me great britty you swedish cunt
calling poland 2.0. we're back baby.
SNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNIP
Greece reporting in if it isn't taken already.
Oh fuck this game. It's consumed my life for weeks on two or three separate occasions...I've learned my lesson. I think I won (or stalemate'd) the first ever FP game of this as the Caucasus a few years ago.
ooohhh this was fun last time, but I promised myself I'd never play again!
Well, this looks interesting, and I would like to go with Spain, however I am not sure of how much time this could take every day and how to play exactly.
Some additional info from previous campaing players would be appreciated.

You don't have to spend a lot of time on the game, but being able to check it a few times a day is good. The units moves slowly, taking hours to reach their destinations. There should be a tutorial for new players. Check it out.
I've PMd the details!
I remember the last game, I was building up for one great final crusade to crush the other 2 mega nations, but the game ended, I still won tho at least, glorious Russia stronk. Don't think I could handle another.
I remember the last game. I squashed those dirty False Libyans and was the most envied nation in the Africa.
Gonna sit out this one, don't have the time to dedicate to it. Good luck to everyone who joins!
What about first time players, are we able to participate? Never heard of this game before but it looks interesting and I"m definately interested.
[editline]edit[/editline]
If so I would like to be Sweden please, seems like a sound pick plus [del]Knugen[/del] Kungen is a fun word to say.
I remember this stuff from some years ago, it was pretty fun with the newspapers and stuff. I'll dibs East Algeria.

Absolutely there is a tutorial that should get you up to speed with everything, plus take a look at their forums, should contain some guides.

This sounds quite interesting but i don't think i've really played anything like this before. How easy is it to get into?
Aw, you can't attach pictures to articles anymore without paying.
Id like to join in as Finland, did the tutorial, seems like a fun game to mess around with once per day.
We'll try to force start the game once we reach 15 players and can't fill any more spots.
Acquire me Morocco plese
Give me the Russian Empire please? I hope I don't fuck up.
Also do you have to RP what the RL ruler was like specifically? Because RPing nick the second sounds funny as fuck.

Nah you can't do it however you want.
:snip:
The wheel thing seems pretty easy to get high command points off, hopefully pictures in articles won't be a problem for most of us.
Calling Greenland.
Fine choice my friend

Article pictures were half the fun imo. How else can you help put out the facts of your False Libyan neighbors than to show the pictures of their army of babies?
Hell no. I'm not playing this game again. Last time I played with you guys I was Morocco and Spain was a total dick, constantly causing tension at our borders, and all my allies were acrossed the mediterannean and I hated it
:v: No, but really, I wish I could join, I just don't have time with work
[editline]3rd February 2017[/editline]

I'll take South Canada.
How much time does this require?
