[font="]
[/font] [font="]OVERVIEW[/font]
[font="]AGEOD’S War of the Worlds (AWOW) [/font][font="]is a science-fiction 'steampunk' operational strategy game with a simultaneous turn-based engine (WEGO system) that places players at the head of one of the major industrial power during the Victorian era (1861-1899) on the map of United States and Europe. Playlable nations are [/font][font="]USA, France, Great-Britain, Germany, France, Russia, Austria-Hungary, CSA. [/font]
[font="]
The Campaigns and scenarios feature the onslaught against Earth's industrial nations of extraterrestrial invaders from Mars, Venus or even beyond the Solar System. Starting dates include 1861, 1863, 1865 (with a what if USA-CSA stand-off, 1873, 1880, 1887), with either short scenarios or longuer campaigns.

[/font][font="]Players are military and political leaders trying to let their country endure the ordeal, leading the troops of their nations (armies and fleets) to victory or achieving mere survival.[/font]

Will there be a Martian localization of the game?

The chances of anything coming from Mars, are......

If the Martians can die from a cold virus will this be event driven or will it rather take the form of attrition to the invaders?

Good one

I believe it will be an option:

Effect of cold virus:
[INDENT]

1. None
2. Sniffles
3. Stuffed head, can't sleep
4. Laryngitis
5. Chest cold, only good Bourbon helps
6. Pneumonia
7. Coma
8. Death

[/INDENT]

Trop beau pour être vrai... leure:

Hmm... good one, Pocus.

I'm an idiot...I actually believed (and was excited about this)...

To demonstrate my outrage at being duped, Im going to boycott AGEOD until I feel they have learned their lesson

OK they have suffered enough...boycott over

This is no joke.

Once you extract the expansion pack zip file, open an AACW campaign and press Alt+F4 to trigger the invasion.

I think we must start ASAP discussing the effects of mud on the movement rate of the Martian walkers. I feel that this will be a contentious issue...

Wonderful!

At last redeployment of alien leaders will seem perfectly realistic


( and yet if it wasn't a joke, I'm pretty sure such a game could be a commercial success...)

the first expansion will be Space 1889 I presume. Release date? 2009?
