[PC] Vainglory of Nations

[Syt]

AGEOD's attempt at a game spanning 1850 - 1920 has gotten its own subforum, and it has a new screenshot up:


Feature recap (two years old, so some stuff may have changed):

Vainglory of Nations is a historical strategy game, with a simultaneous turn-based engine, that sets the players at the head of the Great Powers of the world between 1850 and 1920. Eight nations are playable, either solo or multiplayer: USA, Great-Britain, Germany, France, Japan, Russia, Austria-Hungary and Italy. The game has the following set of Unique Selling Points below:

VAINGLORY OF NATIONS is a new unique concept from the original designer of EUROPA UNIVERSALIS, PAX ROMANA, GREAT INVASIONS, and the team of BIRTH OF AMERICA and AMERICAN CIVIL WAR where players are Victorian statesmen trying to find the best way ahead for their nations in the midst of uncontrolled capitalistic expansion, commercial and technological changes, colonial and social conflicts and behind the doors great powers diplomatic negotiations.

For clarification, it is not linked to WW1 which was not developed by AGEOD, "only" published.

I've been following this game for some time. It could be absolutely awesome, but I'm afraid of getting my hopes up.

You should know better than me, because I was kicked off the beta team due to inactivity.

where players are Victorian statesmen

As a Victorian statesman, my first order of business will be to prevent the British army from getting rid of the red tunics for khaki.

That should make them easy targets.

Pfft, there's no place for tactical usefulness when it comes to looking smashing on the Veld.

Me too. 


BTW there is a brand new official patch for WW1 which I haven't have time to try. People rave about the AI improvements in it.

I will trade two tea for your machine part! 

It could be good. It could also be fantastically terrible.

There was talk of a diplomatic model that would also have a "crisis function". Could be interesting.

I am more interested in Rise of Prussia.

A Victorian statesman in 1850 won't have to worry about that in his lifetime.  The Indian Army will go to khaki during that lifetime, though.

I like how all the cities have little gardens on the left and all the houses on the right. I am sure that it was how cities were back then. Neat and ordered.
