The Boer Wars
or
Franco-Prussian War
or...?
What do you guys think would be a good fit with the AGE engine.
War of the Roses?
Byzantium v. Sassanids/later Moslems?
Thirty Years War?
War of the Roses
30 Years War
100 Year Wars
WARS OF GERMAN UNIFICATION
Prussian-Danish war
Austrian-Prussian war
Franco-Prussian war
Already have what they need...Trains , telegraphs, map of that area from ROP.
In the alternative:
30 years war
Wars of Louis the 14th (basically a collection of French/Spanish/Dutch/HRE contacts in the 17th century
+1 Wars of Louis XIV, Or at least War of the Spanish Succession.

Yep, and war of grand alliance, 9 years war, Dutch wars, Etc. There are just loads of scenarios. Plus this was prime time for the development of siege warfare
let em create their own world, doesn't need to be historical or of this earth. or maybe they could take vic's Armageddon empires and convert it?
Much as I would love a good treatment of the Thirty Years War, I'd wonder if players would get into it.
There were so many factions, led by so many self-centered, lieing kids, that people might wonder how they every got through it. (Though if you prepared by playing a lot of CK2, you'd probably get it.)
It's a great period of history, with a lot of changes occurring, so would be quite the challenge.
As someone suggested on the AGEOD forum, their next game should actually be a series of games that hand off to each other covering a span from 10,000 BC to 2100+AD.
Or maybe the need to get out of their comfort zone and turn out a good sci-fi game. 8)

Franco-Prussian War
If you are unaware, there is already the Franco-Prussian War DLC for Pride of Nations that uses the AGE engine. I picked it up at a really good price on Gamersgate. I hope that helps... :)
As someone who wished Great Invasions had worked better, I wouldn't mind some kind of upgrade to that game. But maybe that should be on my Paradox wishlist instead as a prequel to CK2. ;) The AGEngine wouldn't really work on that scale, without Pr0n level problems.

Yeah but that one is far to abstracted. The PRON set up is designed for nation management and the military aspects are really cut down. I tried it but no joy
With Spanish Civil War now out the next should be WWII!!!!
Don't take me seriously, I'm just taunting Nefaro.
Don't laugh... I've seen several posts in the AGEOD forums suggesting just that.

I'm very surprised nobody has seriously mentioned it. Must be all the attention drawn to such requests lately. :-*
Anglo-Zulu War & Boer Wars expansion pack.
Hello everyone,
I'm a longtime reader of this forum. I take the opportunity of this subject to write my first post and express my opinion.
Next AGEOD game should cover Latin American wars of independence and others south american wars (Chaco war, war of the Pacific, Uruguayan War, etc...)

Welcome xaal !
ACW 3 or BOA 3....I bet these are released before most of the others that are mentioned:)
Just kidding of course, hopefully they do expand into other areas before going back to multiple versions of existing games....
Wow -- I was going to say the Anglo-Zulu / Boers war idea was the best I'd seen in the thread so far, but a game covering the South American wars kicks that up a notch!

This.
Also want to see more classical stuff - maybe some Diadochi Wars.

You could break it up into campaigns. I do wonder whether games for the period 1450 to 1740 don't require an extra monetary subsystem and an extra economic subsystem and an extra mutiny subsystem. For example for the 80-years war (the Low Countries vs Spain 1568 to 1648), the Spanish could always field an overwhelming force only to run out of money and their troops would mutiny. The Dutch eventually managed to consistantly field an army of just the right size -- big enough to hold off the Spanish and make them spend money and small enought not to overwhelm the creaky financial systems of Western Europe.
Similarly, the field armies of the 30-years war tended to get smaller and have more cavalry as the war went on just because the entire economic structure of Western Europe was eroding under the impact of the war(s).
For the post 30-years war wars up til 1740 I think the threat of economic disaster was there and you would probably need those subsystems though the French bureaucratic superiority might obviate that for the French and show why France was so powerful in that period.

I always vote for the Diadochi and the Spanish Succession is certainly incredibly well documented.

It would probably be easier to plant the 'Sun King' seed in their head, AGEOD being partially filled with Frenchmen. ;) But there's always hope that the other team doing the AJE stuff will stay in the Classical vicinity too.
