It's the defining difference between Victorian era warfare and WW1. You lost me at wouldn't need to replicate trench warfare. It wouldn't need to replicate trench warfare very accurately and there was mobile warfare in this war so it seems very doable, and if people accept a fictionalized version of Three Kingdoms, I don't see why they wouldn't accept the same from a WW1 game.

Sure it's possible to make a game that has soldiers that look like WW1 soldiers and the aesthetic, but it isn't possible in TW to replicate authentic WW1 combat, as this mod proves. This mod is the proof that a WW1 Total War is possible, if a group of modders without the proper tools can get together and pull this off from a game with mechanics like Napoleon, just imagine what CA would be capable of doing.Д®xcept its a pretty poor representation of what WW1 was like. WW1 armies fought differently than in other conflicts. I see ways a WW1 total war game could be great but they would have to change the way combat works for it to be believable. Please don't suggest a WW1 game with armies trying to outmanouver each other, that's not how the war was largely fought (deceiving the other side into thinking your army is in one place but actually it's in another sector is about as much manouvering as you could do). Armies really wouldn't be attacking each other in the open field but instead you could Garrison armies into sectors and initiate combat in said sectors to slowly gain control of them. Could still have 'provinces' but call them sectors or something. If combat revolved around attacking and defending trenches I think that could be done. The mobile combat part of the war was only really during the first year or so until the combatants started digging trenches.

When people think of WW1 they rightfully think of trench warfare. The fictional version of the 3K era is the most popular and widely portrayed 'version' of that particular era.

I know the vast majority of mods are free, but I donвЂ™t like this attitude where people donвЂ™t criticize them because of that. Just doing standard Napoleon tactics of flanking the enemy is enough to beat most armies, until of course you reach those bunkers. Tanks are kind of there, but youвЂ™ll probably never recruit them since as is the games easy enough. The вЂњtrenchesвЂќ are just the barricades from Empire and so clearly donвЂ™t function like what trenches should function like. Ships are hardcoded, so you donвЂ™t get fancy ship models. Secondly, the engine is too limited for WWI. This may sound like a minor issue but going up against Italy who built a ton of these was almost unbearable and made some battles anywhere between unplayable and incredibly tedious. Still it did morale damage and they would run away. Even worse the bunker would вЂfireвЂ™ on them, even though since it wasnвЂ™t facing them it didnвЂ™t do any damage. The only way I could find to beat them was to sneak troops behind them and assault them in melee, which is kind of awkward, but then they do that classic empire surrounding the enemy in a perfect circle. The worst were the concrete machine gun nests which didnвЂ™t move and were invincible to artillery fire. No offense to the creators, they clearly put a lot of effort into it and the models are great but it has a lot of problems. I played this mod quite a it and IвЂ™ll be honest itвЂ™s one of the worse mods IвЂ™ve played in Total War.
